  Moo cards arrived images, internet, photography | (6)

  So I finally decided to fire away an order and get myself some nice business cards from Moo.com. And even if you don't want to order anything you should try their service simply to learn something about usability and customer communication. Fantastic company. The cards are high quality prints of some of my Flickr-images.

  The amazing collaborative force of the internet internet | (4)

  Volapük is one of the many attempts of making a universal, easy to learn language. It was created by Johann Martin Schleyer in 1879-1880. And abandoned in the early 1900's. According to Wikipedia there are now an estimated 20-30 Volapük speakers in the world. If that's correct, this is pretty amazing: The Volapük Edition of Wikipedia has more than 100 000 articles. Now that's some productive 20-30 persons!

  The Long Tail in your living room Media, internet, marketing | (0)

    Oyvind answers my quick link to Fortune Magazine with a very good post on how the net will change your media habits. I decided to comment on it with a separate article here: Moving the internet into the living room has been done before. But the big problem with the WEB-TV products of the late ninties was the fact that the companies making those products didn't understand the living room situation at all and thought that web pages as we know them today would be a good idea on the big screen. They soon realized ...

  ROFL! The n00b got a BSOD on his HTPC Interesting web stuff, internet | (5)

  Or in plain english: Rolling on the floor lauging! The inexperienced user got a serious error on his home theatre personal computer. People keeps asking. And a while ago I realised that my mother is reading this blog. She wasn't the one requesting this little roundup of strange computer geek language but I have a feeling that she will be one of the persons learning a couple of new abbreviations from this article. There is no point for me to give something of a complete guide to internet language. I'll explain a couple of the abbreviations I have used here on eirikso.com and ...

  Usability and error messages Design, internet, marketing | (3)

  I'm using Bloglines as my RSS reader. I like the fact that it is independent of the computer I use and that it lets me keep a list of clips and a blog of links that I can follow up later. Today when I tried to access it the site was down for maintenance. Bloglines seem to have systems that let them maintain and keep the service running without having to take it down often, but today they apparently had to take it down for a short while. What kind of message they give to their users while the system is down ...

  A coincidence or are the people over at Engadget a bunch of cheap copycats? Daily ramblings, Mobile, internet | (3)

  Edit: For the people not reading comments, the brilliant Peter Rojas of Engadget just assured that this is a 100% coincidence. And I believe him. Case closed. Edit2: And now the writer of the guide over at Engadget, Barb Dybwad has contacted me as well. No doubt about the fact that we worked on these articles in parallel. Keep up the good work over at Engadget. A coincidence does not make you copycats. But those pictures where a bit blurry, wheren't they? :-) I posted this how-to on my blog on August 14th. I was quite satisfied with the guide so I sent ...

  The increase of pages indexed by Yahoo shows on Trendmapper? Google, Technology, internet | (0)

  I have followed parts of the discussions around the fact that Yahoo claimed to have increased its index to include about 20 billion web pages. A claim that several people questions. I am not in the position to have qualified theories about that, but I am running a web site that reflects that something clearly has happened to the engine over at Yahoo. In Trendmapper nearly all the charts searching for phrases with a significant amount of hits had a big jump in its Yahoo curve earlier this month. Actually, a search that looked useless at first have become quite useful for me. ...

  Reaching the world blogging, internet | (1)

  It never stops fascinating me where I can reach using the internet. I have done lots of presentations and it is always a thrill to comunicate to many people. The biggest presentation I have done so far was in front of about 1200 people. That is nothing compared to the amount of people I reach with my blog. And, even doing international presentations while working for the consulting company Accenture, I never reached out to the same divere audience that I do through eirikso.com My little comic strip about Bob the Millionaire is one of my most popular posts. I have fun ...

  Herkko Heitanen and Lehtovaara – the story continues internet, law | (0)

  I added the search phrase "Lehtovaara" to Trendmapper the day this case was featured on BoingBoing. The charts for Google, MSN Search and Yahoo all goes up. And what do you think? On Google the search for Lehtovaara got around 19 000 hits on June 27. Now it gets around 27 000 hits. Do you think the extra 8 000 hits are about the good service and nice food at Lehtovaara? The case is all over the internet and the bullying owner is doing interviews revealing that he don't know anything about blogging. It's back on BoingBoing and people are ...

  Legal threats and the internet Food, blogging, internet, law | (2)

  And the price for the most stupid legal threat goes to restaurant Lehtovaara in Helsinki. Herkko Hietanen is a lawyer specialized within IT-law. He had a very bad experience at the Lehtovaara and posted a letter to the restaurant after the unlucky visit. They did not answer, so Herkko posted the letter on his blog. A while later this letter is hit number two on Google if you do a search for the restaurant. So, the owner of the restaurant sends Herkko a legal threat demanding (among other things) that he should remove the letter from the web and pay him ...
