Kirnu web shop is now open. Get a cool Kirnu T-shirt and make your friends jealous.

I have tried several different web 2.0 earnings and now, after 1,5 years, it's time for me to review my actions and plan my future. I wrote an article at cyberantweb.com about my views about the direction of web 2.0 earnings. I'll have to say, that there are possibilities, but there sure are challenges. But if you got interested, how to make money with Weblo, Newsvine, Windows Live, etc., read the whole article.

Yesterday I found a really cool online game: Pandemic 2. First day went with Madagascar problem, but today I was capable to win the game for the first time. I can recommend the game, but I'll warn you about time loss, which is inevitable.

  

So I became an author. My book, Groupware Support for Operational Management was published by VDM Verlag this month. Now I can call myself an author or science author, which sounds actually quite cool.

The book is, what the name says, about using groupware to support the task of the operational management. The work of the operational management is divided to functions (planning, organizing, commanding, control and coordinating) and each function is divided to tasks. The the demands of the tasks are analyzed and the type of interaction, information and knowledge work is identified. Same kind of analyze is done with groupware applications. Then using these analyzes, a model, how different groupware features can support operational management is presented.

If you got interested, order the book

I've been a columnist at NowPublic about two months. My latest article there is about Bumblebees missing, which have had 147 views.

NowPublic is easy to learn and use. But there is one thing, that author should remember: it's for news articles and not for every story.

If you wish to write and get readers, I can recommend the site for you with my NowPublic two months statistics:

Insulting in Internet is a crime of course, but over two years sentence in Finland is arbitrary. Even some killers and rapist do less. With the case of Seppo Lehto blog, Finland's authorities lost the common sense. Was it the Finnish politicians, judges, Vladimir Putin or Mohammed, which was too much?

And I forget to mention... I have a blogger blog in Finish too Hypercyber Paha. I think it good to have a blog for your own language too, where you can write everything you like. List time I was hoping to see Teräsbetoni to win, but that did not happen

Blogger (blogspot) is a company, which Google bought and then integrated to it's architecture. Integration works fine, as you can log into blogger with your Google account and you can add Google Adsense to your blog if you wish.

However with payed blogging Blogger is not that useful. The main reason is, that advertisers wish to avoid places like MySpace, Blogger, Vox etc. places, which are free for users. I have had an Internet blog at Blogger for a year now, but never did payed blogging with it, but I established my own blog with own domain. Windows Live does not seem to be that popular with payed blogging and I have never noticed, that it would be in "not wanted platforms" list.

Blogger has some very useful modules like feed reader, adsense, links, etc, but it never became my thing. Now days I just send few posts to keep the blog alive, but that's all. One thing with Blogger may be, that I have not been able to enter any community there.
