Second Thoughts

Until last week, we’ve focused mostly on international media coverage. But last Thursday, dinside.no published an interview with us and this kick-started our Norwegian launch of S|B.

Dinside.no is one of the largest online news portals in Norway. The did a pretty thorough article on us, with pictures and a video interview. The video thing was a “first time” for me and felt a bit awkward, but I think with a little bit of editing it will be OK. The rest of the video interview will be live on Klikktv.no on Friday. The reponse on the dinside.no was great and the server couldn’t handle the load. But we got a new server online on Friday with a quad core processor and lots of RAM, so that should help, at least for another week or two.

Then on Saturday, Finansavisen, the largest financial newspaper in Norway, did an article on us. They wrote about our plans to raise money to take Secondbrain to the next level in their paper edition.

And finally on Sunday, vg.no – Norway’s largest tabloid did a post on us. The article was short and sweet, but they didn’t include a link to secondbrain.com in the article – something which I find a bit strange for an article online about something online… I guess it’s their editorial policy and we are more than happy to be introduced to the VG readers.

The Secondbrain Team is very exited about all the Norwegian users that are joining. In fact, we were a bit surprised about the response. We will try to further fuel the momentum in Norway this week as well as focusing on international media for the Beta 2 launch on Thursday. Maybe some of the Norwegian media will do a follow-up?
