Jag börjar på Iconvert

Idag blev det (äntligen) lite mer officiellt att jag börjar hos Iconvert. “Om”-sidan kanske blev lite krystad, men så skrevs det i all hast också. Och ja, ny sajt för Iconvert är på gång.

Since you came here there have been …

Came across “Gary’s Social Media Count” today via Ronnestam. If this doesn’t have the famous “wow factor”, I’m not sure what does. All of these stats fits in quite well with the recently released “Did You Know?” from The Economist.

Unbelievable, wouldn’t you say? Kudos to Gary.

AdWell Media – Invest in a new website please!

To my knowledge, AdWell Media was founded early 2009 by TV4.se’s previous Director of Sales Erik Hamberg. They immediately closed deals with some impressive (Swedish) partners including Newsmill, Booli, AllaAnnonser, and Feber.

One small detail that seem to have been lost in the creation of the company is; a professional website. I’ve been having a draft post about this for a long time, I first named it “Here’s your new site AdWell Media!” thinking I’d be kind enough to provide them with a PSD-template of what one would expect of their site. But as time is of the essence and limited, you can outsource that. It doesn’t have to be something spectacular, just something that doesn’t look cheap, has poor quality images, and nothing but contact details. It’s almost as if it’s parked.

I’m sure you’re great at sales and very successful, but this does ooze of unprofessionalism to me.

So please AdWell Media – invest in a new website. Who knows what new partners that might give you?

Footytube named among the top 25 football websites

Wow, this is great news from the team behind one of my favorite websites, FootyTube. In a recent article by Steve Wilson of The Telegraph (UK), FootyTube was named one of the top 25 football sites on the web, despite still being in beta. My many congratulations for all of the hard work! It’s finally starting to pay off.

There are of course a couple of other good spots on the list. Two of my other “must read on a daily basis” tips would be Soccernet, closely followed by BBC Football. You can also read what Lee of FootyTube thoughts are on the list, and what he feel was missed.

A site I didn’t know about, which I found through Lee’s post is Footballfilter, it’s sort of a popurls-clone, a mashup but with football sources only. Being a frequent flyer of the iPhone, I have to give Footballfilter credit for the Instapaper integration (hover over an article and check the right-hand side) as well as the use of RPX (OpenID and data portability). This is the way to go and I love it!

Before I knew about the top 25 mentioning, this post was going to be on openfooty, FootyTube’s own API (featured below) which is currently in a closed beta.

Introducing openfooty from ofproject on Vimeo.

As of now, openfooty promises to be the most advanced completely free football API available. It offers access to much of the data that powers FootyTube on a daily basis; including fixtures, league tables, team standings, player data, team news, and of course, video. From the sound of it, it sounds as if FootyTube will prevail in this space through opening up their data to developers – something I’m of course in favor of.

I hope it won’t be too long until FootyTube shows us what other fans, users, and developers have created with openfooty. Really looking forward to it!
