A lot of Bonnier in this blog to start off with, but being the size they are it’s difficult to avoid (or I’m just sucking up to them as this Bonnier-owned magazine implied :). Bonnier Newspapers have invested in HemOnline, a project that lets home-owners sell their house or apartment cheaper than using regular estate agents. The catch is that they have to take care of the viewings themselves. Johan Larsson at Internetworld implies that […]
I’m re-reading Netocracy by Alexander Bard and Jan Söderqvist, a Swedish book that was slightly before its time when it was first released in 2000 (English in 2002). I will probably be referring to this book quite a lot in the next few posts as I think it’s more relevant now than ever. It’s not news in any way, but I aim to use this blog as some sort of mental notebook in order to […]
I’m trying to catch up on some reading and found an interesting post by Ross Mayfield: The problem is there are too many companies being created that have no aspirations to be companies. Most survey the feature portfolio of tier 1 and tier 2 acquirers and are precision guided towards flipping within 18 months. Many make no attempt at generating revenue and most that do generate revenue from the advertising of other startups, let alone […]
After hearing JP Rangaswami talk at Reboot in June I knew straight away that I had to start reading his blog regularly. Although mentally exhausting at times (in a good way that is!) I keep coming back and I keep being fascinated by the clarity that he manages to pass on to the reader. And this even though the level of abstraction is high. I strongly recommend anyone interested in the way the internet is […]
I’m trying to create a few new habits for myself regarding health and learning. One of them is taking a morning walk before work and listening to a few interesting podcasts while I do it. I started off with the two latest TEDTalks, Jimmy Wales from Wikipedia and Richard Baraniuk from Rice University. Of the two, the latter was the most interesting. Baraniuk described his knowledge sharing project Connexions which is an interesting idea in […]
After some turbulence within Bonnier concerning CEOs and chairmen of the board, the Swedish tabloid Expressen today announced Thorbjörn Larssons successor. Jonas Bonnier, most known from his years at Bonnier Magazines, will take over the chairmanship. As news in itself it’s not up to much. But it is a clear signal that the inevitable power shift within Bonnier is about to happen. Bengt Braun out, Jonas Bonnier in. About time too. One of the key […]
Last Friday was the official re-launch of Citykollen.se, the social calendar that we built for Stockholm City. It’s still a bit shaky in places (a Beta!) but a thousand times better than last time. We got a lot of criticism last time concerning both the technical structure and launching such an un-finished site. Some of it was fair and square (and helped us a lot), some wasn’t really applicable in the real world of client […]
A short note just to mention that my article about social media was published today. Swedish only I’m afraid. technorati tags: media Andra bloggar om: media
I’ll have to return to the subject of Citykollen.se tomorrow. Sweden’s largest daily newspaper, DN, got their new Editor in Chief today – Thorbjörn Larsson. For those of you not to familiar with Swedish media it is suffice to say that he is a giant in the business. He was onboard ship when Aftonbladet passed Expressen as the most popular tabloid and is a member of the board of many large media companies. Those of […]
We rolled out our second Good Old blog the other day. It will be written by our programmer Hugo Wetterberg who seems to have fallen in love with the Dojo. Fine by me – Dojo and I don’t really understand each other as well as I might have hoped, but we get along well. Citykollen.se is the first project that we’ve used it for. It is a social calendar for Stockholm, made for the free […]
