The ENTER2009 conference comes to a close today, and is slowly ramping down. The highlights of today’s talks include tips for designing an effective web presence, and information about how the mobile sector will soon becoming quite important.
Iselin Skogland from ethotelservices started her talk by stating that websites aren’t beauty contests. They are functionality and [...]

We are now on the second day of the ENTER conference, and today’s keynote was by Forrester Research and Google. Both obvious giants in their respective fields. If you’ve read the Groundswell book from Forrester you have pretty good idea what I mean. And since you are reading this blog I’ll assume you also know [...]

Onwards to the second round of talks at ENTER2009. Jim Hamill from the University of Strathclyde spoke about how there are two views of the whole web 2.0 phenomenon. The first is, that it is a buzzword and nothing more. It’s a way of trying to hype the web again, after the bubble bursting.
The second [...]

På Seismonaut har vi ofte gået og brummet lidt over manglen på initiativer, meet-ups og arrangementer omkring nye, sociale, interaktive, digitale medier i det jyske – og specielt Århus-området. Det råder vi nu i samarbejde med Århus Kommune og Alexandra Instituttet bod på. “Wake Up and Smell the Coffee” er et forsøg på at kickstarte [...]

I’ve always had this special interest, a fetish one might say, about yesterday’s tomorrow. Those daredevilish visions, hopes and ideas about how the future might be like.

Som del af et konsortium bestående af 8 viden- og forskningsinstitutioner var der med opbakning fra et netværk af 30 erhvervsvirksomheder søgt støtte til et innovationsnetværk med titlen “Sport – ny teknologi og [...]

Well, I’m afraid the answer doesn’t come that easy – and certainly not here. However, last Sunday Anders and I did a presentation on the topic at the Danish International Media Festival – the largest in Scandinavia with more than 1500 participants.
It’s a pretty thankless job to come up with fluffy predictions, which is why [...]

Mobile is really taking off at the moment. We sometimes help different venture capitalists and business angels assess new media concepts, products and services. Furthermore we often meet with entrepreneurs, mentoring and discussing business models and plans. It’s always a very interesting and fruitful experience. Not only do we get to meet brilliant and passionate [...]

I have been following the e-reader development for about six years now. (I wrote about Esquire’s e-ink cover page a couple of weeks ago.) And most of the time it’s been oh-so-hyped. At the Knock Knock conference about new media I hosted in 2006 we had invited Plastic Logic’s vice president to share his thoughts [...]

”Konkurrencen om Multimediehuset og det nye centrale havnebyrum i Århus er nok den største udfordring som arkitektfirmaer har været stillet overfor i Danmark i mange år.” Sådan siger Hans Peter Svendler, direktør i Realdania, som er med til at finansiere Multimediehuset.
Det er en interessant betragtning. Ikke mindst fordi Seismonaut indgår i et af de tre [...]
