Updated post: Testing iPad: Will Toys”R”Us buy Apple?

Published by on september 10, 2010

The Testing iPad: Will Toys”R”Us buy Apple? blog post got a lot of traffic and interesting comments. Most of the time I don’t respond to comments about my English because I am a dyslectic blogger but this post got a lot of kind responds – from all over the world. People really like the idea in the post but did not understand it because of bad English (or maybe they were not dyslectic enough).

Updated post: With corrected English (I got help):
Today we tested one of the first iPads that arrived to Sweden. My first question is simple: Will Toys”R”Us buy Apple? Why? Because a lot of Apple’s products are fun toys for big children (and kids are what we call early adapters).

Crush It with Gary Vaynerchuk

Published by on augusti 27, 2010

Some people you meet, stick in to your mind, Gary Vaynerchuk got that kind of unique personality. Did meet him at Gulltaggen where he hold a great speech (see photo). I read his book Crush It and it got the same stick it flavor. Basically the book is about his journey to greatness and life choices he done (I have to double credit his parents for giving us this nature talented speed machine).

The book got me to reinvent the way I think about social media.
Here is my best take a way:
• No one else got my DNA.
• Getting people to talk is the whole point.
• Lots of people can play piano, but not everyone can be Billy Joel.
• You have to think about building your brand in terms of a marathon, not a sprint.
• Creating community is about starting conversations.
• Being willing and able to adapt and change.
• Get a fire under the brand.
