So during the last 2 weeks a lot has happened – there has been a reboot, a lot of socializing, getting to choose the right paper for printing my first book – but most important of all: there has been a launch party of the coworkingboatpan. It wasn’t a final launch – but it was a celebration of how much the co-founders (my husband, my brother and I) has gotten done on our inreallife – startup. Basically you could say that the launch party was from private to public beta -and now we only have to get the funding to have the engine running to actually have a fully functional yet ugly webapp coworkingboat.

here’s a video from a night filled with sparklies (champagne) pizza, boats, beach and fantastic people:

we still have a bunch of shares to sell off around 100 at 500 DKR a piece – we need to sell around 10 more this summer to get the engine working – so please contact me at henriette @ toothlesstiger . com and become a shareholder in the coolest – most action packed IRL startup around.

So this is to get the engine working – in the fall we will actually try and fund for a winterhood and for a paintremoving/ painting job.. so still lots to be done – internally as well as externally =)

btw that we are aiming for is a miniature version of Alastair Callender’s Soliloquy – the super green super yacht. We just want to make a super retro super green coworkingboat. the yacht comes later =)

Great article on the superyacht on coolhunting.com

Last week I came across an article on NY times called “The Day Facebook Changed: Messages to Become Public by Default” which basically means that the whole structure of facebook is changing as well. For me, as a social marketing rebel extraordinaire it means that you can actually start measuring statusmessages inside facebook as a part of your online reputation or as a part of measuring return on involvement. It basically makes my day easier in the end. The original release from facebook is here.

But what does it mean to the people on facebook – the ones that doesn’t have their statusmessages rss’ed in from twitter ? well with a development of the facebook API it could mean that your data will be displayed other places than on facebook, as you have with twitter and then some companies who shows a defined by hashtags twitter search on their own site. So in some ways facebook starts to resemble twitter a lot when it comes to the statusmessage part.

I am a facebook fangirl – and I think that this approach will open up the community more and have it become more transitional – meaning that facebook’ing doesn’t have to happen on facebook anymore, it could also happen on other people’s blog, facebook connect etc, facebook searches and hashtags (as with twitter). So is this the dawn of seeing facebook becoming more of an internet social infrastructure, than a community ? I can actually see it happen – it scares me a bit. Majorly because for a lot of people, their facebook is their online identity behind closed walls – now it’s going to be more like online identity in front of open windows.

Interesting move for sure.

So Reboot11 is over and I guess we’re all digesting the movements, thoughts, laughters, actions and most important to me – the old new. “old new” seems to collect everything I consist of these days. From my pledge to use old stuff for everything not to support mass production of clothes etc etc… to my work with Coworkingboatpan – an action packed shared economy project between people I love.

Reboot was fantastic as every year however the focus is being taken more and more away from the speakers and to the people instead – which is why i choose to go to reboot every year – because of the openess and the creativity from the other people there. NOT that the speakers don’t do a great job- but reboot is more than that.

On saturday I had a coworkingboat pan launch party (more on that later) – where it became obvious how many of the people I am calling “friends” these days where some that I have met at reboot – and in particular reboot7. Reboot7 changed my life. Reboot11 confirmed me in what I believe in most – and it gave me so many thoughts. It basically made me reboot my vision of action – which was the organizers goal.

You succeeded but you also did more than that – you made me jump and smile and laugh:

thanks =)
