Columns and blog posts, written over the years on a variety of websites.
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 […]
Tomorrow morning I’ll be leaving for Hong Kong, and I won’t be back until the 10th of January. Until then, I won’t be answering any calls on my mobile phone as it seems to cost 18 SEK a minute… A bit steep just to have a chat. If you want to contact me please give me a call on Skype, either with my handle bjornjeffery or to my number +46 (0) 40 692 8 692. […]
We started Good Old a few months ago with the idea that a lot of companies wanted to do something on the internet, but they didn’t know quite what do to. It turns out we were right. In January we will officially be six employees, and a good friend of mine is moving down to help us set up an office in Macedonia. I’ll post the blog link as soon as things are moving. For […]

Luxe London Loos The five-star facilities, WC1, are more than just restrooms. For GBP 5, stressed out shoppers and women on their way from meeting to meeting, or work to date can relax, revive and be pampered. Ten Predictions about the Cell Phone Industry in 2007, by Roman Polz. Mobile TV’s early adopters are expected to be mass transit commuters, primarily Asian and European adults wanting to get the early morning news or sports highlights […]
Over at Vassa Eggen (Swedish only) I find an interesting article about newspapers, other than The Guardian, starting to look at PDF-editions: One might think a newspaper in PDF format would have only slight appeal, but publishers see real potential. For one, the PDF is highly portable, fit for printing out on short notice, which makes it ideal for people heading into meetings, for example. And the printed version, at 8.5 by 11 inches, fits […]
Read this! Myron, 27, is a reporter for the Fort Myers News-Press and one of its fleet of mobile journalists, or “mojos.” The mojos have high-tech tools — ThinkPads, digital audio recorders, digital still and video cameras — but no desk, no chair, no nameplate, no land line, no office. They spend their time on the road looking for stories, filing several a day for the newspaper’s Web site, and often for the print edition, […]
