Social media use case

by Maxim on May 15, 2012

Brazilian fashion retailer shows Facebook likes count on clothes.

What I like about it is that they do not try to do social media marketing, but instead try to be actually helpful.

Copenhagen, Denmark and Malmö, Sweden

by Maxim on May 2, 2012

I visited Copenhagen, Denmark and Malmö, Sweden in March, 2012 and want to share some pictures and impressions. From the happiest and the second happiest countries in the world.

It is funny that when I checked the most popular Google query with “Copenhagen” word was “where is Copenhagen” and the most popular query with word “Malmö” was “where is Malmö”. I am sure that you, unlike those guys, have no doubts about the actual location of Copenhagen. So, I will skip the introductory part about Denmark and Scandinavia. Most likely, you can even find Malmö on a map in under 10 seconds. But nevertheless I will tell you that it is only half an hour away from Copenhagen. So, if you have some time left, you might consider taking Copenhagen to Malmo train.

It’s all spiced with a reasonable amount of scientific scepticism that popular self-help books usually lack. However, to my taste Tal speaks [...]
