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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]
