The social network on steroids – my first thoughts on Google +

One of the things about the internet that I truly love is the fact that what one day is super hot and where people hang, is not necessarily the same scenario the day after. People are like nomads and trying out more and more services and abandoning old ones. Ah, the smell of the change […]

The exclusive web, the influencers and the exclusive startups

For the last couple of months is seems like the web is turning more exclusive and I don’t know what to make of it. It was only a couple of years back everybody had their own handle online and it wasn’t really resembling anything you did away from the screen – You could hide behind […]

Why you need a social media agency: taking social media from tactical to strategical

So there’s a lot of “why you don’t need a social media agency/strategy/something” going on in the blogosphere . As always these things amuses me, mainly because I see them as fingerpointing in a world of content. Where what is called bullshit upon isn’t necessarily people in general but “types in general” aka. kind of […]

Does a tiny bit of Facebook make you a social company?

Yesterday I saw a sign on the road in Copenhagen; First I thought it was a coffee shop called FACEBOOK. Then I read the small letters which said “find us on FACEBOOK”… (Im writing in capital letters because it really did scream to me). It was really bizarre because FACEBOOK was written right where you […]

Want to connect to people easier? use the “add a personal message”

So, I feel really lucky because I have people adding me on FB and LinkedIn all the time – au contraire to the “open” version of Twitter – it’s where I need to accept that I will be connected to these people. I think people are fascinating, but sometimes it seems like other people are […]

Should companies focus more on Facebook than their own site?

This is a question that I get a lot when I speak at events and with my clients. To what extent should companies focus their activities on Facebook instead of their own site? I think facebook is really cool in some cases and not so cool in others… I love the fact that the interaction […]

Should you “like” your own stuff on Facebook?

Two days ago I got a lot of traffic on the “should you “like” your own stuff on facebook” sentence. I thought that it would be cool to elaborate a bit on it in a blogpost. So here goes: My take on liking your own stuff on facebook is that it’s a big no no. […]

Now tell me again: you’re a social media expert because you call bullshit on other social media experts?

Social media experts are a hunted tribe these days. There’s not one morning where I check into my feeds where I don’t see a social media expert calling bullshit on other social media experts – defining them as the internet version of bad personal coaches. It amuses me, because it seems that these people are […]

Sustainable transitional web apps for the future

Ben Metcalfe wrote in a tweet a couple of weeks ago that “the way that twitter currently works doesn’t scale”. I think that’s my problem too. twitter doesn’t scale, not technically, and not as a mobile community either. solely on the web – it’s great – but I want the Twitter messages on my phone […]

Communities are getting used to social – what’s the next trend?

So at Lift07 there was nobody who said the word “blog” or “web 2.0” which to me is a very visible sign that “blog” and “web 2.0” is getting passé… slowly but firmly. It is not where the geeks are anymore.Does this mean that Web 2.0 is dead ? hardly – now all the companies […]
