Just a few minutes ago www.Sverige-Norge.se reached 24.000 members, which means we now have 24000 swedish people looking for work in Norway. So do you know any Norwegian company that are expaning. Give me a hint.
This is crazy. About one year ago Twitter reached a huge milestone: one billion tweets. Four months ago, five billion tweets were served. And now, in about one day, Twitter should reach another very important milestone: 10 billion tweets .
I read a few days ago an very interesting article about how Twitter in the classroom is boosting studen engagement. Studies frequently discover that greater participation translates into better academic performance, motivation, and a likelihood of adopting different points of view, which is why it is so striking that Twitter can foster that type of communication.
Classroom shyness is like a blackhole: Once silence takes over, it never lets go! In a class of hundreds, the fraction of students who speak up is small, and a still tinier fraction contribute regularly.
For schools hit hard by the recession, Twitter is an inexpensive solution to the growing problem of increasing class sizes. It is a tried-and-true platform to let conversations flourish.
Watch this video with Dr. Monica Ranking of the University of Texas at Dallas. The Twitter Experiment:

Last week I had the opportunity to meet a lot of inspiring people! First out was Daniel Kaplan, one of the entrepreneurs behind Tradera.com, followed by Ebba Von Sydow, Carl Fredrik Sammelli, Urban Bäckström and the young entrepreneurs from “Historiens Bästa Generation”. The day was filled with energy! We had a lot to talk about and some of us stayed up until 05.00 in the morning.
The next day we had a morning meeting and while eating breakfast we discovered that we was in the newspaper (Dagens Industri) which gave me even more energy!
The contest (Entreprenörsjakten) is back! Last year some of the most promising young swedish entrepreneurs and achievers was attending. I was following the final and it was very inspiring to watch. So are you born between 1984-1991 and looking for an adventure then hurry up and apply!
Few minutes ago the winner of the prestige full competition Entrepreneur Of The Year by Ernst & Young was presented and it was Björn Örås the super-entrepreneur with his companies Poolia, Uniflex and Bro Hof Golf.
I really like winners, who doesn’t? They inspire us, they make it happened and they are truly the role models!
Two of my good friends Mikael Blix and Johan Berglund at Sportion Media Group are expanding with a new office in Stockholm. They need new employees and was recently launching this site as the first step in the recruitingprocess: www.stockholmsbästasäljare.se. I like this new website and I’m sure that they will get a lot of applications very fast. When you are recruiting the main thing is to get a big volume of applications, then filter them and pick out the best ones. Mikael and Johan knows what big volumes are – their site is visited by over 400.000 people every week! (This is a Swedish site and we only have 9.3 million inhabitants)
So, go out and check out their site and if you are looking for a job in Stockholm – then apply!
I know that I have not updated my blog since december and I really don’t want to fill out my blog with boring post just for the sake, but now I’m posting it anyway.
The reason why I’m not writing so often are many; I’m moving to Norway, Sverige-Norge.se going great, Young Entrepreneurs of Sweden are taking more time and a lot of other things are coming in between. So next time I post I hopefully have something more interesting to write about. Take care!

When I saw this conceptual video I was amazed what the possibilities are for new technology. The team at Bonnier R&B Beta Lab and BERG tries to make the experience of reading magazines on digital devices to something extraordinary.
They want to capture the essence of magazine reading, which people have been enjoying for decades. I really like this product! What do you think?
