Finland Becomes The World’s Best Internet Nation!

October 15, 2009

Suddenly my Twitscoop-window started screaming at me with two huge keywords: “Finland” and “Broadband”. What the… I thought and started investigating.

Will Speak For Money (and Occasionally for Love)

September 29, 2009

The way I see it, public speaking is not about conveying information – books and Google do that much better than I ever can. Instead, I set out to inspire. If I can, on a good day, inspire you out there to take even one action in a powerful direction, things can start to snowball in [...]

Do Dictatorships Use Social Media More Effectively Than Corporations?

September 24, 2009

I‘ve done quite a bit of thinking about how the social web will make the world a better place. I’ve written about it, and also lectured about the social web, good, and evil. So when a talk by Evgeny Morozov popped on TED on the topic of how the net aids dictatorships, I was naturally [...]

Understanding Web Copy and Why it Will Cost You Big Bucks!

September 21, 2009

It was more than eleven years ago that I started my academic career at the M.Sc.-program for media technology at Linköping Institute of Technology.

Lowe Brindfors Copy the Forsman & Bodenfors SEO Mistakes

September 15, 2009

Last week I wrote about how Forsman & Bodenfors don’t understand how the internet works.

I’m talking about the brand new website of [...]

The Hang Glider Theory – How to Survive Disgusting Domino’s Pizza Clips and More.

September 7, 2009

I love to theorize about social behavior and how it relates to our behavior on the internet. But sometimes I get the urge to be just a little more practical about things. How can we actually use all this theory? Before we dig into what I call The Hang Glider Theory, let’s gossip a little. [...]

Q&A From The BBH Labs Post on Honesty

September 4, 2009

Yesterday, BBH Labs wrote an interesting post commenting on some of my thoughts on internet transparency and gossip. The post itself, as well as the comments, are well worth a read.

“The School Web is Not Primarily a Matter of Communication…”

September 3, 2009

Thanks to all for your interest in yesterday’s post about Forsman & Bodenfors, Svenska Kyrkan, and Google. It led to many interesting conversations both in the comments of the post, on Twitter in my email inbox, on Facebook, and over the phone. Wasn’t quite prepared for that kind of response. So, thanks! Today I want [...]
