I know its been quite a long time since I mentioned babysnart.dk, but we’re pretty busy working on it.. and its moving forward - of course not as fast as I really wanted it to do… but we’re gettting there…
Babysnart.dk is still the good old version 0.01…
Klodsmajor had a really great Chrismas sale with a LOT of new customers in the e-shop - Susanne has never packed and send out so many toys… and I know for sure that she’s taking a welldeserved rest just now… 
And now it turns out that Klodsmajor also is a candidate for the Danish e-handelsprisen (the Danish award for the best e-commerce solutions) in the categori ‘Nystarterprisen’ (the startup prize) - that is certainly a very nice extra Christmas present!
(I’m of course not a member of the e-handelsprisens jury group involved with ‘Nystarterprisen)
Today was the day for the jury kick-off meeting at e-handelsprisen 2008 (the Danish award for the best e-commerce solutions) and I was again invited to be in the jury - and again in the category ‘Internationalisering’ (like in ‘going international’). It was really great seeing a lot of people from last year (time) and a bunch of ‘new’ faces, too.
First step before we meet again is to wait for all the new and ‘mature’ great Danish websites to submit them selves to the competition.. So guys and girl, are you the ones who did it great in 2007?
Personally I’m really looking forward to see the websites - its was impressive last time, and I’m sure it’ll be even better this time.
Are you also one of those people who has the feeling that your ISP isnt really giving your the Internet connection speed that they promised?
Just found this link for testing… will test now….
There are soooo many of those community type of websites and I do feel sooo behind… I was pretty fast on Linkedin, did never try myspace, but now I’m at least on Facebook - got to see what that Facebook and all the money is about. And Facebook is rather interesting. You can do a lot more on Facebook that on Linkedin (which seems nearly too closed), but I can also get a bit ‘afraid’ that Facebook will be too time consuming or it could be.. Great with the posibilities to create (not that I do it personaly) and use third parties apps, but also too time consuming - I dont want to ‘vampire bite’ friends or join too many groups, but a quick movie test is fun sometimes… but not an never ending game…
And I’m really ‘afraid’ that Facebook will turn into another advertsing space like myspace (which is filled with bands and record advertising)…. then you will the users flea to the next community sort of thing…
Just got another piece of spam in my blog comments, but this one was not about Viagra - it was about Powerleveling in WoW (World of Warcraft).
The spam entry:
“We offer wow powerLeveling,world of warcraft powerleveling,lineage 2 powerleveling.

You get it?
Ok, in the online game world of World of Warcraft lot’s of people dont want to spend (LOTS of) time building a strong game character, so they pay one of the many companies to level (Powerlevel) their character to a certain level ect… AKA they dont really want to spend time and energy struggling in low levels, but want to pay for their ‘own’ strong high level game character with lots of gold… It’s like buying your action man with all the cool equipment from the start…
Seems like the news flow isnt that impressive in Denmark… Today one of the hot stories in our local ‘IT-oracle’ ComON is about Google’s black twin Blackle - in it selves a pretty interesting story about how we could save energy by using a black version of Google instead of the white one… BUT my problem with this story by ComON is that its OLD news! My good old friends Per Klixbüll in Chicago send me a mail about it back in end July 2007 and without being to hard on Per, I’m pretty sure he wasnt the first one to discover about it… so….
Per please remember to include the nice people from ComON in Denmark in all you future mails to me….. seems it would be appreciated…
I’m sure they would have loved you undercover pictures from the new Batman film…
Per’s mail
I know this gets pretty nerdy and then mixed with some Danish words like søgeoptimering , but being in a company like Addvisors helping clients getting traffic/customers from Search Engines I do see a lot of funny words in the business… I mean even the sort of term for part of the business ‘Search Engine Optimization’/ søgemaskineoptimering is not really good - we dont really optimize any Search Engine… we expect Google, MSN and Yahoo to do that kind of optimization…
And what about søgeoptimering - search optimization… I guess its about helping the ‘poor’ user of a search engine optimizing his search so he’ll find what he need… or?
Any other good ones?
Was invited by my friend Jacob Lachmann to the SIME Copenhagen (Scandinavian Interactive Media Event) - a media event filled a lot of interesting speakers and good friends from the industry, so inputs and networking and catching up…
Thanx Jacob!
Nikolaj Nyholm told us about his new company Polar Rose which will revolutionize the way we can search for people in the pictures - by recognition in the picture and not by filename and tags like ‘today’… coool!
And my friends Thomas Madsen-Mygdal told us about the 2 new products in the 23-family - seems like Thomas will be going really commercial…
Most of the the stuff at SIME was really interesting, but a bit wasnt that new…
And this guys just wasnt ready for more input… maybe information overflow?
What is Thomas doing with this sign? Testing new technology?
In a rutine checkup by Skaiste Knyzaite, CEO Addvisors Vilnius, she discovered that airBaltic was violating FlyLAL’s trademark in their use of Google AdWords and after a couple of talks with the people at FlyLAL they decided to go the legal way now asking for 1,45 million Euro for the loss of revenue caused by this unfair action.
