Good Old Trend

I’m absolutely worn out after a long and inspiring day. For those of you that couldn’t be there: Onelinr-backchannel, Flickr photos, Podesk videos, a good text summary from Citizen Media Watch and podcasts from What’s Next. Thanks to everyone – today was a good example of both great speakers, great audience and a great organising team. And I was pleased about my new presentation as well, I hope there will be time to hold a […]

Tomorrow, Saturday, I will be talking at the Hej! 2007 conference in Stockholm (Other upcoming keynotes here!). The topic is “Old Media vs New Media”, and hopefully it will go okay. It’s a new presentation so I’m a bit nervous actually – the crowd feels a bit tougher than usual 🙂 Or more knowledgeable anyway. If you’re there, please come by and say hello. The list of registered guests is really impressive so I’m sure […]

Attention all Malmö-people: Please swing by Solde at 9 am tomorrow as it is Likemind, as usual. Free coffee from Anomaly and really nice people – like you. If you don’t live in Malmö but like the sound of it anyway, check out the list to find your nearest city. Unfortunately I won’t be there myself (I’m in Milan!), but Olof and Tomas will take care of you.

Good Old Trend

Probably the most expected acquisition so far happened today, Allers has bought BlogSoft. No figures announced yet unfortunately. Allers are starting to get an increasing web presence this way, recently buying the portal Spray.se as well. It’s interesting to watch what different strategies the Swedish media groups are applying in order to to catch up with the new internet. Short summary: * Schibsted, with several in-house developed services, is the most successful when it comes […]

From the latest newspaper community-no-we’re-not-a-community-thing: Du har 20 MB utrymme till dina bilder, vilket motsvarar ungefär 200 bilder eller mer. Behöver du mer plats? Skicka ett betal-SMS (50 kr plus eventuell operatörsavgift) så får du ytterligare 20 MB. If you don’t understand Swedish, it says that you have to pay 50 SEK (?$7,3) to get 20 mb of storage for pictures. 50 SEK for 20 mb? Come on, this is 2007. It’s outrageous. tags technorati […]

Eco-friendly web design

I got the opportunity to meet Anssi Vanjoki at Nokia the other day. We discussed the mobile internet development, among other things. Many interesting ideas came up, I hope to be able to get back to that subject. But for now – as it’s Easter and all – I thought I’d leave you with an interesting nugget of information that I hadn’t heard before. Using white in web design may be good for many reasons, […]

I just had to comment

The young magazine prodigy Ebba von Sydow is leaving the print magazine to work with their website full time instead. Everyone seems to think that this means she got fired. Clearly print-people are setting the agenda here. It’s great that she’ll be working with the web, as it is a far superior medium for the target group. Getting fired for me, in 2007, would be being sent back to work for a print magazine. tags […]
