Beck´s goes blogging


You live by the blog. You have a way with words that hold people captive. And you don't shy away from being in the public eye. Then Beck´s want you. Give your two cents worth, and we'll give you a handsome salary and other bright perks. Your name and blogs will be seen by many around the world. Others have 365 days, you have 365 entries in a year. You get to work with Beck's and a congenial creative team in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. You might even relocate to a greener pasture. Sounds too good to be true? live by the blog.

Interesting point is that they are not looking for a corporate blogger, but a person that will give a personal view on news, people and ideas that match the brands philosophy 'Different by Choice'.

Ever dreamt of being Steve Jobs?

He is awesome and so is Apple. To make a good presentation is difficult and is much dependent on the speaker. A CEO from a large corporation would be dressed in a suit. However, Steve Jobs is normal dressed, and speaks the language of the audience.A learning I want to take with me is to keep it simple, put in visuals, and limit the amount of text. Important is also to set the scene and have a clear structure.

Virtual wall


How to improve the effectiveness of traffic lights. Still in process, but I like the idea. 

This virtual wall is designed for busy city streets, and the idea is simply to show two-dimensional image of giant people crossing the street instead of the classical red light. The real pedestrians walk behind their virtual counterparts.

Google Maps adds Wikipedia and Photos

Web 2.0 is about integration and how to tie services. In this context Photos and Wikipedia is new features that has been added to Google Maps. This gives users a more fulfilling experience of the location they´re looking for. Photos and Wikipedia buttons can now be ticked in the newly added “More” tab on Google Maps to show an overlay of thumbnails showing all the geotagged photos and Wiki articles about points of interest in the area of search.via lifehacker

How to grow old!

I don´t wanna end up like this guy. Apparently he's a Japanese news reporter that let the stress of the job get the best of him.

It´s all about microblogging

Microblogging is the new hot trend within web 2.0 and social media. Within microblogging Twitter is the giant, whereas Jaiku and Pownce are newer communities. In short microblogging is about short messages, and there is a max. limit of characters – for Twitter it´s 140 characters. Therefore microblogging is short messages that you send via your mobile device or computer. Besides, you receive updates from the one´s you follow. To put it in perspective microblogging is actually like status updates on Facebook. The idea is simply to be connected all the time – showing your network and friends what you´re doing of interesting things. It´s a very simple concept, and I believe this is a necessity, in order to reach the mainstream audience. And microblogging is less time-consuming and has a larger potential than regular blogging, since this is a part-time job to keep it running. From my belief microblogging will further revolutionize the traditional text messages.

I have posted videos from the Common Craft Show before – and I´m really fascinated by this way of presenting stuff, since it is kept simple.
