So, as you know, we recently launched certain new products and services at an event in Barcelona (that I didn't attend this year). I've been following the reactions to this in social media for a while, and of course am a heavy user of our own services.
Now imagine my pleasure when I check Mexico City in Ovi and I find this:
I knew that we had 3D landmarks, but seeing so many in Mexico City (especially the Angel of Independence) just brought a huge grin to my face. Especially since I'm so far away from there, and won't go back this Christmas.
Comparing this with, say, Big Brother, it's no wonder that people are starting to spend more time online than watching TV. Even when the original content comes from TV.
My still not that long career has taken me from very different roles. As an engineer, started in a technical area around content management, then moved to product/project management, followed by sales support for different (but related) businesses and now, starting on the 1st of January, will be doing e-marketing for specific services.
Since the area itself is so new, there is a lot to learn, but the reason that drove me to take this position is simply that this is where marketing is moving.
Any hints?
User Tomektore created a very interesting web app to measure how open mided a specific last.fm user is. His Open Mind Index is calculated from the number of different tags the music that a user listens to has. I checked it out and my results are quite obvious: if I listen to Arabic electronica, Japanese punk, Finnish melodic rock, Mexican indie and some other stuff in between it's kind of obvious that I'm more or less open minded.
I have been too busy to tell you guys about this application, now available in Beta labs. Basically, the support for posting to Vox and Flickr just got much better, with better tagging and the possibility to follow the photostreams of others straight from your mobile device. Darla Mack has a good review of the app.
Please give us your feedback (here or, faster, at Tommi's blog).
You can now add your enemies too! Hilarious.
Was reading the Groundswell blog and found a series of different online communities for all sorts of different purposes. One that definitely caught my eye was Design your portion of the border fence, where people are invited to submit designs for graffitti that would be placed on the American or Mexican sides of the barrier the U.S. government is building between the U.S. and Mexico.
Definitely a creative way to raise awareness of a current issue.
It might be a good idea to use Dopplr. Interesting, simple concept: write down where are you going to be and share with people that need to know. They even have a Facebook app/plugin.
