Understand The Web
The ongoing feud between Apple and Adobe has made, at least, me think a bit extra of the web and what it actually is. This article is really spot on. Read it. http://benward.me/blog/understand-the-web

Interviewing Jung's friends: Christian Rudolf
The second part of our interview series where we ask a few questions to friends of ours brings Christian Rudolf, SEO guru and tech blogger at disruptive.nu. Each interviewee is asked to exchange one question and Christian chose to exchange the question "Ogg theora or H.264?" with "Meaning of life?"
1. What is your least favorite word?
Not a word, I have an expression I hate "Du skall göra rätt för dig" Wich basically means, you need to pull your own weight but since it always someone else in the swedish society that tells you the weight
you need to pull, it is so wrong and there is a lot of morale stigma if you break it.
2. What turns you on?
Links
3. What turns you off?
Spettekaga, its a delicacy from my part of the country. It is very traditional and a lot of sugar.
4. What sound or noise do you love?
The sound of wind picking up in the sails when I am sailing.
5. What sound or noise do you hate?
I am afraid of bangs, from guns or firecrackers
6. What is your favorite curse word?
Fan också ;-)
7. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
As I learn more I realise creating code is the art of the new times. I wish I knew code. They are the artists and painters of our time.
8. What profession would you not like to do?
All professions were you work alone. Like truckdrivers or security guard at night.
9. Meaning of life?
Find what u love to do, whatever that is.
Relevant CSR by food delivery service Linas Matkasse
Linas Matkasse (~Lina's bag of croceries) is a delivery service of food and also recipies, to make the lives of parents a little bit easier (I am a subscriber myself...).
Today they launch a CSR initiative where I as a subscriber am asked to pay 100 Swedish kronor (~14 USD) extra on top of the by-weekly fee, which will pay for a second bag of groceries, which will be delivered to a family in Kenya.
This is a CSR project that really appeals to me in several ways. It is extremely relevant for Linas Matkasse as a food delivery service to deliver food to people that need it. The movie below (in Swedish) showing the families already receiving food also gives me a feeling of almost knowing the receivers.
Keeping in mind the recent discussions about how donations are spent by humanitarian organizations this movie makes me confident the contributions reach the recipients and is a very clever use of digital media.
See you at Webbdagarna tomorrow
Tomorrow at 13.05 on Webbdagarna Sony Ericsson and myself will be presenting the story about the Sony Ericsson Product Blog. It will be a lot of focus on engagement, transparency and personality. Go figure, huh.
At the same time as our presentation there are presentations about e-commerce, marketing and B2B on the other stages - so if we're boring you can head over to one of those.
Interviewing Jung's friends
It took some time to get the Jung version of the Inside the Actor's Studio concept ready (sure we stole it from the Jung Showroom blog...), but it is now all clear. Those interviewed will get the chance to switch one question, which they will also answer themselves. Those nine questions will then be passed on to the next interviewee who will also switch one question.
Johan Loman, who recently joined Jung as a planner, is the first interviewee and has switched question number 9. Welcome Johan!

Pong in the favicon
A while ago I stumbled upon DEFENDER of the favicon, a game based on Defender which uses some nifty javascript hacks to display the game in the browser favicon. It's pretty impressive, and now I just realized that the same guy has put the classic game of Pong in the favicon. It might not be very practical, but being a developer myself I really find it to be in the higher regions of awesomenimity scale. Play it here.
Laengd
A couple of the co-workers here at Jung have started a tumblr blog about a special type of Swedish pastery called "Längd". http://laengd.tumblr.com/
A major misconception about social media
I overread a Twitter conversation the other day, where person A was excited about their succesful movie that had gotten lots of engagement and views. Person B on the other hand replied saying that it was too long for YouTube - since YouTube is only for short movies.
Do you see the mistake? The mistake is considering YouTube a media where there are rights and wrongs which will never change. I find this a common view of social media in general.
Twitter should be handled this way. All other ways are wrong.
You should blog that way. And that way will always be the right way.
This is so wrong and it helps building the misconception that social media has all these rules and thus is hard to engage with. Face it - social media changes and the users change its perception of it. All the time.
This means that you have the opportunity to develop social media and the user perception of it. You know your target groups and you know if they want to watch a four minute movie on YouTube.
Xbox Lips Facebook app
We've been a bit on the slow side updating the blog. But it's all due to work. Good old, fun work. For instance this Facebook music quiz for Xbox that was launched today. Answer questions about music and compare your result with your friends. Go ahead and play! (it is in Swedish)
