LNR BLG is written or aggregated by Linnar Viik. I promised to analyze the Estonian blogosphere based on recent experiences from the Tallinn BlogFest 2010 eSocial at Hotel Olümpia May 25, 2010. The LNR BLG is written in English and spotted it at Blogs station but I still need to learn who Linnar Viik is. 

USA does still inspire the development of blogging in the Nordic and Baltic states. Sweden has a number of very successful female fashion bloggers attracting huge numbers of readers and up to 200 comments of a single posting isn’t unusual.

I wrote this blog posting six years ago. Blogging was a new trend on Internet at that time. People started to speak about social media. A few years later the microblogs became popular. Now, hundreds of millions are blogging. My first personal attempt to “blog” started 1997 with Wiirila Werkossa Wiikottain. It contained short stories about my life in the small village (Wirby the Global Village) where I was born a long time ago.

I will be speaking about Social Media Connecting Industries and Clients in Tallinn, Estonia May 25, 2010 and presenting what Finland and Estonia could do together: The Prospects of Open Innovation and Collaboration between Finland and Estonia, Helge V. Keitel (Finnish/English).

I have been working at Ambientia for a month now and to celebrate it I started blogging in Ambientia´s new blog. You will find my blog posts from here. And sorry for my foreign readers, I use only Finnish there, so I add a Google translation for you about the first entry. I am too lazy to update the links or to add the photo, check them from the link above.An Ambient of the month

Less blogging, more thinking. I've been spending several weeks of effective off-line work.It has been a good change for a while. My blogs are certainly not going to change the world.They might change my own life: that's a realistic goal.The economic crisis isn't over yet. Dubai World is almost bankrupt. What will happen if it collapses.

Now this was a clever video - and only 215 hits so far. Kennedy and Nixon are debating about wikis and blogs.

I have no idea how many blog postings I've written since I started. There is no time for festivities or celebrations even though I'm returning back from a somewhat lazy summer vacation in Sotkamo, Kainuu, Finland.Various forms of presence in the blogosphere is a necessity, even though the global economic situation doesn't motivate businesses and consumers to do Shopping like crazy online.

Wolfgang Luenenbuerger wrote ‘Digital Home vs Digital Gypsiness‘ an interesting post on which I initially wanted to comment but then opted to give more space to my thoughts on this post.
Did you read Wolfgang’s post? Cool so we can move on.

I read a book by Janne Matikainen: "Verkko Kasvattajana" (2008). In the end of the book there´s a term bank which was quite interesting. I now share the blog terms:-Blog, a web log, is a web page containing topical content, old entries stay unchanged, there can be one or more bloggers and usually people can comment the blogs. -Audience blog is hosted in a blog portal provided by a media company to be used by its audience or readers.-Citizen blog is a blog hosted by someone who wants to affect to the society

Yahoo has finally closing its blogging service 360 after 2 years of the first warning. It is suggesting to use the blog in Yahoo's Profile service instead. Oh my. I haven't seen anyone using that blog publicly but my friend moved her posts there and the user experience was very poor (e.g. no tags, no monthly archives, no themes, hard to navigate, hard to follow). The profile page seemed to me like a Facebook undressed.

So far I have been interested only in the Finnish blogs and used Blogilista for finding new blogs but now it's time to go little bit further. Yesterday I found Blogged and added Hidden treasure 2.0 there. Blogged is a service listing blogs by topics. The moderator rates the blogs but also the users can do the same.

Yesterday I told you about the bookmarking by Yahoo. After that a friend mentioned that Google is also offering bookmark support and that made me to think about Yahoo and Google and their services.

So I was the follower #100 in YleX and because of that I was interviewed in their blog. For the readers who cannot understand Finnish, here is the translation: Moi jjanhone! How does it feel to be our 100th follower?Great - it's like being part of VIP team ;).Tell about yourself?
