Top 10 Nordic media RSS feeds

Norway and Sweden seems to be adopting RSS feeds as a way of consuming media to a greater extent than Denmark, Finland and Iceland. Norwegian IT-Avisen is the medium in the Nordic region with most subscribers to its RSS feeds, according to my unscientific mini-study. I’ve been keeping a close eye on how the subscriber base for media RSS feeds in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland is developing and the numbers are growing steadily with some feeds increasing the number of subscribers with more than 50% in just 6 weeks (SR Ekot), based on number of Bloglines subscribers.

Top 10 Nordic media RSS feeds 28 Feb 2005, in terms of numbers of Bloglines subscribers.

1. IT-avisen (N) 157
2. Dagens Nyheter (S) 153
3. Digi.no (N) 151
4. Dagens Nyheter “latest news” (S) 134
5. Ny Teknik (S) 133
6. Computer Sweden (S) 118
7. Internetworld (S) 93
8. SR Ekot (S) 84
9. VG “latest news” (N) 83
10. Dagbladet “latest news”(N) 71

Nooked has launched a directory for corporate RSS feeds. The directory of course has several feeds of its own. This is the feed for the Business category: http://dir.nooked.com/home.dir?location=11&outputType;=rss

Mobile RSS for Swedish MP’s

Richard Gatarski writes that the Swedish Riksdag (Parliament) has purchased 50 licences of doHeadlines, an RSS/newsreader for mobile devices running on the mobile operating system Symbian. According to Gatarski, all 349 members of the Swedish Riksdag have a SonyEricsson P910 and some of them should now be able to get web feeds. (Hat tip to Erik.)

Last spring 54 MP’s took part in a pilot project to make them more mobile.

Doves – Some Cities

doves_some_cities For a guy who grew up being obsessed with A Flock Of Seagulls, it’s with mixed emotions I have taken yet another bird band under my wings. But Manchester’s Doves are becoming one of my absolute favourite bands and my expectations on their third album “Some Cities” were extremely high, maybe too high. The new album is slower, more laid back than the previous two and lacks the kind of majestic grinding tunes like their debut EP Cedar Room or distinct pop songs like Your Shadow (Lost Sides), Caught By The River from The Last Broadcast or Catch the sun from Lost Souls. But it’s a strong album nonetheless which definitely grows on you. The first single to come off the album, Black & White Town, is Doves at their best and several other songs like Sky Starts Falling are certainly up to scratch with their best work. Some compare the album with Oasis, which I think is way off the mark. Had Oasis managed to put out an album of this quality they might still be slightly interesting. “Some Cities” jumped right into the number one spot on the UK album chart this week and rightfully so, I strongly recommend it. My grade: 4/5.

Media watch site takes a pause

Mediekritik.nu, a media watch site where readers can send in comments on articles, debate and hold journalists responsible for what they write, will for some time be operated on a minimal level and the discussion forums will be closed. The site has been up and running for three years and published 600 critical articles, but the individuals behind the site need time to evaluate and propose changes to the site. Due to these changes, Stig-Björn Ljunggren who is an expert in political science, proposes that Sweden needs a special place on the web for rebuttals, where citizens can publish an opposing view of events covered in traditional media. Personally, I feel that many blogs today serve as media watch dogs and the need for a centralized place for rebuttals is very limited. The network effect of the blogosphere probably has greater influence as a media watch dog than any single rebuttal site can have.
