Occasionally, you just stumble up on (no, no, not the community…) something fun you could use in your daily work. A college of mine, Russel, always made this nice clouds in presentations. So I asked what he used, and he told me he uses Wordle to create stuff. So I just tried it out on […]
Is really Oakland A’s gonna’ sign Rafael Furcal, well, every sign says so. But $48 millions, hey ya, it’s a lot of money. Anyway, if this really happens, and I would love to – think of the infield combo of Furcal and Mark Ellis! I just don’t want this to happen! Rafael Furcal Error Night […]
A music video has done something quite interesting I think, they have put 41 different ads in the video! So, how do we classify this? Is it user-generated, viral involuntary co-op branding? But it’s an interesting technique – commercials as a library for music video producers. Ooh, almost forgot – how many of the commercials […]
Steinar Nilsen, the former manager of Tromsø, signed a three-year contract with Brann today, starting January 1st 2009. Despite having pushed Tromsø to third-place in Tippeligaen 2008, I really don’t know. I’m hoping for the best, but I’m skeptical. Going abroad this time I think would be a good idea, why not trying something new […]
According to Market Tools two thirds of the adult population in the USA says that they use social media (blogs, online communities and social networks). Almost 20 percent sys the they use them on a daily basis and another 20 percent uses it at least once a week. One third says they never uses it. […]
As they say in the Facebook group: Like Youtube, only live – What happens when everyone is having a broadcasting bus in their pocket… I have done some testing of it, and when you use it from a business point of view, it’s some of the better things I’ve come across lately. Think about all […]
Just some ideas about it, since I have been working on this subject for the last couple of days with some of my customers. Here is some of my ideas: 1. Determining Your Information Sources. (You need something to write about and picking the right informational sources will make sure that your news blog is […]
I couldn’t help, I’ve found this article in todays Aftenposten where Orri Vigússon, an Icelandic entrepreneur and environmentalist and in this matter – the Chairman of the North Atlantic Salmon Fund. He’s making some points on the Norwegian way of doing politics, in this case fish… And guess what, it’s not very flattering, again the […]
Since the best band in rock’n roll is coming to Oslo december 14th, why not shop a clip from the forthcoming movie – Lemmy the Movie. It probably will be an uncritical yahoo, but who cares – it’s the most influential man in hard rock ever – long live Lemmy! So, here we go, the […]
The A’s are working to complete a trade with the Rockies that would bring Matt Holliday to Oakland. One of the sources said said reliever Huston Street, lefty starter Greg Smith and outfielder Carlos Gonzalez were among the players who had been discussed in recent days. Why, beats me since it’s only a one year […]
Moving is a heck… but at last I’m done! Used the weekend to drive 1100 kilometers, packing/unloading/packing/unloading, I’m very happy I’m done! Therefor, a new week – new possibilities!
Barack Obama, shattered more than 200 years of history Tuesday night by winning election as the first African-American president of the United States. Mr Obama received 349 electoral vote vs John McCains 159. A landslide if you ask, and in my mind, quite surprising. And my thoughts about this, well – Mr. Obama can not […]
I’m interested in finding out if the US will do something that wouldn’t happen in Norway in the next twenty years, choosing someone to office with a different background then tradition says… And if Mr. Obama will win, then I think the world will be very disappointed within the next six months – he’s voted […]
One of the so called marketing gurus, Mitch Joe, said at the Global Ecommerce Summit in Amsterdam that social media has changed the behavior on how to communicate with our customers. An example is when 40 % of American mums have their own space at MySpace, well, it’s time to think on how to market. […]
Barack Obama and John McCain uncorked massive get-out-the-vote operations in more than a dozen battleground states, millions of telephone calls, mailings and door-knockings in a frenzied, fitting climax to a record-shattering $1 billion campaign. Together, they’ll spend about $8 per presidential vote. I wonder how much money the Norwegian parties will spend of their campaigns […]
The Philadelphia Phillies just won World Series. If that sounds strange, it was strange. Nearly 50 hours after Game 5 started but was stopped by rain, Brad Lidge and the Phillies finished off the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 in a three-inning sprint Wednesday night and won the series 4-1. Left in limbo by a two-day […]
Norges Bank announced it was cutting another half-point off its key rate. That brings it down to 4.75 percent, and means that rates have dropped by a full point since earlier this month, the snow is falling and I won the bet on which day the first snow will fall, World Series is postponed because […]
Interesting information, in September 144 millions of all Internet users in the US stopped by one of Googles sites. That’s more than 75 %! Talk about monopoly and marketing possibilities! During September the amount of users we’re 189,5 millions. Not surprisingly Yahoo! and Microsoft are the number two and there. The source for this is […]
I have written a chronicle which is published today at Digi.no, read it and please send comments if you disagree, and absolutely if you do agree!
Another good idea on the importance on voting in the US presidential election. Since I’m not an American citizen I can’t, but still, it’s fun, intelligent and give some cold thoughts, remembering the race between President Bush and Al Gore. Vote
