We continually spent more time online – now an average of 13 hours per week. Facebook connectivity increases within new demographics, and the voice of oppressed groups is strengthened online. The platform for social and real-time web is the communities that place the individual in the centre, with tools that helps us construct the story of our [...]
Being a woman in tech, men will outnumber you at most occasion, and the big question is why are there so few women in tech? I attended Geek´n Rolla on April 21, where there was a panel discussion on the matter, and it really engaged the audience. Some of the reasons mentioned for the lack [...]
In the analogue world mentorship relations are often initiated by a physical meeting and if continued it is a quite anti-social and confidential conversation between the protégé and mentor. Creating Mentory made us question if the analogue process is the best way to run your mentorship. As a believer in sharing, participating and being open, [...]

A few years ago I was participating in creating a open office at work. It really looked nice, everyone could see each other and the thought was that we should change seats every day, in order to meet new colleagues. I must admit, being an extrovert person, it was really hard for me to concentrate [...]
I am in a meeting so I will not be able to read your mail the next 2 hours. This is an example of time consuming information overload, probably with the best intentions. But I am not interested in spending time on reading that you’re not available. Instead write me when you are, and if [...]

Television has a show with people presenting there inventions and ideas to a board of mentors. Is it a buzz or are we just starting [...]
