RSS er super-praktiskt. Enten om du bruker laptop, tablet eller mobil så er aggregerte kilder gull verdt. Hvor digg er det ikke å kunne samle alt du ønsker å lese i en leser (f.eks Google Reader) eller til og med automatisk oppdatere nettbrettet ditt med de nyeste sakene fra dine favorittkilder? Her er en liten oppskrift på hvordan du kan gjøre dette på facebook sider du følger. Det er ikke alltid at social feed plukker opp disse, og dessuten er…
Stortinget vedtok i går, med knapt flertall, å innføre datalagringsdirektivet. Direktivet som har oppstått som et resultat av frykten for terrorisme i Europa, og som er omstridt i flere europeiske land, vil pålegge leverandører av telefoni- og data tjenester å loggføre trafikkdata i et fastsatt tidsrom. Data som skal loggføres er metadata fra telefonsamtaler og internettoppkoblinger.

Many governmental and corporate offices choose to be present in social media, and to share and gather information here. Internet services such as Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and Youtube have enabled organisational bodies to participate on an arena where also individuals are contributing, commenting and sharing content. Are you working within an organisation being present in one of these arenas or other. Then I want to get in touch with you. On which platforms are your organisation present, and how? How…

Ever since Jules and I won the competition to name the new mobile phone model Huawei U8230 on Facebook, I thought I should write something about viral marketing. In this competition we worked hard to get as many votes as possible for my suggestion – Huawei Social. The background for the competition was that the Chinese technology manufacturer Huawei wanted to enter the Norwegian cell phone market with their new touchscreen devices.

Some years ago Web 2.0 was coined as a term for the new Internet. By definition it is not a technological improvement, it was a metaphor for the phenomenom of the web becoming social.
