Blogging in English v. blogging in your mother tongue

I cruised by André Ribeirinho’s blog the other day, and stopped at one (of many, mind you) very interesting post. André ponders whether or not to post in his native tongue, Portuguese, continue blogging in English, or do both. On the one hand, he enjoys reaching a wide audience that shares common interests. I feel [...]

Network-overload?

I’m a signer-upper (YES, it’s a word). I tend to get so excited, when I see opportunities for trying out new pieces of software, joining new networks and having a look at who’s there and so on and so forth. And I do believe that networking and social software wil grow stronger and stronger in [...]

Still a rookie

I thought I’d been doing this internet thang for quite some time, but apparently, I’ve still got stuff to learn. Like the deliberate misspelling of the = teh… Well whatdoyaknow…

Feeding time…

I’ve noticed a radical drop in readers over the last couple of days. There are two possible explanations (probably more, but I’ll only go in to two) All of a sudden my writing sucks worse than it used to. For obvious reasons I can’t really be an impartial judge of that. I haven’t posted in [...]

Are bloggers über-ethical?

Stuart Bruce over at A PR Guru’s Musings raises an interesting problem. It has come to be generally understood that bloggers have some sort of rock solid integrity that would prevent companies from ever using them in their advertising (except for wehn they are used ‘properly’ – meaning, involving them in the development of products, [...]

Feedreader overload

MAN, my feedreader suffered after yesterday’s Steve Jobs’ keynote at Macworld Expo 2007! And MAN, do I want that iPhone But what’s up with not making the iPhone UMTS or HSDPA enabled? Edge just doesn’t cut it, speed-wise…Nokia seem to agree with me, but then again – you’d kinda expect them to, right? Anyway, it [...]

Blog beef gone corporate

In a previous post I wrote about blog beefs – Media Culpa went one-up on that one and dug up a story on corporate blogfights. Highly entertaining! UPDATE: One of the involved parties has commented on the post at Media Culpa, underlining the fact that the conflict is in fact personal, and not representative of [...]

Why Apple over Microsoft?

Over at hovedetpaabloggen Trine-Marie poses an interesting question (in Danish). Why do we find Apple ‘sexy’ and Microsoft ‘dorky’? Is it all in the advertising? Have we really – and completely without critical distance – bought in to the desire to ‘be a Mac’? It becomes especially interesting, when you look at MS and Apple’s [...]

5 things you may not know about me

Trine-Maria tagged me to write 5 things you may not know about me. Phew, that’s a tough one – especially since I just wrote 100 of them, which was a challenge in itself, but here goes: I lived and worked in London for a year, when I was a mere 18-19 years old. I was [...]
