My new whitelisting at Google Friend Connect is going to keep me up all night. So far I’m very excited about this, as I can see entirely new openings for social networking arise. I’ll get back to you soon with updates and reviews. This looks cool!

I Love You Johnny Lee. For Making Me Believe.

November 17, 2008

I thought for a while about where to post this post because it’s really as personal as it is professional, but eventually I decided to post it here instead of on my personal blog. It is a post about inspiration. I’m going to show you a film clip here that is not exactly new (or, [...]

When You Get $40,000 Image Quality For $500, The Singularity is Near

November 17, 2008

The prosumer revolution is no joke. And it has been brought about by different factors. One, obviously, is the ease of publishing and distribution along with its the radical drop in cost. Another is the set of psychological incentives activated by social media. And yet another is the dramatic democratization of production equipment, which is [...]

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 [...]

If Tony Robbins Was A Planner

October 23, 2008

Some things are just so basic. So obvious. And yet, we sometimes seem to forget about them. In the world of advertising we are often up to our ears in cool designers, focus groups, and media choices that we forget the most basic aspect – human psychology. What makes us do what we do? I [...]

YouTube Just Got Better

October 13, 2008

I’ve been talking about a feature for YouTube that I’ve been missing for quite some time now, and finally it’s here. The feature is the ability to link to a certain time in a YouTube-clip when embedding it. It came to a point for me when I even considered doing something about it myself, but [...]

In an outburst of anxiety of having too much to do I recently turned to productivity guru David Allen for help. His GTD-methodology has actually boosted my productivity more than I ever could have expected, has has freed up time and made me more creative at the same time. And I love him for it.Anyway, [...]

Sayonara Sweden

September 8, 2008

Realizing how most Swedish advertising blogs say the same thing, the weekend was spent on a blog-safari abroad. Especially in the technology and social media spheres. Sayonara Sweden – this weekend was the most interesting in a long time. We know SO much about our own navel in our little advertising pond, maybe it’s time [...]

Into The Chrome

September 2, 2008

Monopoly-fear or not, I’m a huge fan of Google’s products. And I’ve been waiting for their new web browser for a while. Now it’s here. It’s called Chrome, and from what I’ve seen, it’s awesome. It pinpoints the one big issue that I have with Firefox – performance. To me, performance is key, since I’m [...]

Chief Innovation Officer Anna Sävenstedt To Aftonbladet

August 19, 2008

Organization of creativity and innovation is one of my favorite topics. I haven’t written about it much here, but I actually wrote my masters thesis on the subject for my M.Sc. in Media Technology back in 2003. More advanced organizational principles and technological aids for innovation are rare in the media industry, at least in [...]

Passwords, pass-pics and pass-songs. Could this be made into a campaign?

August 12, 2008

We all hate memorizing passwords. I do too. Computer Security was one of the last advanced courses I took before getting my media technology M.Sc., and still, I’m as bad as anyone at maintaining good password security routines. It’s just a pain. Enter ObPwd, another achronym representing “Object-Based Passwords”. What if a song, a picture [...]

Digital Design Is Still a Child

August 7, 2008

Humanity has been pretty good at graphic design for quite some time now (though we may have called it something else early on). The same goes for packaging design. Sure there have been plenty of innovations along the way such as the printing press, photography and modern day packaging technology, but still. I guess you [...]

Technology Clowning

June 23, 2008

There was A LOT of talk about technology at Cannes this year. A lot of talk about social networks. And mobile. I think there is much confusion about technology. Being an old media technology engineer, I guess I should embrace and defend technology, but even though I love technology, I don’t view it as an [...]

Ketchup Just Is

June 11, 2008

I put some thought today into what digital communication and “the web” really is. And I’m certain about one thing. It’s not a technology. It’s is less so for each day. When the first car was just a prototype in the lab, it was all technology. Today it’s a lifestyle accessoary. When the computer was [...]

Winning

May 28, 2008

“Winning” is a concept that fascinates us humans. Especially men seem to be fascinated by it, and have been since we were still just mamals butting heads. But there are really three types of winning. The first type is when you compete with your friends, family, spouse, girl-/boyfriend, or even kids. Not a very rewarding [...]

Just Imagine How Fast A Computer COULD feel

May 21, 2008

Oh – by the way. At the lecture I mentioned a test where a 20 year old Mac beat a brand new PC in doing the most common tasks. Here is the article. Amazing.

Firefox 3

May 19, 2008

If you’re not running the new Firefox 3 browser yet, you should. It’s blazingly fast, and speed has been my primary concern with every browser I’ve tried. I love it. It’s still has release candidate mode, but seems stable.

Some Fresh Air Into The Stale World of Internet Advertising

May 12, 2008

It feels like the advertising industry is lagging behind when it comes to the Internet. When looking around I get the feeling that campaigns winning prizes and fame have all been done before, and that the core idea has been around for years and years. I don’t know why. Perhaps the jury people don’t know [...]

Brand Attraction

May 5, 2008

Why am I so obsessed with this business of brands and communication? And exactly what is it that I’m doing? I’ve put a lot of thought into it, and I think I’ve figured it out. I’m in the business of Brand Attraction. When I think about it, that’s really what it boils down to. So [...]

SBT – State Based Targeting

April 13, 2008

What is television? Really? Moving images? Is is broadcast infrastructure? I ask the question because the television broadcasters need to ask themselves just that question. What are they going to do in the future? What is the core of their business that they’re going to stick by when technology and behaviour changes? I ask the [...]
