In Gothenburg today, five Swedish thought leaders spoke on different subjects within creativity: fashion designer Bea Szenfeld, copywriter Per Torberger, communications author Bo Bergström, digital strategist Joakim Jardenberg and creative director Johan Ronnestam. A great day for anyone working in communications or marketing, with everything from basics to thoughts on future trends. Here are the results of my live blogging

One day after being in the world press limelight for a premature terrorist tweet (that ended up to be 100% correct), Sweden’s foreign secretary Carl Bildt was suspended from Twitter. And so the speculation started. @jmacfear: If @CarlBildt account was suspended by US officials, we are going nowhere really fast.

So, how come I am in Turkey blogging for Nokia during the world championships in basketball? It’s actually part of a wider strategy of Nokia and word of mouth marketing bureau 1000heads from London. As a digital PR nerd, I really like that strategy! Nokia might not be topping the sales lists in Western Europe and the US right now,

My life is pretty much sponsored by Twitter right now. It’s starting to get to a point where it’s becoming silly really, just look at my Tuesday; I got up to go to work at Drivhuset, a job I got thanks to Twitter: it was announced by my new boss a Tuesday morning a couple of months ago. I started

The other day, Swedish blogger Emanuel Karlsten (Google Translate it!) quoted an unknown source about the difference between Facebook and Twitter: “Facebook is for friends that are now strangers, Twitter is for strangers that should be friends” Really like that quote, and the little more nastier ones that has being going around as well. “Facebook is for the friends you had
