In an upcoming issue of the Danish weekly magazine for women, ‘Femina’, a series of articles will focus on online social networking and its implications for women. And I will be features in this series as a commentator and expert on various social networks, pro’s and con’s, do’s and don’ts etc.

Its quite funny actually. Because this is the second time, I have been interviewed on this subject. The first time was in a live studio interview on Danish Broadcasting Corporations Radio 1, ‘Harddisken’. And this is the second time I have been interviewed on anything relating to new media.

I don’t know when the series of articles will be in, but it should be in one of the coming weeks.

A lot of what I do is to try to be one step ahead of everybody in developing new media habbits. It’s a tough job, but to sell my knowledge, insights and expertise to clients can be even tougher. Because a lot of the time they just simply don’t understand what I’m talking about.

This is why I immediately fell in love with the following quote, I spotted on ConversationAgent:

“Nothing succeeds like mediocrity because everybody understands it so well.”

Look at it and think about it. Because it’s just so true.

What I can’t really decide upon is whether I love it, because it gives me faith that I’m doing the right thing and just waiting for the clients to catch up, or because I’m trying to find a passifier for when the going gets tough? Or maybe I’m just trying to realign myself to new expectations?

Nah….

If you’re looking for someone to spur you on with a web venture, take a look at the presentation David Heinemeier Hansson did at Startup School. It’s unbelievably awsome.

In the presentation David presents his views on whats needed to build a business online.

The presentation is a testament to two things, I’ve always believed:

(1) All free = No business.

(2) You don’t have to be a giant to have a great business.

After having watched this there is no excuse not to follow that dream and build a succesful online business.

Reboot, the Danish gathering of more or less strange and/or inspiring people taking place for two days in early summer every year, has been an on/off experience for me. Sometimes I have had a hard time relating to the spacy subjects being discussed - other times it has been absolutely stellar.

This year the theme will be ‘Free’. But I won’t be there, even though I would actually have liked to, because at the end of June I will be in San Francisco.

But if you’re looking for a conference to get inspired about what’s happening in the tech world, and where the opportunities for doing something fun and worthwhile, Reboot is a very good bet.
