Wave for iPhone and Chrome for OSX Awakens My Engineering Heart

November 5, 2009

I love technology, and can’t help myself when it comes to trying out new services and dissecting new gear into the tiniest spec-sheet detail.  Most of the time I do  this only out of love for technology. Trying out a super unstable alpha or beta of a new service or app is for example usually [...]

First look at Google Chrome for OSX

October 28, 2009

I‘ve been trying out an early developers version of Chrome for OSX for a couple of days, and I must say it’s very impressive. In terms of sheer speed and user experience it’s the best browser I’ve tried on the Mac. If only I get some of my favorite add-ons (TreeStyleTabs and ScribeFire specifically), this [...]

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. Since it’s one of my favorite topics, I naturally wanted in on the discussion myself, but as I started writing a comment on their [...]

Social Web Camp vs. Bring Dialogue Conference ’09. Waking Up to a Different Reality.

August 24, 2009

Contrasts are what make life interesting. Yesterday I woke up here: …from the sound of sheep walking around outside my tent. Today I woke up and threw myself into a cab to Arlanda to fly off to Oslo and Strömstad for the Bring Dialogue Conference ’09. When I got here I realized I’d be staying [...]

Planner Must Read: Were You, Are You, or Will You Be?

July 9, 2009

Cover via Amazon With his new book called The Time Paradox, social psychologist Dr Philip Zimbardo lays out behavioral patterns of past-, present-, and future oriented personality types. It’s an incredibly simple, yet insightful theory he puts forth, and one which really highlights the weaknesses of our ordinary demographic segmentation of target groups. I would [...]

The Most Dangerous Politician in The United States?

June 22, 2009

One of the most dangerous politicians in the United States – that’s what CNET calls Obama’s Vice President Joe Biden. What they are talking about is Biden’s relentless attacks on internet liberty, and the threat that he thereby poses to the evolution of technology. Now that the dust has settled and we have sobered up [...]

3 Steps To The Perfect Powernap

April 21, 2009

Every now and then I like to do a rerun on my most popular post ever – The Power Nap School. I promise you, taking that 15 minute nap in the afternoon will transform you life. It makes you more creative, more energetic, and allows for fewer hours sleep at night. For me, around 6 [...]

A Guilty Pirate Bay Verdict Will Make us Look Like Idiots in The History Books

April 17, 2009

In about an hour we will know the verdict in the Pirate Bay-trials. Let’s hope that people are being smart about this. Because a guilty verdict would not be good for anyone. Especially not for art and artists. A guilty verdict would do little to boost sales. I believe we’ll see the opposite result. Darknets [...]

Is IR The Killer Marketing App of Social Media?

December 26, 2008

Ok. Granted, I keep pushing all these “killer apps”. Last time it was honesty, this time internal relations (IR). But I really think this is worth looking into. And honesty has a great deal to do with it. A while back I wrote about how the breakdown of privacy leads to a better society and, [...]

This is the second part of my idea sketch on privacy and integrity. The first part can be found here. There is also an interesting comment on that post by Michael Dahlén where he talks about information symmetry, a theme that I’ll adress later in this post. In this second part I will show you [...]

Death of Privacy For Brands

November 12, 2008

In the last post I asked the question whether the death of privacy will improve the quality of behavior in our society. I guess this is a bit controversial. But you can see the exact same thing for brands. And here is not very controversial at all. The privacy of brands is under heavy fire [...]

Will The Death of Privacy Make The World A Better Place?

November 12, 2008

Some things in life are just taken for granted and are rarely questioned. Privacy is one of those things. It’s implicitly agreed upon by everybody that privacy is a good thing, and that maintaining personal integrity is one of the major challenges of web 2.0. I would like to question this. Let’s go back to [...]

Using Facebook on iPhone Gives You a Glimpse of The Future

July 11, 2008

If you are a loyal reader of this blog, you might remember the “Open Social”-period, when I wrote a lot about what happens after Facebook. Especially, I had one post called “Open Permissions The Killer App of 2008″ where I talked about how contacts would be handled in a perfect world. I think Facebook are [...]

Facebook on The Defensive

May 18, 2008

Seems like the Facebook vs. Google-battle is heating up. Facebook just suspended participation in Google’s Friend Connect program giving the following explanation: “We’ve found that it redistributes user information from Facebook to other developers without users’ knowledge, which doesn’t respect the privacy standards our users have come to expect and is a violation of our [...]

Power Napping For The People

April 9, 2008

Tomorrow IKEA will open a power napping hotel in Gallerian downtown Stockholm. It’s free and all you need is 15 minutes and a little technique. I’m thinking this might be a good time to reprise my power napping school a few posts back, so that you won’t have to buy one of these. Here we [...]

Design Clichés of Web 2.0

March 26, 2008

Not to long ago my favorite agency Zeus Jones put up a good post on the design clichés of web 2.0. Now that we’re on the topic, I thought I should bring it up. The slide below from Zeus Jones says it all. Or to quote Adrian, “Of course you wouldn’t knowingly give up all [...]

The Power of Fifteen!

February 7, 2008

I wouldn’t proclaim myself “King” of power naps, but perhaps “Prince” or “Duke. Anyway, I’m pretty good at it. This article (in Swedish) talks about the launch of a new “awake”-pill to “cure” tiredness. Isn’t this so typically noughties (’00)? Pills, not therapy or coaching, against depression. Pills against being tired, not rest. In my [...]
