Vores næste Headstart morgenseminar handler om sociale medier på hjernen. To spændende oplægsholdere giver en forskningsbaseret forklaring på sociale mediers fascinationskraft og vokseværk.

Jeg har lige sat sidste punktum (bogstaveligt talt) i bogen ”Den digitale værktøjskasse”, som vi har skrevet i samarbejde med UPDATE ved Danmarks Medie- og Journalisthøjskole. Bogen er en praktisk guide til journalister og kommunikationsfolk, der føler sig udfordret på kompetencer og roller i en tid, hvor print bliver til pixels og modtagere bliver til deltagere.

Det er lige gået op for mig, at jeg så småt er begyndt at springe folks tweets på 140 tegn over, fordi de er for lange. Da Twitter var ved at slå igennem talte alle om, hvor svært det var at udtrykke sig med kun 140 tegn. Men vi tilpasser os de nye medier – det har vi alle dage gjort. Og i dag er 140 tegn altså lige i overkanten og jeg bliver decideret småirriteret, når folk frådser og sender mig en 160-tegns sms i romanstørrelse. Faktisk tager jeg mig af og til i at ønske, at en ven eller medarbejders historie blev fortalt i twitter-form.

We’ve had a Kindle 2 lying around the office for a while, but we never really got round to actually getting anything worth reading on to it. During the weekend I finally transferred a bunch of Gutenberg books to it, along with the new Dan Brown book.

Chris Anderson published his much talked about “Free” book recently and naturally is was (and is) free from several sources. It can be downloaded as an audiobook read by Chris himself or as an eBook for most platforms.
This post isn’t about that though, the book’s already been discussed at length all over the web. This [...]

The classic russian puzzler Tetris celebrated 25 year of falling blocks on the 6th of June. To celebrate I’ve collected a bunch of Tetris links I’ve stolen from around the web.

The essential parts of Tetris remain the same, even after 25 years. While there have been additions and subtractions from the original format (such as [...]

We’ve been working on a project for Midtjysk Turisme called 48 Hours in Denmark, as has been posted on the blog before. The idea is to reach the lead users in the digital tourism field, so as to learn what they do, want and need from both destinations and turist information all round.
To facilitate this [...]

One of the areas I’ve been thinking quite a bit about during the last couple of years is participatory culture. I even wrote my master’s thesis on that topic (get it in Danish) No doubt it’s a broad and not very well defined area. But in essence it’s a culture with increasingly low barriers to [...]
