What do I know about business and corporate blogging in Estonia?

The good, the bad and the ugly: Meelis Mandel, Editor in Chief, Äripäev Meelis chooses some Estonian business blogs and says what's good or bad about them in his opinion.

Hello folks! We’ve less than one hundred kilometers in distance between Tallinn and Helsinki. The birds can travel this distance very easy but how well do we know the blogosphere and business practices in our neighboring countries?

It very quickly occurs to me that that the Finnish bay is much thicker borderline than we tend to think. Estonian businesses is a big question mark for me. Tourism is one of the areas where people know a few brands. The same goes for liquor, beer and some household products.

It seems like we still live a very separated lives within our national economies. How could that be changed with Web 2.0, social media, blogs and microblogs? We’ve the tools but there has to be some common areas of interest before we start to connect. 

Natural iTraining in Finland as a spin-off of innovaatiojuna

I’m learning the logic of the Google Buzz. The iTraining emerged as a result of the innovaatiojuna / innovationtrain.

The new challenge is how to continue a process that started in September 2009.

Social Collaboration is seemingly a very instantaneous process but I think that we can foster some long term projects and goals as well.

Innovaatiojuna was an important self-organizing project and was manifested in the January 13. 2010 journey Helsinki – Oulu – Helsinki.
