Despite the fact that the Norwegian government won’t appose the verdict in the European Court of Human Rights, regarding the political ads on TV, the minister of Culture, Trond Giske still says no! They are supposed to allow the smaller parties and I really don’t know how they can explain this – for real. You […]
I’m quite convinced that the seminar on Friday will be a success. We have started a group under the INMA-name, which will focus on social media as a profession and how to use it. As far as I know there will be a ton of people, both participating and watching, at location and live. Thomas […]
Twitter’s the subject of a lot of debate at the moment and a lot of coverage in the media and press. Twitter is growing fast and as it does so it is changing and evolving to follow its users needs. I truly believe that Twitter is growing and that 2009 will see it evolve beyond […]
Thought I post something that I twittered (can you say that??) last week, it looks a bit corny but anyway. And I do feel that Pascal has a point! Oh, almost forgot, Kuttisme had a really good article today about the use of Twitter in marketing. Read it!
I saw this commercial somewhere and thought it had a great message for all brands to hear. It’s about how all of the employees are passionate about beer and that everyone learns how to brew beer, no matter what their position in the company. We always talk about the importance of putting your employees first […]
Friday the 13th March (yeh, I know…), INMA together with us at Confetti and Dagbladet will invite to a huge seminar about the use of social media in politics. One of the new and exciting politicians, Hadia Tajik from Arbeiderpartiet, will tell us some of her experience in her campaign at YouTube. The list of […]

The Swedish government is aiming its cannons at The Pirate Bay, but the torrent site’s administrators say that they don’t plan to abandon ship. The charges filed yesterday against The Pirate Bay by Swedish prosecutor Håkan Roswall (you can here it live at SVT and follow it at Twitter) allege that four of the torrent […]
The use of Twitter here in Norway has exploded the last couple of months. The real value of Twitter is both in acting as a central portal to bring together and point to all social media activity, and also a true engagement tool! In fact, when brands use Twitter and in Norway are we so […]
Data released today from Compete.com supports what will not be a surprise to most. Facebook is the most visited social network, with nearly 1.2 billion visits in January 2009. This also represents significant growth, with visits to Facebook up 36% on December, and 256% over the previous twelve months. MySpace slipped into second place at […]
I’m at the INMA conference in Berlin, discussing and learning about more of all possibilities in digital media. The program is really good and the day has been a pleasure so far. Good speakers, good interaction and a lot of debates. I presume the evening will continue in the same way. Tomorrow, it’s time for […]
In the 2008 Consumer Report from Razorfish (yes, they are still out there!) shows that 40% of online consumers have made a decision based on an advertisement they saw on social media sites and that three-quarters welcome brand advertising in these spaces. So consumers are, it would appear from this research, comfortable with brands being […]
I’m so happy, trying to develop a new blog/website for Confetti. I’m still in the beta phase, but I’m kinda getting it – and for me, not a codebreaker, it’s thrill. And I just have to say – it’s fun working in WordPress!

I have written some stuff about the role social media played in Obama’s campaign in the US. Politicians can make great use of social media and online communities to engage with the public. One real benefit of engaging people in this way is that you can focus people round a specific topic or issue, a […]
Hustler publisher Larry Flynt and Girls Gone Wild CEO Joe Francis is asking Congress for $5 billion for a bailout of the adult entertainment industry. The industry is relatively small, fragmented, and unaccustomed to outside investment, the U.S. porn industry is somewhat buffered from today’s credit crunch, but it is not without problems. Video sales […]

Coca-Cola Co and PepsiCo Inc said they received US regulatory clearance for natural, calorie-free sweeteners derived from the stevia plant and planned to launch new soft drinks in the coming weeks. Both Pepsi and Coca Cola makers have long searched for a natural alternative to chemical sweeteners such as Equal, Sweet’N Low and Splenda to […]
I wrote about this at Confettis blog, but I thought it had some points I would like to share. In Norway we have a list from TNS/Metrix, measuring the traffic on Norwegian websites. But, you have to pay for it – to become a part of this statistics. That’s why, for example, Google.no isn’t on […]
