The most popular social network in Denmark, Facebook is about to launch Facebook Deals, which is all about presenting discount for users from companies like McDonalds and 7Eleven. The idea is based on the "check in" GPS function in the Facebook application, and with Facebook Deals users can spot "Deals" from companies or shops in the area, and see if there is a "Deal" like e.g. discount on a McDonalds burger.

If the user/consumer likes the offer, let's say the burger, they click on it, and shows their phone to the staff in the restaurant they will get the burger, and the "Deal" will be announced on the comsumers Facebook wall.


AARHUS. DANISH FOR PROGRESS

Posted by: Søren in Branding

Aarhus is the worlds smallest big city (a former slogan) with around 300.000 inhabitants, where more than 80.000 are students. A city with an young population so to speak. The problem, but also the good thing about Aarhus is, as I see it, the local atmosphere. (The city has everything within 15 minutes on bike - the sea, forest, downtown etc.) The localness of Aarhus is also the city's Achilles’ heel, because of this image the city faces a great future challenge: To attract an international audience, which will be crucial in order to be competitive in terms of economic, but also cultural growth in the future.

Today Denmark's second biggest city Aarhus, got a new corporate identity and brand slogan. The new identity and slogan have been on their way for the last 6 months and is made by London based consultancies Goosebumps Branding Agency and Global Cities.

In 2006 I created a website for my brother, because he was doing okay in the fashion business as a model. And he is actually still doing okay. Today I updated his website with new pictures.

Check it out here: www.christianjorgensen.eu.


Facebook has been around since 2004 and it took five years before the social network succeeded to become profitable (black numbers on the bottom line).

300 million. So many people around the world use today the social network Facebook, and the figure has been high for long. 
Nevertheless, it has taken five years before Facebook managed to get revenue to surpass the cost to operate the site.


TELIA AND GRPS IN FRANCE

I am the happy owner of an iPhone. On my iPhone I enjoy to be online. I also like to be online on my iPhone when I am on vacation in France (I live in Copenhagen, Denmark).

This blogpost is all about how expensive it is to be online via GPRS when you are abroad. I used 18,91 MB surfing the internet in France in 2 days (I have not received the bill for the rest of the vacation yet) and Telia charged me 336, 39 DKK for that. That is 336, 39/18,91= 17,789 DKK. per MB. That is pretty expensive I guess! The rest of the week in France I turned my GRPS off. I do think it is ridiculous price for being online. I wonder if Telmore will charge me the same?
