After read­ing Rus­sell Beattie’s post on lis­ten­ing to pod­casts while he com­mutes and see­ing the iPod click-wheel illus­tra­tion I thought of some­thing: Wouldn’t click-wheel hub­caps be a nice way to tell your fel­low com­muters you’re totally clued in?

Com­put­er­world, I er ikke just spæn­dende i forve­jen, men hvis der ikke er flere pressemed­delser I kan paste ind som egne artik­ler, og bevæger jer ud for at skrive selv, så sørg lige for at jeres interview-ofre har noget spæn­dende at sige. Man er i sin gode ret til at bruge nøjagtig de værk­tø­jer man vil, hey — måske de egner sig per­fekt til opgaven…men det er jeres opgave at overveje, om det kan have nogen værdi for andre overhovedet.

Minor changes in the Base­camp pric­ing struc­ture (which is just fine and not the point), com­ments from the cus­tomers. While old news in the won­der­ful com­mu­nity of the inter­web, that ‘mar­kets are discussions’-thing sure is some­thing, huh?

After 9/11 that cer­tainly isn’t easy, but I’ll let you in on my secret as I actu­ally stole the idea from some of the big (Dan­ish) play­ers in the busi­ness, Jubii and B.T.… With­out ruin­ing the over­all graphic design of your page, a sim­ple logo in a colour you don’t con­trol, gen­tly takes over your back­ground.

Sony, Apple etc: Please remem­ber that you’re in a damn for­tu­nate sit­u­a­tion when you have peo­ple all around the world talk­ing about you — good or bad — long­ing for your prod­ucts, try­ing to guess your next move, prais­ing a lot of the stuff you do, keep­ing your brand alive. We all dis­cuss, engage in con­ver­sa­tion — how come you think you can act com­pletely dif­fer­ent, com­mu­ni­cat­ing through gun­slinger lawyers, expos­ing your fear of not con­trol­ling a sit­u­a­tion that’s really not that bad, but that of course might show room for improve­ment?
