I will start writing some of my posts in English for the benefit of some English speaking friends – maybe all posts…don’t know yet.
Anyway, on with the show. Twitter – this is fun stuff. It is called micro blogging: As a twitter person, you have a total of 140 characters to tell your message. This message is launched over your twitter account and the people who have chosen to follow you can then see what what is on your mind. They can follow from different kinds of platforms and applications: Either by simply logging into their account on the web, by installing a small Twitter program on their computer, or on mobile devices such as the iPhone:o)
The whole thing really exploded when Ashton Kutcher snapped a picture of his wife, Demi Moore’s uhm, rear and uploaded it for the whole world to see. She was wearing underwear! Every newspaper in the western world picked up the story and suddenly everybody wanted to twit. No mention of the fact that Ashton – aside from being an actor – is also an internet entrepreneur, steadily working on building a portfolio of online offerings – which is great, go right ahead Mr. Moore, all the best, but I would guess that free advertisement around the world worth millions and millions of dollars did not exactly harm his venture:o)
I follow only a few friends which is a bit sad but not that many I know twit just yet. I do, however, follow a number of famous people (sounds like I am stalker:o). Among these are
Hugh Jackman
Steve Buscemi – ask me why
Lance Armstrong – don’t ask me why
Darth Vader – he is hugely funny
Bill Gates – who is utterly pointless and extremely dull
Ashton Kutcher – because everyone else follows him
Demi Moore – because she’s married to Ashton
Sasha Grey, Janna Haze, Stoya, Jessica Drake – in the hope these porn stars will post some sleaze, which one of them has so keep reading:o)
The Onion – cause they are funny as hell
TIME.com – because they are interesting as hell
John McCain – because I need to be reminded about the stupidity of politicians in general
Stephen Fry – because he’s a great English actor and makes beautiful use of the English language and because Ian McKellan unfortunately does not twit
Peter Kolmisoppi – one of the Pirate Bay guys and I think the verdict over them is a disgrace
Jon Favreau – no, not Obamas speach writer (which would be great) but the director of Ironman with Robert Downey
I also follow Britney Spears, Donnie Wahlberg, and Schwarzenegger but they are totally pointless which Hugh Jackman is as well.
These are some of the highlights so far.
Steve Buscemi to Ashton Kutcher: “Yo Ashton, I have a proposition for you: a summer vacation to the Bahamas & a weekend wife swap. Pick the date; I’ll make it happen”.
Darth Vader: “I feel a tremor in the Force. No, actually it was just my special lunch burrito. My bad.” “Ordered a trooper to ready my TIE for action & he said he couldn’t because we’re all out of those little umbrellas. Un. Be. Lievable.”
Stoya (porn star). Her followers were treated to this neat little string of tweets about the kinky joys of doing porn:
“steve holmes, @jamesdeen , and both of my holes. f…ing exciting ”
“no storyline today, just straightup dirty gonzo sex ”
“i wish @joannaangel was here again. im starting to get nervous”
“done. that was AMAZING double penetration is AWESOME”

…er chef for designafdelingen hos apple. Han er et dybt fascinerende menneske men også yderst pressesky. Der findes ikke meget materiale med ham, men her er et youtubeclip.
Dette link går til Microsofts hjemmeside for deres Office-pakke. Klikker man sig derind, kan man se en bærbar, som tilsyneladende afvikler Office 2007 eller lignende. Den er bærbare er bare en Mac:o)
Man kunne jo forestille sig at Microsoft ville benytte en af sine mere – øhm – traditionelle hardware-leverandører når de skal markedsføre deres produkter, og ikke en virksomhed der udskriger Microsoft som værende en fantasiforladt kopifabrik, som spytter det ene fejlbehæftede produkt ud efter det andet. Og med rette, vil jeg gerne tilføje på et personligt plan.
Men jeg har taget et skærmbillede, så det kan dokumenteres hvis nu den store satan beslutter sig for at fjerne billedet.
Jeg faldt over ovenstående kode på det fantastiske internet, hvor man kan finde alt. Og hvad så, spørger du sikkert. Hvis du selv googler koden, så vil du se, at folk talrige steder påstår, at hvis man klistrer koden ind efter en adresse (URL) fra Youtube, så kan man se filmen i High Definition.
Ja, det lyder vildt og jeg har prøvet flere gange – og kan sgu ikke ku se nogen forskel. Tror der er nogen der hiver den stakkels macand i benet, tror jeg sgu.
Kan USA’s pt. hotteste reklamebureau gøre det cool at købe Microsoft?
Alex Bogusky har udvirket mirakler for mange af de helt tunge virksomheder. Han har hjulpet Burger King til at æde noget af deres tærren tilbage fra McD og ikke mindst er det hans bureau, som har stået bag de umådeligt succesfulde og dybt flabede “Get a Mac” reklamer for Apple. Jeg kan kun anbefale at se dem…
Men nu har Alex Bugusky skiftet side. Han har efter sigende fået 300 millioner dollars for at ændre salgskurven for Microsoft og skal nu i gang med de fede kampagner for den store satan med hovedkvarter i Redmond, WA.
Og det bliver da spændende. Personligt tror jeg ikke, at det på nogen måde er muligt at gøre Microsoft sexet eller spændende. I øvrigt fungerer Microsoft jo også på en forældet forretningsmodel, hvor det gælder om at få folk til at købe nye versioner af deres software. Men i dag vil folk ikke have applikationer mere, de vil have services over nettet, som fungerer ligegyldigt hvilken version du kører. “A service beats an application every time”. Det er derfor Microsoft taber til Google i øjeblikket.
Og derudover er Apples styrke -Â udover at de laver fantastisk software, som bare kører – at de producerer hardware, som folk bare må eje. iPod, iPhone, MacBook, MacBook Pro og MacBook Air er de mest eftertragtede stykker elektronik lige nu. Og Microsoft laver bare ikke hardware.
Men det bliver spændende at følge med i Alex’ bestræbelser…
