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.

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.

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.
