Dear valued reader,
This is one of the topics I find most interesting and insightful. Enjoy!
The term ”Internet” has to most people become equal to the ”World Wide Web”, though it’s not. Many communicators focus all their efforts to site-centric technologies with the exception for mass-email outreach. Users are cultivated using various tools like “forward [...]

One trillion dollars. That is what the US spent, combined with indirect costs and losses, on the war in Iraq so far.
One million million dollars.
Get some perspective:
The calculated cost to eliminate starvation and malnutrition globally: 19 billion dollars.
The calculated cost to provide education for every kid on earth: 12 billion dollars.
The calcutated cost to provide [...]

I’m currently trying to do something extraordinary, even by my standards!
It’s a potential deal in the US that could lead to some great business opportunities for Asaasco and extra viral powers for a contemporary progressive political movement, if you know what I mean…
Anyway, I really got some serious returns this week from my notorious [...]

Well, summing up the first day of service at www.giversign.se I must realize that it’s July and the whether is blazing… Only about 10 people found their way in and created an account.
But hey, let’s look at in from a different angle:
The first day we managed to channelize donations and commitment that will help World’s [...]

My space-ship has left the ground! www.giversign.se
Now, let us hope that this concept will prove itself VIRAL and sustainable. It is still a beta-release but now open to anyone (in Sweden). Join the revolution!

I love this guy called Obama:
“I’m in this race to take those tax breaks away
from companies that are moving jobs overseas
and put them in the pockets of hard working
Americans who deserve it. And I won’t raise the
minimum wage every ten years – I will raise it
to keep pace so that workers don’t’ fall behind.
That is [...]

Asaasco’s GiverSign has been suggested for a Technology Pioneer 2009 Nomination by the World Economic Forum. It will be very interesting to see if the Selection Committee at WE Forum will and can recognize GiverSign as a revolutionary communication concept. There is no doubt about that I would love the opportunity to go to Davos [...]

This man, and his campaigners… The movement is such a breath of fresh air, and this is a statement in more ways than the most obvious. Obama is bringing change to America, his campaign buzz-word, before he has even been elected. I hope I get the chance to do my part one day, for cash… [...]

It’s amazing how far from the actual cause campaigners will (and obviously can) go in today’s environmental advocacy campaigns. It must be that environmental campaigns are now so exposed to competition that “finding the unique twist” is taking over the actual message. Just look at this connect2earth campaign. I just HAD TO watch it but [...]
