Google acquires Jaiku Jaiku is joining Google. While it’s too soon to comment on specific plans, we look forward to working with our new friends at Google over the coming months to expand in ways we hope you’ll find interesting and useful. Our engineers are excited to be working together and enthusiastic developers lead to great innovation. We look forward to accomplishing great things together. In order to focus on innovation instead of scaling, we […]
As I’ve been challenged by both Jocke and Sorosh regarding the title as most transparent CEO, I have to step my game up a bit. Apart from Jaiku and Dopplr, I’m planning to release my calendar (iCal) and my todos (Remember the Milk). Unfortunately the iCal-feed seems to contain everything I’ve ever written it in – and not just the upcoming events (is there a way of fixing this?). This means that I have to […]
I’m a guest lecturer at the University of Lund this week. The theme is online journalism, a subject that interests me a lot. Apart from the irony of me lecturing at the same institution that I once planned to attend, a lot of interesting thoughts have come up regarding journalism. Web TV for instance. I had to write it down. It seems some have misunderstood the whole point of TV, or moving images, on the […]
Tomorrow, Wednesday, I will be holding my first Pecha Kucha presentation in Gothenburg. The topic is Jetset for all and is loosely based on this blog entry that I wrote a few weeks ago. If you’re around, please come by! It’s free! 19.30 at Nefertiti is the place to be.
Likemind has exploded and is now in 36 cities worldwide. Crazy! Tomorrow, Friday, I will be attending the Stockholm version, but the Malmö one is on as usual. I hope to see you there!
Now this is normally not a blog that covers too much news, but this was to interesting to pass on. At Techcrunch 40, Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, announced that they will be starting a fund to support Facebook developers. The sum of money will range from $25 000-$250 000 and the only condition so far is that it is spent on developing their company within Facebook. IMHO, this is a brilliant idea. When […]
70 years with television and suddenly the TV channels gets how people watch it. Using several channels, not just the one that they happen to own. It started this summer with Schibsted´s acquisition of TV.nu, a fairly basic site that lists what television programmes are on. Following this, both TV4 and Kanal5 decided to take on a new approach to what a television site could, and should, contain. Information about television – no matter what […]
I held a presentation about the future of e-commerce at Webbdagarna Malmö today. It’s in Swedish and it builds strange with Slideshare, but you’ll get the picture. Also, Fredrik and I set up a backchannel in Jaiku that you can find here. Here you go: tags technorati : e-commerce presentation webbdagarna internetworld tags bloggar.se: e-handel, presentation, webbdagarna, internetworld
Stockholm University: Create a Facebook account and make three friends. Stanford University: Create a Facebook application. No wonder we’re not getting anywhere.
While I was gone three similar, but interesting, pieces of news turned up Bloglines. DN, Aftonbladet and Sydsvenskan are planning communities with the Josh XCAP platform. It’s slightly strange that they all chose the same system, but fair enough – that’s not the interesting part. What is, is the choice to start building their own communities at a time like this. The logic follows along the lines of the classic protectionism that is often shown […]
