A recent survey shows that only seven out of 58 PR agencies in Denmark have their own blog (In Danish). Still you can most likely get advice on blogging from way more than the seven who blog themselves. Now does this have to present a problem? Well, I’m not quite sure, to be honest. I [...]

Giving it away
It’s important to remember – while bands like Radiohead and NIN are meaking international headlines by giving their music away – that bands have been doing this for quite a while, and continue to do so, obviously realizing that the business models for music distribution are rapidly changing. One group of guys that deserve attention [...]
Pissing off bloggers
Media Culpa has a list of ways to piss off bloggers (compiled by participants at SXSW). It’s a good list – regardless of whether you want to use it for actually pissing off bloggers, or whether you want to boost your online PR and avoid the wrath of the blogosphere (oh no, I didn’t).
New look
I’ve chosen a new theme for the blog. The old one was getting way too busy. Also, I’m playing around with video at the moment, and I wanted to go from 3 to 2 columns to have more room to embed video into – much like on my kids website (in Danish). On the subject [...]
When users speak up!
The array of groups protesting against Facebook’s terms and conditions, was interesting to follow. Apparently, the tendency is spreading to other social networks. For instance – check out this photo pool on Flickr, protesting against Microsoft’s proposal to buy Y!, or read about the phenomenon over at Wired. Personally, I remember cringing even back when [...]
Web trends visualized
I’m not particularly fond of underground maps used as illustrations – I think the metaphor is a bit worn. But once in a blue moon, someone puts the metaphor to good use, and Information Architects Japan did just that, when they released their web trends 2008 map. Check it out here.
Connecta is no more
As of today, connecta.dk is no longer active. The passing of one URL marks the birth of another. Connecta is now Wemind. The reasons for the new name are many, but first and foremost, the company is growing, and it seemed a natural time to mark the growth with a new name, identity and website. [...]
Hillary wants a government blogging team
Wired tells us Hillary Clinton goes after ‘the Facebook generation’ when suggesting the implementation of a govrnment blogging team. Clinton apparently said: “We should even have a government blogging team where people in the agencies are constantly telling all of you, the taxpayers, the citizens of America, everything that’s going on so that you have [...]
Blogging in Danish
I’ve blogged in English for years, and I’ve often considered going bi-lingual here at appoulsen.dk. Now, though, I won’t have to. As of recently I’ve started blogging in Danish over at the Wemind blog – and to those of you that don’t know yet, Wemind is the new name for Connecta – now complete with [...]
While I get my sh*t together
I’m not blogging nearly enough at the moment (I blame this guy). But in the words of the incredibly over exposed Timbaland ‘it’s been a long time / shouldn’t have left you / without a dope beat to step to’ …so for now I’ll point you in the direction of a few interesting developments among [...]
