The Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation needs developers. We have a lot of very exciting projects ahead. Web, mobile, digital TV and all things exciting. You find the details over here. If you want to work close to content production in a very dynamic and creative environment this could be your chance.
I have published my presentation from EBU Connect 2007 on SlideShare. You find it embedded in this article as well. If you read this blog in an RSS reader you have to jump to eirikso.com and view the post there to get the full picture…

I have tried to include relevant links in the presentation. I will also try to post more articles on the content during the next couple of weeks. Trying to make the presentation interesting for the people that didn’t attend as well.
You find the full photo set over on SmugMug. And at this point a quick flashback to Croatia 2006 could be interesting as well.
As you can see, I have abandoned Gallery on my own site in favour of Flickr. I will get back with some thoughts on this.
Update:
…and now it seems like Flickr is out and SmugMug is in.
Long time readers of my blog will know that I created a web site called Trendmapper a couple of years ago. A site that is used to track the popularity of words and phrases along different search engines. Not how many people that are doing a search for a phrase, but how many times the phrase is mentioned around the internet.
When I launched it was noted on the blogs of prominent internet heroes like John Battelle, Seth Godin and Ewan Williams. People like it! Since then I’ve had a steady flow of traffic on it. I had fantastic help of Mr. Harald Staff with the coding and the system ticked away pretty nice for years. However, at some point a major update was needed. The problem is that I don’t have the time to maintain it and develop it further. In fact, I don’t have time for huge amounts of my ideas…
So, when sitting there thinking about what to do with it an email pops up from Mr. Dudu Mimran. He offers to buy trendmapper and develop it further. After a short negotiation the deal was closed. He is now rewriting the whole functionallity and updating the site. It will be interesting to see what he makes. I was offered a position on the advisory board for Trendmapper so I will still be able to contribute with ideas.
What did you say? How much? I won’t tell, but we’re not talking huge amounts of money. Mr. Mimran is not Google. He is a hard working person buidling a portfolio of web sites that he intend to develop and run.
Over on his blog Mr. Mimran announce the aquisition. He is satisfied with the transaction and I can say the exact same thing. Mr. Dudu Mimran is a person that you can trust. Cooperative and accurate. It has been a pleasure doing business with him.
Now, both the trendmapper users and myself are looking forward to the update of the site!
I try to carry my camera as often as possible. Photography is one of those hobbies that you can bring along a lot of places. This is the result of some time waiting at the Zürich Airport. By the way, a very nice airport.
Recently I promised that I would speak at the Rose d’Or festival in Lucerne, Switzerland. However, I had to change my schedule because I need to do a very important presentation for the board of directors at the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation the same day. Colleague and blogger, Mr. Oyvind Solstad of Brilliantdays is replacing me at the Rose d’Or. I am sure it will be a fantastic presentation.
But, I will still be talking at the EBU Connect conference in the same city this friday. See you there!
…and for the people that will not be in Lucerne the next couple of days I promise to report here on the most interesting presentations. That is, if I have the time to attend to anything but my own presentation… Now I need to make it. Rehearsals tomorrow at 1800…
While watching I saw something very familiar with a knob on the wall in the movie called The Island. And yes, it has to be a Griffin Powermate right there in front of Mr. McGregor. They find cool props everywhere…
I was recently interviewed for Telenor’s business magasine “Trigger” and was asked to give some good resources and blogs on new media and this whole Web 2.0 thing. Here is what I came up with. It’s not compele and I am sure I have forgotten some very important sites. Feel free to add your faves in the comments:
First of all, you should follow this blog. I will continue to publish thoughts on new media and the things I find interesting here on eirikso.com.
Then you should start following my shared items from google reader. It’s the articles that I find interesting enough to share with my audience. Hours of blog reading filtered and shared!
Then, more or less from the top of my current list of blogs in my feed reader:
TechCrunch
For startups and Web 2.0. Essential!
Buzzmachine.com
Jeff Jarvis comments on citizen journalism and new media. High quality!
Micro Persuasion
Steve Rubel on how the internet change marketing and PR.
NewTeeVee
New media and the whole new media scene. From Om Malik’s blog empire.
BoingBoing.net
Subculture, technology and everything trendy. “A directory of wonderful things.”
Seth Godin
Essential about marketing and change.
Brilliantdays
Oyvind Solstad on new media, Macs and getting things done.
Tversover (Norwegian)
Applied Abstractions (English)
Dr. Espen Andersen on technology, business and new media.
Thomas Hawk’s digital connection
Photo, new media, media centers and the works.
Now you should learn how to use Technorati.
Here is an example. Do a search for the big Norwegian oil company called “Statoil”. Instantly you have all the recent blog posts mentioning this company. Then learn how to use an RSS feed reader like Google Reader or Bloglines. Or, start using Netvibes or Google IG as your start page. Now put that search in with you feeds and get instant notifications when a blog mention your company.
You find the feed for the search up to the right on the Technorati search result page marked “Subscribe”.
As mentioned, feel free to add your own favourites in the comments.
Update: Easy-TV.org is not providing premium content anymore. And according to some reports the site is full of malware. So I have removed the links to this site.
On this (link removed) page you can stream huge amounts of TV shows and Movies in very high quality (not compared to HD, but compared to other streaming services I have tried). TV-Shows on this page and Movies on this page. You have to install the DivX web plugin to make it work.
And, while you’re having fun – here’s another page with links to free premium content. Not the same quality, but lots of streams.
It’s the good old question of availability. If the content providers refuse to make their content available where people want it someone else will make it available. It will be interesting to see how long easy-TV.org last…
(Thanks, Lars Frelsøy)
It’s my birthday. And this is the year of virtual congratulations. SMS and MMS to my mobile are ticking in. My Facebook profile gets messages and gifts (eh.. at least one gift so far…). And, now my dear readers know it’s my birthday as well. The gift to eirikso from eirikso this year was an Elgato EyeTV 610 DVB-C digital tuner. So far it looks promising. DTV right into my iMac. Flawless syncing to my AppleTV etc. More on that later.
Have a nice day!
It was an honour to be asked back to Mediaforum (Norwegian site) “by popular demand” after my presentation at Lillehammer last autumn. I had a great time at the conference today and enjoyed all the very high quality speakers. Yes, all of them was very interesting and especially former lead design anthropologist at Microsoft, Anne Kirah from 180academy had a lot of interesting thoughts to share. I was fortunate enough to be able to spend some time with her in the bar after the conference. Enthusiastic, intelligent and interesting indeed!
Because I have a presentation style where I use the slides to illustrate what I say it is pretty useless for me to simply share a presentation in form of the slides only. But people keeps asking, so here it is. Could work as a repitition for the people that attended.
I was quite happy with the result after doing my own performance. It’s a presentation that I haven’t given before, so I was impressed when I clocked in at 24 minutes (I had 25 minutes to give the presentation and when running a presentation for the first time it is always difficult to know exactly how much time I’m going to use).

I am experimenting with SlideShare, so here is a link to my presentation. Above you find it embedded in this post as well. As long as I don’t make a special version of my presentation for SlideShare it is quite useless. They should add the possibility to read a voiceover on the presentations I have published. That would give me a true possibility to share the presentation. But hey, they’re named SlideShare and not PresnetationShare. Garr Reynolds have some interesting thoughts on this service as well.
Bonus links: Seth Godin points me to one of the worst powerpoints ever. But I still think this one is the winner.
