I’m not fortunate enough to attend the Web 2.0 expo going on right now. That sucks! Luckily, Peter Svarre is blogging his provebial ASS off from the event. I’ve been following his posts, and they provide real value. You should do the same.
Catch up on web 2.0 expo

What’s up with supersocial.dk?
Some of you may have read my Danish scriblings over at supersocial.dk. It’s been a while (to say the least) since I posted anythng overthere, and the reason for this is quite simple.
Since joining Re: I’ve put my blog energy into getting Re:thinking – (our company blog) off the ground. I think the guys at Re: did a killer job on our new site (based on Wordpress), and it’s crucial for me to contribute to the blog. Maintaining two Danish blogs is too much for me to cope with at this moment, so I had to make a choice, and it was a no-brainer. I’m a Re: guy now 
That being said, I quite like my supersocial domain, and I’ve been struggling with a way to put it to good use. As of now, it’ll be an aggregated blog (running on tumblr) of stuff about social software. It runs on feeds from my delish-bookmarks (tagged social), Flickr-pics (tagged social), posts from this blog and the one at Re:, Tweets, shared articles from my Google reader and some other stuff.
So consider it my personal social media filter. I hope some of you can put some of it to good use, and if not you can still follow my posts in Danish at Re:thinking.
Enjoy.

Rock the Vote!
So I just voted for my favourite tweets over at the twitties (my geekness never seizes to amaze me) – have you put in your votes yet! Claim your influence, damnit!

Got a kick out of this nifty thing while I had my morning coffee today. A youtube video jukebox generated from my last.fm lists. It’s made by Morten Just. (Via)
Testing Posterous auto post to Wordpress
Sorry for the lack of meaningful content in this post, but I’m doing a quick test of Posterous’ auto post functionality. It could come in handy!

Re:locating
It’s official. I’ve partnered up with the guys at Re: and we’re psyched to join forces and help companies and organisations re-think their web presence.
For those of you who speak (or rather read) Danish, there’s more on the matter over at www.supersocial.dk, a post that also represents the last post on that blog for now – maintaining one English and one Dansh blog is demanding enough, so when Re:s blog launches end of august, I’ll be posting my Danish blog posts there.
Blogging by email – Posterous makes it easy
Ernst mentioned Posterous in a tweet recently, and I spent some time checking it out yesterday.
Basically, Posterous is a super simple blogging tool that never requires you to sign up or learn your way around a back end.
You activate your account and post your first post all at once, simply by sending an email to post@posterous.com.
The system creates an account for you, gives you a URL based on your name and makes your email subject field the title and the body text the post itself. It then sends you a confirmation link.
You can log in and edit your profile, posts and settings if you want to, but it is entirely up to you.
If you attach images to your email they are displayed in the post, and if there is more than one image Posterous places them in a neat little gallery. If you attach mp3s they are playable from the post in a nice looking player. Links to Youtube or Vimeo files in your email wil result in embedded videos and Posterous also collects your attachments in zip files for download. Quite simply genious, and very elegant.
On top of this one Posterous account can be set up to recognise different email adresses, fascilitating email based group blogging.
I’m super happy with Wordpress, but I recommend Posterous to anyone looking for a simple, feature rich and easy-to-use blogging tool.
As far as I can tell Posterous is built using Ruby on Rails (a detail mostly meant for the guys at Re: who freakin LOVE RoR)

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”)
