Rather than post updates visible to everyone it’s becoming all the more common for people to interact in groups on social media. In Sweden, the national study “The Swedes and the Internet 2018” (Svenskarna och Internet 2018) shows that Groups are the second most common reason why we choose to be active on Facebook today. I’m therefore not surprised that Facebook has chosen to launch their ‘Community Leadership Circle’ initiative to help local group admins come together to create a positive impact on society.
5 learnings from Webbdagarna 2019
Today I had the honor to be part of the editorial team at Webbdagarna in Stockholm for the third time, getting a front-row seat to the headline speakers at Sweden’s largest event for digital business. I thought to summarize my key-takeaways and learnings from day one, since new ideas are always key to succeeding and staying on top in a digital world.

Co-working has grown immensely in Sweden during the past years, and especially in Stockholm. As a freelancer I often find myself working from different co-working spaces around the city, meeting with people and attending talks and workshops.
The future of the internet – breakfast talk with Akamai and Tom Leighton

Digital tools for the remote team
Working remotely is becoming all the more common, both for startups and established companies. As a freelancer, I’ve been working remotely for the past four years – supporting clients in Sweden, UK and the US with the help of digital tools. Svenska Nomader is also a location independent business – and we run the company entirely remotely, most of the time based in three different countries and time zones. Soon coming up to the two year mark since we founded the community, I thought to share some best practice tips for digital tools to use to support a remote team.
