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 [...]

That way every service or application could fetch your info (upon getting permission from you), and apply that within the application. This could be your mobile phone, your IM-client of choice, your “email-client” (which wouldn’t have [...]

A Couple of Thoughts On 2008

January 3, 2008

So… it’s 2008. Is this the year when everything changes? Well – I guess we say that every year, but this time I really think a lot of stuff can go down. For example, we’ve only seen the beginning of social networks in my opinion. They’re still very young. You can tell from the quality [...]
