I would like to offer fellow bloggers some early information about my forthcoming book, Sharkonomics, which is about strategies for attacking market leaders, based on my study of shark behaviour.

The book will be published in March 2012. I even dived with sharks in South Africa as part of my research!

I really hope you will find this of interest to you and your followers. I hope you will find the book summary (pdf) interesting for your followers, it as open pdf, so please feel free to copy the text if you want to use it for your blog, Facebook, Twitter and other social media (just please quote the source: www.sharkonomics.com).

In return for you kindly sharing your interest in Sharkonomics with your followers, I would like to send you a (signed) copy of the book when it is available. Just send me an email containing your link to Sharkonomics. I only have 100 copies to give out, so it will be on a “first come” basis.

If you would like more information or materials relating to the book, or would like to discuss how we could collaborate in any way, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Last week saw the successful exhibition of Nick Brandt’s photography at Fotografiska. It is amazing and nearly unreal to be this close to nature through his photography. Nick’s photographs are probably closer to nature than any other attempts in history. I think his art is so successful because he not only shows nature as we like it to be (like an advertisement showing the beauty of nature) but also because it reflects how we want nature to see us. In other words I believe Nick’s master piece has created a mirror in which we can admire and watch ourselves as a part of nature. This is also a masterful way of packaging art into an commercial framework (nothing wrong with artist who know how to spread and sell art). Check out Nick Brandt’s photography, Facebook and books.

I don’t feel worried about where to go in the future, instead I feel curiously.

Happy New Year. In 2012 will I release my fourth book.

For me christmas is about sharing photos. I did sign up at Flickr and started to share some of my photos with you. Check out my Flickr-time.

Merry Christmas to you and 60 millions on Flickr.com.

According to information from University of Bristol, can now science predict hit songs:

The team found they could classify a song into a ‘hit’ or ‘not hit’ based on its score, with an accuracy rate of 60 per cent as to whether a song will make it to top five, or if it will never reach above position 30 on the UK top 40 singles chart.

Is possible to predict hits in the UK singles charts. We’ve come up with a system for working out which songs are more likely to ‘make it’ in the charts, and also the features which make up the perfect hit.

Interesting science. Many of the science persons where tittle Dr, I think they should have included some tittle Dj to mix hard facts with more soft emotions, in order to understand whats really makes people get up and dance.

Last week in London, I attended a concert with Korean pop (K-pop), it was different, a United Cube concert with different artist. In a world where most music, brands and products are similar trendsetters look for uniqueness to set the standard for tomorrow. For me this concert was more than different. The music, the dance and the performance was like a melting pot off everything in the world from Bollywood to science fiction and spiced up with talented Korean artists.

Watch this video filmed by a fan and showing thousands cameras sending the concert online to friends and fans all over the world. Onstage is the Korean artist Hyuna performing her Bubble pop.

The whole concert was like a YouTube event – never seen so many cameras live. When will brand performance become as unique as K-pop – worth filming and spreading?
Thanks to Martin and Jennifer for introducing me to K-pop.
