Two Swedish Eyes on Media and Public Relations
Håkan Nordkvist either,
1. travelled through time;
2. is completely wacko; or
3. is blogging to create a buzz about a tv ad for AMF Pension.
I’d go for #3.
I’m not a big fan of marketing stunts that pose as real stories but hey, it’s Friday and I’ll be nice. This is so far out that hopefully most people will see through it. Even a flog can have some charm to it.

Writer, poet etcetera Marcus Birro has just launched his own blog. His comment describes very well how many feel when they get access to their own instant publishing platform.
“Det här är en jävligt rolig grej. Nu när jag läser något som jag reagerar på, så tänker jag på en gång att jag ska blogga om det.”
“This is damn fun. Now when I read something that I react to, I immediately think that I will blog about it.”
But it’s a bit odd that Norrköping’s Folkbladet can write an article about his blog and not give out the web address to it. The blog can be found here.

Gunnar Ågren, Director General of Folkhälsoinstitutet (the Swedish National Institute of Public Health), today started a blog, found here. To my knowledge he is the first blogging DG in Sweden.
One more Swedish PR agency has started blogging. This time it is the Stockholm office of Text 100.

Check this out. Media Culpa is pick of the day, by the Blogger team.
Since there are a lot of new visitors to this blog today, I thought I should seize the opportunity to recommend a subscription to Media Culpa’s RSS feed.

Bloglines is expected to have about a third of the RSS reader market and a guess is that the service is used by at least 2 million people. None (zero, zip, zilch) of them find it worthwhile to subscribe to Expressen’s columnist Lars Lindström’s blog. And he is not expected to get any more friends in the blogosphere after today’s bizarre attack on blogger Magnus Ljungkvist regarding his scoop on Swedish Minister for Trade, Maria Borelius.
Update: For some strange reason Bloglines only found one of Lindström’s feeds this morning. A new search revealed that his blog has three feeds with an impressive total of four subscribers. Sorry ’bout that.
