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.
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:
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!
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?
So, it’s a bit controversial to say that you increase your IQ by playing video games but in fact the studies from Confederation of Swedish Enterprise shows us this is the truth. So next time you tell your kids to stop playing the video games you might think one more time.

I’ve just got a study send by me from Leif Näslund on Chef.se made by Stockholm School of Economics that shows how unprepared the Y-generation are when they’ve finished their studies and starts their new jobs.
According to the study our generation’s attitude is all wrong. We can learn new things fast and we want to but we don’t want to take big responsibilities and handle conflicts. And the fact that we are missing out how to negotiate is a big problem too.
So please read the study and I hope you will get an eye opener as I’ve got. But now when we know what our employers wants – adept and become a great leader!
I watched a seminar with Teo Hären from Interesting.org about how you can improve your creativity. You have to start practice! And yes, you can practice to be more creative. Watch this seminar (in swedish) or visit his homepage. It’s worth every minute!
I hade the opportunity to inspire and learn some of the most promising young male students in Sweden and Norway about leadership at an conference in Strömstad last Friday. I used an Prezi slideshow with some headlines. You can view it here:

Entreprenörsdagen was an event Wednsday 4:th which celebrated 15 year this year. A very nice event with lots of familiar faces. Navid Modiri and the participants of Idepedia made a new worldrecord in idea creativity. Under 3.65 hours during “Entreprenörsdagen” they created over 1000 new business ideas which now are published at Idepdia. Maybe one of the ideas is meant for you?
Navid Modiri, Idepedia Founder:
“Like Wikipedia but for ideas, and people who want to come up with ideas but don’t necessarily want to work them through themselves, but to share their ideas, so widepedia is a kind of open source bank of ideas.”
Fredrik Hallberg & Navid Modiri talked about Open Source
