I know this may sound a little boring, but I like statistics. I like to measure things - especially on the web. And when working with web and business measuring is important.
Yesterday I found the website BuiltWith and BuiltWith Trends, which provides weekly updated free information about the most popular technology used on the web across all areas of web technology.

Twitter is integrated into iOS 5, so you can begin tweeting directly from Safari, Photos, Camera, YouTube, and Maps along with third party apps. This is a very cool move from Apple and the reactions have until now been very positive. Personally I like the feauture very much since Twitter is my first choice in the social media landscape.
I use Twitter as information and inspiration media, and I am also a little active on Twitter myself (but not as much as I wish). Apple has been leading the digital development for the last decade and the big question is if Twitter will see even more users after the Twitter integration in IOS 5?

Steve Jobs died today. He changed the world and the way we think and use technology. And he created some of the best computer, phone and hardware products ever made.
If you would like to share your thoughts, memories, and condolences, you can email Apple on

Last week I was playing around with Facebook and Twitter login on my Joomla website. I managed to get it up and running with both features integrated, but I have to admit that it was kind of buggy since I was only able to login successfully every second time. So I decided to drop the Facebook login and went for the Twitter login only. And it works flawlessly.
So basically, if you need a Twitter login for your Joomla website I can recommend the MiniJomTweet component. The component includes a sign in module and an authentication plugin and all you need to do is to get an API key from Twitter. And the installation is easy.

A little month ago I attended a morning seminar about apps for smartphones arranged by DIS/PLAY and Greener Pastures. On this seminar the app company Greener Pastures told us how they experienced the development with Danish apps - an uphill business until Danske Bank launched their app for iPhone and later on for Android smartphones.
Greener Pastures told the audience, including me, how important design and usability is - when you design an app. It is so different from making a CMS website or a regular website - you can tell when you download an app - and you don't like the design or navigation: Delete!

Through my job as a digital consultant I came across QR codes, which is the initialism of Quick Response, a few times. A QR Code is a matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code), readable by QR scanners, mobile phones with camera, and smartphones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on white background and the information encoded can contain website URL’s, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and other personal messages or data.
QR Codes was created by Toyota subsidiary Denso-Wave in 1994 and the QR code is one of the most popular types of two-dimensional barcodes and it's widely used in primarily Japan and Asia - but because of the rising use of smartphones and mobile phones with integrated camera the use and potential with QR codes or mobile tags are to be seen everywhere in the public space, advertising campaigns, events, museums, super markets and so on. The potential is huge - and eg. Calvin Klein has already used QR codes in a marketing campaign. QR codes can be used both in offline or online marketing campaigns - I guess the only barrier is your creativity.

Facebook's newest attempt to conquer the Internet is the "Like" button - where Facebook users in a second can give "thumbs up" to any kind of Facebook post. Facebook's famous little blue like buttons remain no longer within Facebook's own territory. Web developers and programmers have for quite some time been making "like" plugins for blogs, and the "like" button is now spreading rapidly all over the internet.
If you have never seen the "like" button - here it is:

The iPad from Apple has arrived. In this video it is not Steve Jobs presenting the iPad, but president Obama himself. It is quite funny.
