Social by social

Jacob Bøtter — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 10:23:46 +0000

Seems like NESTA is still involved in very interesting projects, and one of the latest “Social by Social” seems likewise interesting. It’s a practical guide on how to utilize social media in your organization. The book can be bought at their site, but also read for free as a PDF. The publication itself is Creative Commons licensed, why doesn’t danish government agencies also publish using CC?

Twittertinget

I recently launched one of the first danish Twitter syndication sites, showing the latest tweets from members of the danish parliament (Folketinget). The site is called Twittertinget.

We’re now doing some new features, do you have any ideas on how to improve the site?

How to build a modern library

Jacob Bøtter — Thu, 01 May 2008 13:51:28 +0000

I went to Hjørring yesterday, and also paid a visit to their local library. I was very impressed by what they had done there. There was a real café that served good coffee, beer and more, it was run by a catering firm, but highly integrated in the library. In the children’s department, everything was play and fun. I took some photos:

Also see the progress video on YouTube.

Stories

Jacob Bøtter — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 18:18:23 +0000

I have a habit, a habit of talking to people that I barely know, usualy in the oddest places, but also the common ones; the taxi, the train, the bus, on the street, in a cafe, etc. So over the years I’ve gotten to hear quite a few stories, and some especially interesting ones in the latter period where I’ve lived in Nørrebro.

That has made me think that I might need to start collecting these stories in some way, and maybe putting them together in some sort of compilation. It could be a book, I’m not quite sure if it’s the right medium.

What do you think? Would you care reading (or hearing, seeing, whatever medium) stories about everyday people that I’ve met? If the idea is a bit too abstract, please let me know and I’ll try and elaborate some more.

Water

With all this talk about global warming, it’s refreshing to see a focus on something as simple as water. Just take a look at this campaign, I have just ordered one poster for my apartment.
