Turns out this blog’s turned 6 years yesterday (on it’s current platform, anyway). Well happy b-day to you, blog. I guess my forgetting the actual day is kind of symptomatic of our relationship these days

And feeling good about this morning’s declaration of love from drug of choice to me.

Coffee really does love me!

Poets And Plumbers / MySpace

Poets And Plumbers / MySpace.

I just hosted a seminar alongside Poets and Plumbers. It was all about MySpace – where are they at right now, how do they view their position in the Danish market (dominated by Facebook) and finally – and most interestingly – what they future holds for one of the grand old players on the social networking scene.

I must say, I’m pretty impressed by the plans forming at MySpace, and by their aproach when it comes to localisation. As the image shows, MySpace are comitted to a local presence in a host of different markets (Denmark among others), and actually managed to become THE social network in Germany, probably because of a very early localised version.

Anyhoo – watch out for MySpace in 09. There are some very interesting things just around the corner. Especially if you’re into music. Actually, if you can get your hands on an American I.P. adress you can check out some of the new stuff already.

Full circle

Nearly exactly one year ago, I wrote a blog post on microblogging and campaigning. Today I wrote a blog post over at Re:s blog on corporate microblogging (in Danish), and I’m currently working on an article on microblogging for Poets & Plumbers. I wonder if it has all come full circle or if microblogging is finally hitting it’s peak on the hype cycle. Either way, it sure is all the rave at the moment!

The cross-posting conundrum…

I’m a huge fan of hellotxt – it enables me do status-posting on e helluvalot of services that I would otherwise probably never post to. and as it turns out, posting on services like Plaxo and LinkedIn (where I wouldn’t post if I couldn’t do it automatically while posting on Twitter or Facebook) actually does spark up conversations.

But where to draw the line? And how?

At the moment I cross-post to:

I’m considering removing facebook from the list and posting separately on that one, and I suppose I could target my posts to Plaxo and LinkedIn more acurately to their intended audience. On the other hand, I do enjoy posting ridiculously personal status updates to up-tight-ish LinkedIn.

Any thoughts on cross-posting out there? (other than “don’t”)
