  Lots of good people, content and collections advice, community, marketing | (8)

  A few weeks into the contest - lots of good people have signed up and started working on their libraries. I'm always amazed to see the variation in the content that people bring into their Secondbrains - and very happy to see that it's not just Web2.0 that populates the tag clouds. This means that we're able to reach different kinds of people. People like these guys: For example, Julie added lots of content on LARP costumes (Live Action Role Play) . I had never even heard of this before. And now LARP costumes is one of the most frequent referrals ...

  Presenting Secondbrain marketing | (0)

  Last week, we did three presentations about Secondbrain at various venues in Oslo, Norway. It was great to come out of the office and start talking about ourselves again. First Tuesday First out was the First Tuesday event at Rockefeller in Oslo - just a three minute lightning talk - but a great warm up for the rest of the week. We met a lot of good people there and did lots of hand shaking and set a few lunch dates for follow ups with other start-ups and a few investor contacts. I would have been happy with the presentation where it ...

  Winners of the MooCard competition announced marketing | (0)

  It's time to announce the winners of the MooCard competition. We asked all of you to suggest features and priorities for our Beta2.0 release. The winners would get 100 MooCards personalized with snipptets from their Second Brain profile (tag cloud, username etc.) We got a lot of feedback - most of it related to us adding more services. I can promise we're working on that every day. However, two of the suggestions that stood out, and that we're able to execute on in the short term were the following: Add content by generic RSS by weefz Allow people to browse their lifestream by ...

  At Future of Web Apps in London marketing | (1)

  This week, we're at the Future of Web Applications in London. We were lucky enough to get our own booth in the expo area to demo Second Brain. We've been working very hard to get our public release ready in time for the event. Fortunately, we were able to release a preview version just in time for the conference. Beta Preview means that it is open, but that there are parts that are not really finished. It feels great to get it out there and get feedback from real users. Quite a lot of people stopped by our booth, curious to ...

  New Tag Line - All Your Internet Content marketing | (0)

  I decided to change the tag line from "Your Personal Internet Library" to "All Your Internet Content". I got the inspiration to do this from Johan Høgåsen-Hallesby who also runs a good Norwegian blog on technology and user experiences called mykaroshi. He's one of the early Test Pilots and has been very helpful with feedback and support along the way. He wrote me an email saying that we basically have two value propositions: the first being "An interface for all your online content", and the other as a "lifestream" service. The former immediately resonated with me. I found it the perfect introduction ...

  Got a story on Digg marketing, miscellaneous | (0)

  I was browsing early morning yesterday and noticed a reference to iPoor  - the iPhone Killer in one of my many feeds. I thought it was quite funny decided to digg it from the link on the page. I was then taken to the submit story pattern on digg - meaning that no one had submitted it before. Pretty cool, I thought and went through the submission process. Pretty soon I had five diggs, then I went to bed. When I woke up the next morning, the story had 222 diggs and 45 comments - one of them referring to ...

  Early blog-media coverage marketing, press | (1)

  Last week, I had an interview with Folksonomy.org. Michal, their editor, and I, had a chat on MSN Messenger. He was somewhere in California, early afternoon, and I was in my hotel room in Krakow, Poland, late in the evening. It was a new experience to me - and it felt quite 2.0 something to be talking like this with the media. You can read the full article at their web site. I did a quick Google for Second Brain to see how we're doing in terms of rankings. We are moving up on the obvious key words like second brain and ...

  More Polos and a Few Statistics marketing, testpilot | (0)

  Tomorrow we'll be sending out a new batch of Polos. Those of you who have made an order the past few days should receive it in a few days or so. I was checking the traffic patterns the other day, and I noticed some interesting trends. It is obvious that now that we have started talking about our service, people are paying attention. We are getting lots of referrals from Polish sites, where we have been quite active in promoting, and, of course, is the nationality of the development team. Yesterday, people started popping in from stumbleupon.com, so it seems that ...
