T-post: Wear a magazine and get a unique t-shirt

Ok this is one of the coolest things I have discovered online lately. And when I saw that it was a Swedish idea I got really proud. :)

T-post is “the world’s first wearable magazine”. You actually wear the post like a t-shirt. But that’s not the coolest thing about it. For every post they people behind the idea write they send it to a graphical designer who then makes a graphic design out of it which is printed on the t-shirt. The post itself is also printed but on the inside of the t-shirt.

To get your hands on one of these also really good looking t-shirts you should sign up at their homepage since you won’t be able to find it in any store. You can of course also follow them on their blog, Twitter, Facebook and Youtube.

The Pact – crowdsourcing movie making

I stumbled upon a project (and an upcoming movie) called “The Pact Project“. The whole idea is to create a movie with the help of you people out there. You can contribute by for instance commenting dialogs, come up with ideas for the story or by supporting the project with a donation.

I think it’s a very interesting idea and I must say I was a bit surprised when I saw that it was a Swedish crew behind it. Finally a use of social media and video that doesn’t scream marketing and viral videos but that actually want’s to do something new and exciting. Not something I’ve seen a lot from other Swedish brands, companies or people in general for that fact.

I also think the story looks very interesting:

The crew behind the movie explains their idea:

I love the remixing part of it all and that the movie will be available for filesharing. I really hope they get the attention they deserve and that people actually contribute in different ways. Looking forward in seeing the results!

We live in public

Last week on the flight to Stockholm I listened to an episode of Net@Night (part of the Twit-network) with Leo Laporte and Amber MacArthur.

As always the show was very interesting. This time though the show was a bit different, usually they talk about different tech headlines and invite one quest for an interview as a part of the show. This time the whole show was that interview. I understand why they couldn’t only make it a part of the rest since it was so interesting.

I won’t tell you what the whole interview was about (you’ll have to listen to it yourselves) but they talked to some of the people behind the upcoming movie “We live in public“. For sure it made me very eager to go and see it. Unfortunately though it seems like it will only be screened in the US, at least for now. I guess it will be possible to find it online though for people like me that have a hard time waiting…

“The Bunker” sounds and looks like a really scary place and the fact that I’m blogging about this, sharing it in my Twitter feed and probably also on Facebook makes me a part of it all doesn’t it. Internet can be a beauty but it can also be very scary and make me think about shut down, get offline and start growing vegetables on a farm far away from all this sharing and caring. One thing I do think this movie will do is to make all of us that sees it think about what we are doing online and if it really makes us feel good or if it is making us a bit mad…

If you want to follow We live in public – the movie to see what’s going on and when the movie will be available to you, they use all kinds of social media tools there are out there:

- Twitter
- Flickr
- Facebook
- Wikipedia
