Henriette Weber

I am searching for amateur photographers for a couple of freelance jobs. Especially in Denmark ( but also in the rest of the world) for my new project.

on top of your excellent photography skills – you must be able to approach people.

enough said…

if you are interested or you know somebody who might be interested contact me at henrietteATtoothlesstiger.net

the night before I went on my holiday to Apenrade ( Aabenraa) and Glücksburg there was a dinner taking place in central Copenhagen, famously known as the “tøseblogger dinner”.

so here’s is a referendum of the evening.

Henriette had brought blocks so we could write down when we came up with some excellent ideas. I found my piece of paper in Luella ( my handbag) and this is what it states

new names for tøseblogger
xxblogger
bloggie
blogine
bloggerdinner – kun for kvinder

There were 3 people in a crowd of 8 called “Henriette”.. first and last time that will ever happen to me I bet. we had a wide discussion about the tøseblogger phenomenon in Denmark and how we can approach all women who blogs about their lifes in a way that doesn’t offend them.

hey what about “mediagirls” ? is that too undanish ?

so more is coming up ladies and gents, and yes, we will still use a wiki, and yes we will still open up our thoughts… for better or worse…

ohh and my vacation was great… glücksburg is full of old people and hotels where you can get champagne and strawberries..*s*

So on the night of the champions league grand finale between “Arsenal” and “Barcelona”.
I am allready partly in favour of Arsenal because they have Thierry Henry – and well, I like his “Henry” shirts ( being called “Henry” myself every now and then).

I allready proved my footie expert knowledge by asking my beau about what team the goalkeeper of Arsenal is playing on ( well I did a mixture of the world cup and champions league).

Well world cup is mostly my cup of tea, national teams with people from the different nations playing each team, etc etc – you know the works. but champions league ? Arsenal is an english club but at a certain point of the match they had more espanöls on the field then the spanish club “Barcelona”… so isn’t champions league a league of their own with whoever can afford the best players and best team…? how do you choose what club to support ? hardly because of homestead ? or am i missing something?

Sille and I that is.. read on in danish here

got home from the tøsebloggerdinner ( which was might giving and the discussions were great !) and saw this on Langemarks blog

ALaa – a fellow blogger and Drupal contributor was arrested in Egypt a few days ago for being in a demonstration on democracy. So what can you do ?

googlebomb the egyptian government with the word egypt?
Sign a petition?
Write a blogpost?

Please ? help ?

Also, I am going on a long vacation for ten days, and I have promised myself to keep away from the blog and the computer – so see you around in a while!

Im outraged. Im seriously thinking about moving to another country! . The danish government and Danmarks Radio has made a “new media license” where you have to pay a license around 2000 DKR yearly ( or about 180 pounds ) to have a computer or an ipod or a cellphone – or other devices that can receive images. basically if it can connect to the internet; you pay!

Still if you have a TV it’s only a small addition. but isn’t this monopolising the internet at it’s worst ?

But wait : in addition Danmarks Radio is going to deliver public services on all platforms. yey hooray!
this will give DR a revenue of 400 million DKR but as the danish “culture” minister Brian Mikkelsen states: ” it has to be used for digitalisation, public service fonds and new programs”.

wow I must say, I am genuinely thrilled.

it seems like the companies and mediastations are starting to cross the lines of bloggers. or blogging as a whole. I have been very sceptic about this development – especially because my own “thin red line” between exploitation and genuine interest is really in a limited space.

Companies has to convince me of their interest in blogging as a whole. If they approach me with the often seen nowadays ” oHH My GAAWD, blogging is such a cool marketing tool – lets make some money – and ride the web 2.0 wave” I get really sick.

Im not talking about marketing or commercialism, I am talking about motives. Motives to blog, to sell, to market, to be in this world. If you’re motives are wrong – why are you blogging ? why are you opening up your company to portrait what you want people to see ?

When these companies tries to grasp the “new media revolution thingy” by making conferences about it and showing externally that they really get it. often, they don’t.

according to Suw Charman – the “We The Media”
conference in London was based on wrong motives.

sure blogging is

1. cool
2. innovative
3. dialogue
4. etc etc – you know the works

but using it to portrait yourself as a innovative new media company and then fail to pull through is simply sad.

I have been thinking a lot about the agile software development, the agile projectleading development and the pinko marketing movement lately.

As the head of a community making company, I think it is essential that you put these different terms in your vocabulary because they are here to stay.

Agile is the way I am doing my projects. just bit by bit. But they are always starting with action, no structure or strategy – I add that later.

Actions first please. Add modules, stir it up with simplicity, thank you.

make the users interact, put the right responsibilities and questions out there. make them feel appraised…. that’s the recipe for today..
