Time for an update for my readers about what kind of person I am and a few things that matter to me. I use Twitter a lot and the lists that people have put me in there summarize me pretty good. What I have not yet been able to be listed as is a dual-citizen (Swedish and American) and my love for traveling and exploring cultural patterns and local parts. I am also very found of organizational learning as well as how to improve the pedagogy in various fields. Transparency and entrepreneurship are two other fields that highly interest me. Most of the rest of the areas I have a burning interest for I have been listed for in Twitter.

A few of my twitter-listings:
Netpolitics
Sweden
Overseas
Advertising-Marketing-PR
SM-Internet
PR-Students
Public Relations
Jonkoping
Communications-Expert
Art-Design-Media
Advertising Folks
PR of Sweden
Creative Marketing
Design
Knowledge
Educators Sweden

The reason why I’m trying to post something daily is not to increase readers, there are a lot better ways to do that. The reasoning behind the constant updates is mainly to produce a lot of content (which hopefully maintains a high level later into this ”experiment” as well).  Producing a large amount of content is good for formulating thoughts into coherent and processed output in various fields. It is also good since I get used to a high production rate, this makes it very easy later on when I step down the tempo.

Having this deadline each day forces me to constantly think about the blog and also about what to write here. It is also good for later on when one needs to get more used by working against daily deadlines. If I get used to it now it won’t be stressful and bad later on. A deadline is also good for me since it forces me to reflect further and more coherent then I would do otherwise. I normally don’t like to write much and tend to focus more on cognitive aspects of information.

[apologise for grammar, logic and dullness in above post that have arised from writing this at 4.30am]

When you’re not a writer by heart it is hard to keep up the writing, you miss a day or two and then suddenly it’s very hard to get started again and back into it. It’s now been more then a month since I wrote on this blog, but now I have a good plan on how to get back into it. But firstly I’ll explain why I have this blog and why I want to write on it.

There are several reasons this blog exists. One of the main reasons is to leave a ‘digital footprint’ and help to build up my ‘personal brand’. This is becoming more and more important in our information age and it is important to control and effect how that personal brand is portrayed through the internet. The second reason for writing this blog is to dig a bit deeper into what I learn and thereby reach a higher understanding at the matter at hand. Writing your thoughts down and taking time to actively reflect on them greatly enhances your remembrance of the knowledge. A third reason is expanding my skill in writing which is a very important skill for me in my future line of work within PR and Marketing. Knowing how to write in a good, fluent and effective way is essential to a lot of work. The fourth and last reason I’m writing here is to share my knowledge and help to contribute to this information age.

So how will I get back into writing here on the blog to reach all my goals with it? First of all I’m going to start being more consistent (this helps since you always know you should write something here). I’m planning to update this blog six times each week, this may seem like a lot but maintaining a high frequency of posts will help me to not miss a few days and lose the writing again. This high consistency will be achieved through structure and keeping my inspiration high (Listening to interesting people, reading blogs, expanding my horizons, networking, starting conversations, books, traveling etc).

On the 20th I’ll start the blogging again with a high activity and posts almost every day.

Currently building up a small buffer of posts and outlining the structure of my blogging. Will rework the design of the blog over the weekend.

I’m currently out traveling so no updates for now. Will create some new posts when I get back on Sunday from my trip in Milano and Switzerland. Different cultures, different cultural patterns, always good for inspiration and knowledge traveling around.

My blog will focus on the same areas as I do on twitter:

Transparency – Net Politics (piratpartiet), Copyright, Integrity
Social Media – Integration, Technology, Web 2.0
Cultural Patterns – Design, PR, Marketing

But who is this person blogging to you?
I’ll make use of some descriptions others made about me and my group-work
