Et lite stykke fremtidsfjernsyn fra NRK →
Teknologien som NRK har tatt i bruk kalles P2P (Peer to peer / likemann til likemann) eller BitTorrent, og er nok mest kjent som de illegale fildelernes foretrukne distribusjonsform. Pga nettopp den illegale bruken har BitTorrent fått et ufortjent dårlig rykte i massemedia, og dermed også blant den gemene hop. Men teknologien har like lite med pirater og illegal virksomhet, som balaklava og BMW...

I just finished up the Webinar with Jeremiah. We had several hundred people on the line and received dozens of spot-on questions. We will be posting information on that shortly, including a copy of the presentation. In the meantime, we also conducted a few polls during the event, and here is some data: In one we found that 48% of attendees’ companies are using some sort of social media to...
I really like the www.on24.com services.
Jeremiah Owyang on at webinar now. He’s talking about measuring social media. Interesting.
At the Social Media webinar. looking forward to it. Glenn Fannick of Dow Jones speaking at the moment.
2008: The Year For Twitter →
There has been a bunch of conversation about using Twitter as a serious tool for communication. Josh Catone performs a relatively thorough analysis of the pros and cons of using Twitter as a platform for discourse and discussion. Twitter has definitely been rising in popularity and just in the past few days I have seen a drastic increase in my Twitter followers. I now keep my Twhirl application...
The personal platform →
It’s a huge stretch to think about society, and about business, from the perspective of the independently empowered individual. In business, and even in government, we are so accustomed to thinking about people as dependents, and to seeing their abilities in terms of what we as institutions allow, that it’s difficult to switch our perspective around — and think about companies, and organizations,...

Twitter is going down…then up…then down… What’s up? Be stable or be gone. People are lacking patience.

For 2007, our Best Web LittleCo was Twitter, the microblogging/status application that captured the collective attention of Silicon Valley at SXSW last winter and has been on a meteoric rise ever since. We picked Twitter because it “has captured the imagination and become a new hybrid of chat, social networking and blogging.” But, unlike 2006’s Best LittleCo YouTube, which has...

Tribe Management →
Brand management is so 1999. Brand management was top down, internally focused, political and money based. It involved an MBA managing the brand, the ads, the shelf space, etc. The MBA argued with product development and manufacturing to get decent stuff, and with the CFO to get more cash to spend on ads. Tribe management is a whole different way of looking at the world. It starts with permission,...

Trenger vi internettsensur? →
De siste dagene har vi sett en voldsom debatt i media om hvem som har ansvaret for innhold i kommentarer på nettavisene. Dette kommer i kjølvannet av at rykter om tidligere Start-trener Stig Inge Bjørnebye ble lagt ut på debattforumet til Fædrelandsvennen. Bjørnebye klaget Agderposten inn for Pressens Faglige Utvalg (PFU) etter at avisen gjenga innleggene på redaksjonell nettplass, og i går fikk...

Censorship as protection? →
In Norway, we’ve had a massive debate over the last couple of days about who’s responsible for the content published in the comments following stories in online media. I won’t bother you with links, since they’re mostly in Norwegian, but the short version is as follows: On the web site of Norwegian daily Agderposten’s discussion forum, rumors of highly sexual nature about soccer player and...

Lokal- og regionavisen står sterkt som ytringskanal i det norske mediepublikums bevissthet, viser en undersøkelse Vox Publica har fått utført i samarbeid med Ukebrevet Mandag Morgen og Nobels Fredssenter. I den yngste aldersgruppen, 18-29 år, har imidlertid nettavisen passert lokal- og regionavisen som det viktigste forum å ytre seg i.
I befolkningen som helhet sier 55 prosent at de foretrekker å...

Twitter Packs- a Way to Share Interests →
Twitter is quite a strange beast to understand, but it’s easier if you follow a few people who immediately make sense to you, insofar as your shared interests or geography. To that end, I started a project this morning and immediately turned it over to the universe to build and maintain, called Twitter Packs.
The premise is simple: list areas of interest or locales, and self-select people you...

It’s easy to get the tools mixed up, but it’s important to know the differences. Quite often (usually by executives) I’m asked the difference between Forums, Blogs, and Social Networks, here’s usually how I explain it (focusing first on usage and benefits rather than technical details):
Forums are like social mixers, where everyone is at equal level, milling about and discussing with others....

Never one to rest on their laurels, Google Operating System alerts us to some changes Google has made to their popular RSS app, Google Reader.
The time stamp you’ve always seen in the reader is the time that Google indexed the article, not the time it was published. Going by how long it sometimes takes my posts to show up between the time I write them, and I see them in Reader, it can take...

Jeg fant ut at jeg hadde 4,5 Gb med informasjon i min Outlook. Det er sikkert litt i overkant av gjennomsnittet, men de fleste har mye mail og mange kontakter å holde styr på. Det kan være litt av en utfordring å finne det du skal raskt når du har 22.500 mail å lete gjennom. Jeg har funnet svaret - Xobni.

It’s one thing to come up with a Social Media Release template and offer it up to the community for free. It’s quite another to spend hundreds of hours researching, writing, editing and agonizing over a polished work of intellectual property – and then give it away.
There are benefits to this, of course: it boosts one’s reputation, SEO, etc., which can lead to more lucrative business...
The languages we speak →
Yesterday, I flew home to Norway from Hurghada in Egypt. In a smoky and packed cafeteria, we managed to land four chairs at the end of a table that was already occupied by two Russian fellows. Neither spoke much English, and my Russian is pretty much limited to the national alcoholic beverage from the gigantic country.
In any case, we managed to communicate. One was a policeman in Moscow, the...
9 Benefits of Twitter for Bloggers →
I was a little slow getting onto Twitter last year (when so many other bloggers embraced it). To be honest I didn’t think it had much to offer me - I’m beginning to see how wrong I was.
In this post I want to explore how I’m using Twitter to:
improve the quality of my blogs
network with other bloggers
widen my readership
grow my profile
drive traffic to my blogs
Before I get into some...
