The new Danish prime minister, Helle Thorning-Schmidt, emphasized in her first official press meeting that meeting the Danes will be a priority for the government from now until Christmas:
“The ministers of the government want to lead when it comes to listening. That’s why there toward Christmas will be made a model where we have a so-called reception for the citizens.

En række amerikanske medier lancerede i torsdags i samarbejde med Facebook en social nyhedslæser-app. Her kan Facebook-brugerne læse artikler fra en række medier gratis i Facebook, uden at skulle over på sitet.

Here’s the main points from my presentation at Nordic Tech Politics in Oslo, Sep 2nd 2011.

An interesting study of nearly 7,000 articles from New York Times shows that the most shared articles are the ones with most emotional content. Positive emotions get shared more than negative, though. Within the range of negative emotions anger and fear get shared more than sadness. Awe also increases the viral effect.
