Two Swedish Eyes on Media and Public Relations
I wrote last month about how the blog of Sweden’s Foreign Minster Carl Bildt was subject to an investigation by the prosecutor because Bildt did not remove hateful comments to some of his blog posts earlier this year. The prosecutor has now decided to close the preliminary investigation, because Bildt did not have the intent to let the comments stay on the blog and he has not shown “gross negligence” in the way he managed the blog.

Do you think that Facebook and MySpace are a load of crap? That so-called “online friendship” is absurd? Then maybe anti-social networking is the thing for you. Wired writes about the two Facebook parodies Enemybook and Snubster.
“For some people, Enemybook is about expressing their distaste for political figures or celebrities. And for other people, it actually is about spreading hatred for their despised co-workers and exes,” MIT doctoral student and creator of Enemybook Kevin Matulet said.
It seems like I was right after all. Swedbank arena is the name of the new Swedish national arena for football. The bank pays 153 million SEK for a contract that lasts until 2023. A peculiar thing is that the football stadium will have the same name as the Swedish hockey team Modo’s home arena in Örnsköldsvik.

The name of the new Swedish national arena for football will be presented tomorrow at 11.15 in Solna. Anyone who can guess which sponsor who has bought the right to name the stadium? Swedbank maybe…?
The stadium will cost 1.8 billion SEK to build and shall be finished by 2011 at the latest. Photos and info here.
