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.


Rumor has it that Sony Computer Entertainment is planning to launch yet another Firmware update for the Playstation 3 console as done before. What sets this firmware aloof and hence worthy of catching the attention is that this time it would include a Facebook integration, along with some general enhancements in its photo viewing option and an option to customize your game card.

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?

Yet another Common Craft video, this time about blogs:

The web is an amazing equalizer. It brings everything closer. To be precise 8727km closer (the distance from Helsinki, Finland to Silicon Valley, USA).

Andrew Chen recently blogged about Altgate, and as avid reader of anything Andrew posts, I immediately jumped at the opportunity to learn more about Altgate.
