What I need from Path, for me to use it…

Path is all the rave, and with good reason. The app is one of the most visually appealing apps I’ve come across, and it almost feels like you’re playing when you use it.   However, for me to use it as much as I would like (I’d love for it to be my ‘social journal’, [...]

The Conference

Last week I was lucky enough to attend The Conference in Malmö. The Swedes put on a great conference, and though the internet connection was crummy (to say the least), the organisers deserve much praise. A couple of sessions really hit home with me, and left me inspired and energised. Among these were: Paolo Antonelli’s [...]

Trippin over players…

Video players, that is. Where I work, we – amongst other things, thank God – design and develop videoplayers. And it just struck me – or actually my man Christian just pointed out, that there is something inherently illogical to the conventions surrounding player-design.

Kicking the tires of Second Brain

For a little while now, I’ve been testing a service called Second Brain. Second Brain is a life stream service with a twist. I know, I know – life stream services are a dime a dozen, and if you asked me if it were a good idea to start developing a new one, I’d probably [...]

Where’s your kid at, while you’re vigilantly monitoring their facebook profile?

I hear a lot of slightly paranoid voices on the subject of Facebook and young users. And the fact is that sometimes creepy, disgusting people (young and old) do creepy, disgusting stuff – and some of these people have discovered Facebook (and Myspace and all the other online social networks out there).

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.
