megastarmedia — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 03:03:38 +0000

It’s been over three years since Geek Meet Gothenburg February 2007, so it’s about time for another one. Like last time, this event will take place at the NetRelations office in Gothenburg, Sweden. The date is March 24, 2010.

We’ll be talking about the usual web geek stuff, likely with a bit of emphasis on HTML 5 and other up-and-coming web things. Check out Geek Meet Göteborg – the sequel! on the NetRelations blog for the details and to sign up.

Reverse chronological order comments

megastarmedia — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 03:03:04 +0000

Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but I don’t get why some sites display reader comments in reverse chronological order. It seems especially popular on newspaper sites, which also for some reason tend to use paging for comments. I think the combination of reverse order and paging makes trying to follow discussions very frustrating.

Still, since more and more sites seem to display comments this way I guess there are some people who actually prefer comments displayed backwards, so it is probably here to stay.

SPOS #193 - Media Hacks #26

megastarmedia — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 03:03:55 +0000

Welcome to episode #193 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. This is also episode #26 of Media Hacks. The Ninja (aka Christopher S. Penn) talks about his new gig at Blue Sky Factory, but the main thrust of the conversation is about what happens to a company when someone with a major personal brand (like Ninja had for the financial aid industry) leaves and starts in another industry? What happens to the brand? How trusted is the personal brand of the individual? Along with that we graze through a bunch of topics from mobile and iPhone apps to the pending launch of the iPad. We even take a sneak peek at where C.C. Chapman won’t be during SXSW (hint: it’s in line waiting to get into parties) and have a chat about the power of email for Marketers (and where it’s going), plus lots more. Enjoy the conversation…
