Just thought I’d give you a tip before the weekend. Moving Images is a conference in Malmö that takes place June the 10th. The theme for this year is storytelling and the line up is really good. Winston Binch from Crispin Porter + Bogusky is one of the speakers for instance. We’ve have been part of the reference group for the conference which means wifi and backchannels, among other things. You should sign up straight […]

A farewell to roaming

Just a quick thought and another example of The Technical Divide that we’re experiencing. Fring for iPhone was released today. I tried the service in my old Nokia E70 quite some time ago and was not impressed. Full of bugs and bad quality in general. But not any more. It seems Fring needed the interface of the iPhone for it to click – at least for me. I’ve tried it quickly and it makes perfect […]

The Technical Divide

Good Old Trend

This blog post has been brewing in my head for months, and I haven’t quite been able to pin it done completely until now. I’m holding a presentation on the subject at KTH on the 9th of April and I was hoping that your input could help me improve the idea and turn it into something really good and interesting to listen to. In the mid-90s the Clinton Administration coined the phrase “the digital divide” […]

This isn’t exactly news hot off the RSS-reader, but here are three interesting things to look into.

Analys, schmanalys

Good Old Trend

A short interlude in Swedish since I’m commenting a Swedish article – I’ll be right back! Flerkanalspublicering, internetstrategi, läsarmedverkan – aktuella frågor för alla medieföretag idag. Tyvärr finns det mer angelägna problem på en betydligt lägre nivå: avsaknaden av bra innehåll, och en seriös reality check om vilken roll man har i medielandskapet egentligen. Låt mig dissekera Sydsvenskan.ses artikel från GSMA idag: ANALYS: Allt fler vill in på explosivt växande marknad Vinjetten “analys” föranleder en […]

The trouble with transparency

Good Old Trend

I’ve thought a lot about transparency lately, and why it doesn’t seem to quite work out for me. I made a bold statement when I was made CEO of Good Old (and was utterly crushed by Joakim :). I thought it would be easy to run a company differently than most others. It turns out I was right and wrong at the same time. Doing it is easy, accepting the consequences is not. For the […]
