A few weeks ago I exchanged my 2nd generation iPod Nano for a new 4th generation Nano Chromatic one. Since I also have an iPod touch, I use it mostly for Nike++ running, to be a proper geek and get my runs in XML format that then a number of online services can visualize in […]

I always loved the idea of last.fm, oink and similar services that essentially allow you to discover new music and listen to lots of your favorites. The only problem is that last.fm mostly only gives you samples and they’ve shut down most of the music torrent trackers. On top of that, Slovenia still doesn’t have […]

For BlogWorld Expo, Zemanta created a range of buttons (or badges as we like to call it here in Europe) with different themes on them. The idea was to give them a quick way to show what they blog about and make it easier to connect to each other. (Seriously, at blogging events, people come […]

At the SocialMediaCamp London ’08, I noticed an interesting side effect of having such “huge” amount of SNS geeks together – we have totally overthrown the Twitter. Even before the breakfast fully began, #smclondon08 hash-tag was already top trending topic and it continues to be so through out the day. At the time of the […]

Pulling an all-nighter in a startup is not much different from studying really hard for that exam in University or opening a book in high school, when there were so many more interesting things to do. Sociology of social classes (in it’s really simplified form), teaches us that one of the most important qualities of […]
The short answer to Why Slovenia won’t get iPhone anytime soon is that it wouldn’t make sense. When Apple failed to bring iPhone 3G to Slovenia earlier this year, a thousand fanboy voices cried in frustration. Yet when analyzing the ecosystem around iPhone, it makes complete sense. iPhone is not just a fancy smart phone. […]
