In his new years speech for 2007, Norwegian King Harald said (in Norwegian): Mye i livet er viktig, men mon tro om vi ikke trenger å ta oss mer tid til å snakke sammen? I gamle dager hadde de butikken og kirkebakken, - møtesteder for den gode pratens skyld. I dag har vi mobiltelefonen, "Facebook" og "chatte-rom". Det er det samme hva det kalles, men vi trenger dialogen. Vi ...

If you know french, could you help me translate what Mathieu Janin says about me and my presentation at Comdays 2007 in his blogpost? An excerpt (which sounds nice, but I don't know French): Inspiré par Malcom Macdowel, auteur du bestseller "tipping point", il nous présente deux exemples norvégiens de succès au travers d'une magnifique présentation générée par keypoint d'apple. Un délice pour les yeux après une indigestion d'horribles transparents ...

At my presentation for "Medievaner 07" and in Tønsberg the week before I talked a abit about in-game advertising. And the possibility that in the future we could see companies like Google and Facebook - who knows a lot about their customers - connect with the gaming industry. So when you play "Project Gotham Racing 4" on the Xbox360, you see ads along the road for products you ...

My two killer advice for your presentation: 1) Have your laptop on the floor at the edge of the stage, not on the podium where the crew want you to put it. Then you can have a look at the preview screen while looking at the audience. Much better. Most presenters turn their back to the screen way to often. Don’t show your back (or ass!) unless there’s a ...

Kampanje (="campaign") is the leading Norwegian mag for people who works with tv, radio, advertising, media, marketing and communication. Kampanje has a monthly (paper) magazine and a website with daily news. Last week they covered my presentation at "Medievaner 07". Today a friend of mine tipped me that the article was the most read at Kampanje.com last week (24. to 29. September).

I did a presentation at "Medievaner 07", Aker Brygge, Oslo 20. september 2007. My presentation was called "What's hot, what's next and why?" (lol). Connected changes everything My main point is this: Young people today are connected with so many people through different channels, that disconnecting their network would be almost like cutting off an arm. Their network is bigger than their parents, it's more diverse, it's more advanced and ...

I did a presentation in Tønsberg last week. I'm not going to put up the whole presentation here. But instead I would like to put up a few pictures and links I've found the last weeks. First up is Aftenposten (Norwegian) who wrote about a new book by Jesper Bo Jensen called "Future Consumer Tendencies and Shopping Behavior". Jensen thinks that people in the near future not will ...

Motion 07 is finished, and what a great conference it was. Great content, great speakers, and lots of interesting people to talk to. Loved it. The conference has got lots of feedback too, and here's their "sum-it-up" post (in Norwegian). I did a presentation on "NRK in new media", and here it is, hosted at slideshare. Watch out for pink underwear. I have added links to all videos I ...
