Bloggy is the new microblogging site of choice for Swedes. In a short time the site has gained about 3 000 users and continues to grow. – I was thinking: Can I do this better?, says Jonas Lejon, the man behind the service, to Citizen Media Watch. In Sweden Jaiku has to a large extent […]
Twingly expands its search engine with a brand new microblog search tool. They’ve been working on it for six months and today it was released. In the Twingly blog, they write: When we last summer started to see the microblogging-hype we felt that a search dedicated to microblogs would be a quite natural development for […]
The recently released test site for News Mixer is a tool for discussing news and posting your own. The focus is on Eastern Iowa – the project is a collaboration between the Medill School for Journalism‘s Crunchberry project and Gazette Communications in Cedar Rapids.

12seconds.tv, a lifestreaming/commentary/microblogging service in video format currently in beta, is becoming a popular tool for bringing people’s opinion to established media sites. The site’s built on really short video clips (12 seconds, duh!) recorded by webcams or cellphones. Quick and simple ways to publish oneself, and the time restriction takes away some of the […]
Jonas Nyvang from MySpace talked a bit about MySpace apps and Open Social. – We give 100% of the revenues you can get from the app you develop. We’ve been pioneering the monetization of social networking. Like when Arna and I met him in september last year, he doesn’t want to see Facebook as a […]

Along with a bunch of Swedish bands, LA stand up commedian Pablo Francisco did a gig which was much appreciated by the crowd of Swedish MySpace users and their friends.

I’ve created a separate gmail account for signing up to social networking and social media sites. I thought it was a smart move, since they generate quite a few messages.
