The BBC has a hilarious list of office jargon used at workplaces around the world. Any of the regular readers of now-jailed Martin Lukes will definitely appreciate it.
Pangea Day is a global event taking place tomorrow, May 10th, that aims to bring the world together through film, with the idea that if you could tell something to the world, what would it be? More about it here.
If you are watching Pangea Day and would like to share your experience, this would be a place to start.
You might have read it on the news, or on their blog, but it's out there at share.ovi.com, and it's been live for over a week. With support for storing and sharing over 100 media types, unlimited storage and bandwidth and posting not restricted to the PC, we're very excited indeed, so please send your feedback this way!
We held a Q&A session in Barcelona with selected bloggers (video excrepts below).
And this is how a session like that looks from the other side:
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?
Had a business lunch yesterday here in Tokyo. During the conversation, I realised that over half of the people at the table were living in a different country where they were born: Irish, Finnish, Peruvians in Japan, Germans in China, Mexicans in Finland, etc... Those who were not living "abroad" at the moment definitely had extensive international experience.
Certainly interesting, especially since for us it was completely normal.
I'll be back in writing mode when I land in my final destination. In the meantime, dear reader, you can check out my previous posts.
According to Microsoft, there is about 240 million users of MSN messenger in the world. I believe that a few of them might be interested in knowing that there is now a version of Windows live (including Messenger, Hotmail, Live Spaces and Search) available for use in Nokia devices.
For more information go to www.nokia.com/windowslive, but it is currently available for owners of Nokia N73, N76, N80 internet edition, N93i and N95 in Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sweden, UAE and UK, with more to follow.
Needless to say, we would love to hear your comments about the service.
In Prague, while enjoying the they at a restaurant in the middle of the city, I couldn't help but eavesdrop in another table's conversation. The reason for my behaviour was a 15 year old kid that, after seeing my N95, started to talk about the state of the mobile industry in his country. I was amazed not only by his level of interest, but also by his expertise on the subject. In fact, he knew much more about the situation in his local market and was visibly a Nokia fan.
After seeing his enthusiasm I just had to ask him what his age was. After he did so, I commented that if he would like to work in our industry he should probably study a couple of subjects. It was nice meeting a fan of what you do for a living.
Today I really felt back at work. Even though July is high holiday season in Finland and some parts of Europe, there is enough interesting people and interesting projects to work on. Starting was a little slow, but now we're doing what we're supposed to: helping bring interesting services and devices to consumer's hands.
You may have heard that we're working with Flickr and have teamed up with Vox. What you probably didn't know was that if you're living in Europe you can order prints of your photos (not only in quality paper, but as calendars, posters and teddy bears too).
If you're interested, would you try these out and give me your thoughts?
