It’s nice to see Swedes that are in the forefront of the web these days. Malmö-based Liviu P has started the aptly named site MyTripYourMoney.com in order to raise money for the road trip of his life: riding across America in a Lamborghini Murciélago. Liviu and his associates will document the trip in a blog using video and all the rest. The car, and the site, will be covered in advertising – of course. This […]
I recently moved to a new apartment, and today a letter from my electricity company fell through the letterbox. I thought I’d check out my options with the others and did a Google search for elleverantör miljö, el-leverantör miljö and el leverantör miljö which are three ways of spelling (and misspelling) electricity provider and environment. Two words that one might think would be connected at a time like this. Not one company had thought of […]
Okay, I’m (somewhat) back. I’ll leave out the details of what happened for now, as this is a blog about my work, not my life. Although it has become obvious that the two are interconnected in more ways than I first had thought. Instead, more blog posts about the exciting world of the internet will follow. Stay tuned.

I won’t be answering my phone or my e-mail the next few days. Something tragic has happened and I have to deal with it in the best way I can. I’ll let you know when things start to change.
Tomorrow David and I will be hosting the first Likemind-event in Malmö, Sweden. If you like the sound of it, turn up at 9 am at Solde Kaffebar and join us for coffee. And if you haven’t quite understood what it’s all about, I’ve (also) borrowed a description from Piers: * You just turn up. * You don’t have to turn up at 8. You can come sometime between 8 and 10 (or 9 and […]
Catching up on some reading while preparing for a column that I’m writing for Internetworld. A lot of these links aren’t new, but they are definitely worth reading still the same. Tristan Louis, once employed by Boo.com, lists accurate and interesting points as to why the return of the e-commerce giant makes more sense than ever. Org 2.0 – the 59 smartest nonprofit organizations online today. I love when well-willing organizations use new technology to […]
In short – Hong Kong was great! A vibrant city with an interesting mix of East and West, at least if you live on Kowloon rather than the island. We stayed at Langham Place which was excellent. For being a world city with international corporate presence, the general internet awareness seemed to be surprisingly low. Very few sites were advertised or communicated in other ways. Surprising for me, but it just goes to show that […]
I’m home! And as soon as I get my daily rhythm going I’ll post a few thoughts and links on Hong Kong. But before that, I just want to invite everyone to Malmös first Likemind session. I will be hosting it together with David Carlson, from David Report. Let´s meet at Friday the 19th at Solde kaffebar on Regementsgatan 2 in Malmö at 9 am, and then take it from there. Thanks to Piers, Noah […]
Saying that IM works as usual turned out to be a bit of an overstatement, I’m sorry to say. Actually, hardly anything works on the internet due to the recent earthquake. On the bright side, I have been forced to deal with my internet addiction 😉 As soon as I can access things again I’ll write a few notes on my experiences. Until then, the Swedish readers of this blog can read the article I […]
