Is Spotify the Darth Vader of Music?

September 8, 2009

As Spotify launched their iPhone app, the crowd cheered. The talented SEO-expert (and comedian) Simon Sundén publishes the follwing graph of Spotify Premium sales that went viral amongst us nerds. Half us us thought is was true, and who knows, it may be. But even if this graphic joke isn’t true, it illustrates something quiet [...]

Dear Spotify, Walter Loves Music Too, But Would Also Love To SHARE Music.

December 29, 2008

I’ve given some thought to Spotify over the past few days, and here are some of my thoughts. Perhaps I’m wrong and Spotify has gone social after all. But not in the spheres where I move and socialize. And I have tried to spark some collaboration and social behavior without success. These thoughts build upon [...]

MySpace 2.0 Launched

November 10, 2008

A while back I wrote about MySpace on my other blog (which has been asleep for some time now while I’ve been busy with this one). Last night MySpace launched it’s 2.0 version, and that is of course big news for the world of social media. I haven’t played around with it much yet, but [...]

Television Is Dead

October 25, 2008

Well – not really, but at least it’s not as live and kickin’ as it claims. Here is why: During my years as a television analyst, there was something that always bothered me. It seemed to me that a lot of young people around me moved away from television in favor of conversational media like [...]

Spotify Launches And MySpace Counters

October 9, 2008

Interesting. Spotify launched a couple of days ago, and I just got this in my Facebook-feed a couple of minutes ago:“Joakim Friedman is Spotify har inte AC/DC. Lyssna istället på www.myspace.com/acdc”.Loosely translated: “Spotify doesn’t have AC/DC. Listen to www.myspace.com/acdc instead”. (J works for MySpace).Go back and read what I wrote in the post before this [...]

The Social Media Wars Continue. Will MySpace Rise To Power Once Again?

October 7, 2008

There has been a lot of talk about MySpace lately. Remember MySpace? (It’s that social media place which always looked like crap because you had too much say about it’s design and too few tools to do it well). Anyway, I read about it again in Fast Company, and I get the feeling that this [...]

Cannes 2008 Day 2: Breakfast & Schedule

June 16, 2008

Breakfast in the sun by the sea. Next stop: The Festival Palace. At the palace we’re watching some some film right now. Mixed highs and lows. In 20 minutes we’ll check out some digital workshops by Wunderman and MySpace and later a seminar by Ogilvy. Stay tuned and I’ll be back with my reviews of [...]

Google Friend Connect launched. Analysis coming soon.

May 13, 2008

Google finally released Friend Connect, and are bringing things closer to “Internet as a platform”. I haven’t had time to really dive into it, but I promise to do so shortly and come back with my analysis. It feels like the war is on for real between Google, Facebook and MySpace now, and this could [...]

Social Vibe

May 5, 2008

Social Vibe is a concept that interests me. Bloggers, site owners or regular Facebookers or MySpacers can choose a brand to endorse their site and help a charity while they’re at it. I choose Volcom and the Surfrider Foundation (who fight to save our oceans). This is my endorsement (which I’ll also put up in [...]

31 Pics Under The Covers of Stockholm Fashion Week

February 1, 2008

So. Thursday. For me Thursday was the last real day of Fashion Week. I decided to spend friday night drinking tea, reading books and doing some writing – which is, as a matter of fact, exactly what I’m doing right now. Thursday was kicked off by meeting up with a couple of Sweden’s top fashion [...]

Stories from LA-LA-Land.

January 31, 2008

Some new shots from the WeSC-shoot in Los Angeles just came in. I tried to keep one eye closed at all times. That’s the “reality”-eye. My “fantasy”-eye was opened the whole time. All these people are just super amazing. Tigra (from L’Trim, remember?) is cooler than all of us together. And this is the fantastic [...]

Marketing Description Language

November 5, 2007

By the way – jag sa väl att MySpace HAR tagit till sig OpenSocial? (Och även Engage.com, Friendster, hi5, Hyves, imeem, LinkedIn, Ning, Oracle, orkut, Plaxo, Salesforce.com, Six Apart, Tianji, Viadeo, and XING.) För övrigt beskriver Zeus Jones OpenSocial som ett Marketing Description Language. Om det var någon som undrade varför jag tjatar så mycket [...]

Daytona, Johan Ronnestam och kriget om den sociala grafen

November 5, 2007

Sitter och bläddrar lite bland olika människors anteckningar från Daytona Sessions och fastnar en stund i Disruptive’s anteckningar om Johan Ronnestam från Foreign. I synnerhet fastnar jag för en Alexasökning som nämns. Jag gör en liten egen variant där jag jämför räckvidden för Facebook.com, CNN.com, MSN.com och MySpace.com. (Idag gick det av någon anledning inte [...]

Hörni’ flashtöntar! Skärp er!

September 3, 2007

Att ha en flashig flashsajt är hopplöst töntigt, att ha en umärkt blogg som till exempel Åkestam Holst känns betygligt trevligare. Men känns inte det lite last season också då kanske? Här är några alternativ: Alternativ 1, Whitespacing:Eller White Labeling, som är den korrekta termen, kanske kan vara något för just dig?Vore det inte tufft [...]

Är det bye bye Facebook nu?

August 18, 2007

Ni vet hur det var. Vi satt alla där med MySpace och tyckte vi var kungar och drottningar av det sociala nätverkandet. Sen kom Facebook och förstörde alltsammans. Mini feeds och news feeds var bara för mycket för MySpace att konkurrera med. För att inte tala om den lilla statusnotifikationen (Johan is pilling his navel), [...]

Let’s go surfing now!

August 4, 2007

Så. Nu har det gått länge nog utan någon större aktivitet på bloggen. Man märker i bloggosfären att folk börjar komma tillbaka till semestrarna nu. Dag för mig att hoppa på tåget. I’m back. Och vi börjar med det här fenomenet:När vi går ner på stan är det rätt trevligt att släntra in på ett [...]

Dåså. Så var man stor nog att flytta sin blogg från MySpace (myspace.com/walternaeslund) till Blogger. Det är nog för att jag lämnat Berghs. Blir man vuxen då? Som premiär tänkte jag fresta med ett experiment:Gå ut i köket och häll upp ett glas vatten. Kom igen. Jag väntar……Så. Nu får du vara klar. Är du [...]
