First episode of our Swedish project Svisp TV (Swedes in Spain) is out. I interview Anne-Li Lindskog that has lived in Barcelona for 3 years about why she moved here, what she like most about it and what she is looking forward to right now… See for your self:

I det första avsnittet av Svisp TV intervjuar Linda exilsvensken Anne-Li Lindskog som har bott i Barcelona i tre år nu.
Today we are launching one of our other projects called TorsdagsSurr. It’s a Swedish web radio channel in which me and Tomas Nihlén talks about the future of entertainment online. Read more about it (in Swedish) at TorsdagsSurr.se and listen to our first episode of the NEW TorsdagsSurr (has been reborn into a new suit and on its own platform).
In this episode we talk about how we see more and more “live action” within the entertainment industry, to charge or not to charge for content online and finally how music is becoming more social online.
Enjoy!

Like Virgin and Google we at Urban Lifestyle have huge visions and so many ideas. Too many and too little time. The only difference is that we are only two persons and they are hundreds and ok maybe a slight difference in cash flow as well Well ok maybe there are more differences than that but the thing is that we want to do what we love and that’s to work with online video and audio and to bring some passion and geekiness into it. Just wait and see…

Today the Swedish online video streaming service Voddler “The magic world of movies” is being launched. So far it doesn’t work for Mac-users 
but I’ve seen tweets about it being available for Mac users sometime during next week. If that’s true I’m a happy bee
According to an article in the Swedish newsmagazine DN Voddler will not only be about movies and TV-series but will also stream music in the future. This means an other Swedish well-known service, Spotify, will get some competition. Spotify is still way ahead when it comes to users and the amount of PR the service has gotten during these past few months. And I do belive in finding your nisch when it comes to the Internet, people want to go where the best content is. The fact that Voddler is aiming towards gather both movies, TV-shows and music in one place is interesting though.
I must say I’m a bit excited about this one and I have big expectations. The big question is will people be willing to pay for the service? The will use pre-roll ads in the movies but when you think about all the costs the service must have that probably won’t be enough. Like Spotify they will also have some sort of a premium version. If the service is really good and the library of movies is big enough I do think it has got a chance to survive. I think it’s important though to get the movies up there as quick as possible when released. If you could stream a movie as a premium user at the same time as it’s being released on theaters that would be something! But I suppose the movie industry hasn’t realized that DVD releases don’t have to come after the theaters, they are two different experiences. Only time will tell if the dreams over at Voddler will come true or not…
