As a reply to the UK “We Love Your Operator” videos me and Björn decided to head out to on town and make our own. We met up with Three – and oh yeah did they love us back!
The love is all around! 🙂
Check out the originals as well!

Free your iPhone – why not use your address book?
A week ago Jajah were very proud of how you could use their service through the iPhone. Yeah, it’s pretty neat that you can browse to their webpage using your wifi/edge-enabled phone.
However, I feel that it’s slightly easier to just use your normal address book. In the Rebtel blog today is a real easy to follow step-by-step guide to do what Jajah asks you – but well without having to go online even.
Ad-based revenues
So, Facebook is constantly expanding the opportunity to increase the amount of ads we see on their site. First we have the ads inside the feeds and then the flyer feature. I can see the flyers be really useful for say student organisations – but currently I have four flyers out of which three are “Adult Friend Finder” softporn sites. Voi, voi, voi Facebook – where is this heading?
Virtual economies – toppling regimes?
Alex posted an interesting note on his blog yesterday about an article on virtual economies and their possible implications. This was a comment on a discussion around that Anshechung studios is launching the first cross-world exchange, which allows you to invest in any of several virtual worlds (such as SecondLife and Project Entropia).
I love the potential of these to have an even greater first world impact. The fact that they’re inherently extremely hard to control means that they’ll be more liberated from government influence and be freer. Currently, though, I’m worried about the fact that these communities are essentially walled gardens and don’t interoperate – right now the owners are private companies, it’s beyond the reach of any random person to create their own and to be the owner of the content (as it is very much with the internet).
If the global metaverse is not created, based on openness, interoperability and the fact that “anybody can do it” we’re going to create a number of universes more free from government influence but instead bound to a handful corporations. In my opinion, not a good way to go. Hopefully these kind of initiatives will help to push these worlds forward.

Street review iPhone
So, after having read (and got tired of) the same reviews of the iPhone over and over again all across everyone’s blogs, I happened to be on the underground station “Odenplan” when I heard some guys talking about the iPhone. I decided to record what they were saying:
Facebook posts ad in feed!
Here’s something new to me that I just came across – an ad posted in the feed of my facebook page. Here it’s Verizon that’s got to push their WiFi add into my feed.
I’m not sure I like this from a user’s point of view (especially if they’re not extremely careful about what they put here and how often), but I can see that it will have a much bigger impact for add traffic – especially when including the Share button, it’s actually possible that if this catches on we might have viral ads on facebook… I thought the “application” invitations were pesky – now I have to stand people sharing ads with me?
Marketing videos?
Blendtec was really successfull with their marketing videos – in their campaign “will it blend?”. Read & Learn!
I’m seriously tired of the iPhone
Everyone . is . talking . about . the . iPhone . and . saying . the . same . things!
I don’t mind the iPhone, I think it seems like a cool product, I might get one a few generations forward from now. I think they’re sexy. But since last week no blog in the whole world is not writing about the iPhone, and it bores me, it bores me a lot!
