EGO

I will conduct a new course (adult education class / study circle) on social media for entrepreneurs in February - March, 2011. The organizer is Medborgarskolan, located in Gothenburg city.

The course is starting on February 24. Part two is on March 3 and part three is on March 10. Time: 5 - 7:45 PM CET. Please comment on the post or send me an email if you are interested in participating in the course, or if you have any questions or comments on the topic. We will have hashtag #Medborgarskolan on Twitter.

From today's daily newspaper, The Gothenburg Post (Göteborgs-Posten):

En grupp som engagerat sig i sociala medier är Social Media Club i Göteborg. Gruppen, som har flera systerklubbar i andra storstäder, samlar några hundra medlemmar som är engagerade i sociala medier framför allt som ett redskap för marknadsföring. Hur det kan göras diskuteras på Facebook eller när medlemmar samlas till lunchträffar en gång i månaden.

Senast handlade lunchträffen just om Facebook. En trappa upp i restaurang Sohos lokaler diskuterade ett 40-tal medlemmar bra och dåliga exempel på hur Facebook används. ("More Power To The People" / "Mer makt åt folket" www.gp.se, October 3, 2010.)

I am in the process of setting up my new Ego Sole Trader site on Squarespace's platform. At the moment it is located at http://EgoSoleTrader.squarespace.com, but it will be moved to my own domain, http://www.EgoSoleTrader.com as soon as the transfer to Nettica is completed. I found out about this service when I listened to net@night with Amber MacArthur and Leo Laporte. Squarespace is a sponsor of net@night. Read Anthony Casalena's post, Squarespace Social Widgets Release.

I will use the WordPress template, Headway for some other site in the near future.
