Twittermania 8 New Twitter Services
June 24, 2008
The twittermania continues. “Every time a bell rings, a new twitter service gets it’s wings” - You may use this quote freely.
It’s almost impossible to keep track of all the new twitter services that are constantly launched. I’ve created a list of the most recent services.
The list goes from Tweetmarks and spamplets to Hiimok and HappyTwitDay.

Twitter Alternatives - Plurk Or Pownce
June 6, 2008
It’s no surprise that twitter can be a bit unstable from time to time. Twitter is probably the only service I know that’s almost more down than it’s up, and still have a loyal fan base and increase it’s number of users.
But what are the alternatives?
There are a lot of similar micro-blogging services out there, but can they replace twitter? Read more

A Day In The Life Of Twitter
May 30, 2008
This is only my second video, so please be gentle.
Using summize.com I’ve gathered some of the tweets from desperate, disappointed or even angry twitterers after twitter.com’s nasty downtime last Wednesday.
Which program and on which hardware I made the video is not important, at least not now, but it’s a part of my quest for the Apple. Read more

Should We Fear The Total Google World?
May 9, 2008
Every single Google service is brilliant and very useful, but when they connect you get a very powerful system, that could be too much good. Should we start to watch out?
The other day our son turned 7 months and it probably won’t be long until I have to help him set up his first Gmail account - it’s a father-son thing. Read more

Jump Into The Sea With Google Ocean
May 1, 2008
According to several rumours Google are working on a new huge 3D map project. This time Google will take us below the surface of the ocean.
First we saw our own world with Google Earth.
Then we were invited out into space with Google Sky.
And now we are back on our blue planet only to go Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea, (well maybe not exactly, but it sounds cool) with Google Ocean.
You can’t dive into the digital sea yet, but according to cnet.com, Google invited several marine-experts to Googleplex last December, to discuss the plans for a 3D ocean map. Read more

Yooba - Swedish Meatballs Or Webbased Marketing Tool?
February 28, 2008
From time to time people are kind enough to mail me and ask me to write about their startup or interview someone. I just love to get these mails. It makes me feel important and a bit like Darren Rowse and Shoemoney. Many of the mails are the copy/paste standard “Hey interesting site you have. Let me tell you about this great product we are about to launch…”-mails. Never mind that. Even those mails makes me feel important…
However communicator, Jonas Thoursie from Yooba was kind enough to mention that my site was interesting and that he found my interview series “Show Me Your Desktop“, particular interesting. Because he took the time to look at my site, I’ll take the time and space and write about Yooba. Read more

Pownce - What Is It All About? Is It Better Than Twitter?
July 26, 2007
Pownce (pounce) - You might have heard or read about it. It’s all over the internet, not as in Joost-all-over-the-internet, but pretty close.
This is what they say about themselves:
Pownce is a way to send stuff to your friends. What kind of stuff? You can send just about anything: music, photos, messages, links, events, and more. You can do it all on our web site, or install our lightweight desktop software that lets you get out of the browser.

Special Invitation To The Beta News Readers - Join Searoo Alpha
July 20, 2007
Rhode Island, USA based Swift Blue has asked me to invite The Beta News readers to join the alpha test of their local search engine. I’ve previously written about one of Swift Blue’s project, FamFridge, unfortunately a tragic family issue has set them back.
Searoo Local Search is only for the US at the moment, so you need an American zip code to register. Once you’ve registered you can review restaurants and see the reviews for the restaurants in your neighbourhood. There is also a Q&A section, where the users can connect and ask for restaurant, hotel and other recommendations.
Searoo is still in alpha test, so you should prepare for a few dead links and missing options.

FIFA 2008 News Is Launched - It’s Time To Start Experimenting
July 19, 2007
Three weeks ago I launched my second site - FIFA 2008 News. It has the latest news about EA Sports’ coming FIFA Soccer 2008 featuring interviews, screen shots, trailers and demos and press releases directly from EA Sports’ Press Room.
It all started out with an article I wrote for Connected Internet, which quickly became and is one of the most read on the site. Everton Blair suggested that I started a site up with FIFA 2008 news, I’ve done that and I’m proud to say that traffic is growing each day.
This is my first attempt at a “real” niche blog. I’ll try a few experiments on it.
