There has been a lot of discussions the last couple of days that Twitter is a trend, rapidly losing followers and users. VG wrote about it today here in Norway. To some point it might be so, but as has been said, the news is about the site itself, Twitter.com. Like me, I don’t hardly […]
Been a extremly busy week, with both TV performance (or, rather, the taping of it) at TVNorges Superquiz, still jumping around being unable to practise because of a sprained ancle to put it mildley… and working on some exciting projects, very often with Kristian Osestad. I’m still working on an article about PR and the […]
This is a concept which I’m deeply in love with. Put together a lot of creative minds, give them 24 hours to develop a Internetbased service which people can use, and commercialize it from there – then vote and cross your fingers that it actually works, there you have the whole idea. Check this little […]
For the first time in ten years, AIK, wins the Swedish league premier league Allsvenskan. My deepest congratulations and joy! One of my four favorite teams wins this year, the other ones are Oakland A’s, Brann and West Ham, so you could see why I’m happy! But, Allsvenskan, compared to Europe, is one of the […]

Dagbladet did today reach a new low! This frontpage; tells it all. They have made an excuse, but the harm is already done, The paper is still out there, and it looks like Dagbladet are doing anything to sell some more papers. There has been an outrage in Norway today and Twitter has been a […]
Today Jens Stoltenberg presented his new administration, his second administration, 10 women and 10 men. I mostly curios on two, Trond Giske becomes Minister of Trade and Industry and Kristin Halvorsen will be the Minister of Education and Research. They have a lot of challenges ahead, especially in those two areas and it will be […]
I attended a seminar earlier this morning where Thomas Moen and Ulrikke Lundwere two of the speakers. Thomas had a great presentation about the formalities and statistics about the phenomena rosa-blogging (for you non-Norwegians it’s the term for young females, in the age group between 13-20 blogging about fashion, makeup, clothes and other things regarding […]
And the discussion is hot here in Norway when Torbjørn Jagland announced President Obama as the winner. I just wonder, what on Earth are they thinking? And the most dubious thing, you have to put in the application for the prize February 1st, which means that President Obama had been in his position for 11 […]
I had the opportunity to be a member of the panel, discussing the pros and cons in social media. Other members of the panel was Ingeborg Vollan, Heidi Lundby, Gineline Kalleberg and Jørgen Helland. Nice output and good creative ideas about the use of social media in business.
It has become quite clear that the morons calling themselves supporters are more and more destroying the fun of watching football in Sweden. Last week the chairman of Hammarby (one of the big clubs in Stockholm) resigned because of death threats. I mean, what on earth are these people thinking about? How could you expect […]

Here a article I wrote for Hashtaggen.no about what to do when they write about your brand online, it’s in Norwegian: Vi kjenner jo alle til at det skrives om alt og neste alle hele tiden, særlig når det handler merkevarer, offentlige aksjeselskap osv. I fjor leste jeg denne artikkelen på Fresh Networks og de […]
Just now we had the Norwegian minister of Trade, Sylvia Brustad, over for lunch! The discussions was about the conditions for small companies like us at Confetti. A nice chat for an hour and a half!
Jarle Aabø wrote an article about a week ago, regarding the misuse of Twitter amongst Norwegian journalists. What happend, of course, he was hung by the lot…. But the thing about that is that they are absolutely right! Marius Eriksen, partner at Sermo wrote this in Kampanje. Besides what he is writing I would like […]
ØHIL Royals, the baseball team for Bærum, are in a 0-2 hole in the Norwegian championships against the defending champions Oslo Pretenders. A good video article from Budstikka tells you why:
Norway’s red-green government did win the elections on Monday, winning 86 seats to the oppositions 83 seats. Venstre fell out of the parliament and KrF, together with Senterpartiet stayed somewhere around the six present of votes. The results indicated Norway would continue to buck a trend that has seen center-right blocs take power in its […]
Valgpanelet has done a remarkable job on their site, following the election in digital media. Their conclusion is that Arbeiderpartiet has won it, and I completely disagree. The reason (is Norwegian) is: Den digitale vinneren av årets valgkamp er Rødt! På samme måte som dere kårer AP, så har Rødt gjennomført akkurat sin politiske kampanje […]
Just a thought, what is conservatism? I asked yesterday at Twitter and got several responses. But what struck me was more ideas about political parties, like Høyre and FrP than what it could be as an ideology. Could you say, today, that conservatism could stand for “you’re happy with what you got and don’t wanna’ […]
