We're on our way to develop and increase the fun of Reb Me and Rebtel on Facebook. From a voting this morning some ideas were sorted out to be prioritized. We'll now be dealing with these, and when these are in the open, Facebook will be nothing close to where it is now!
Looking forward to feedback on the current app and also the improvements when they're out
Inspired by the red paper clip trading, we’ve decided to try the trading business as well. Starting with a simple red eraser, we’re now in the hunt for a trading to something new. So, if you’ve got something laying around that you’re not really using, but would like to trade for a lovely eraser, give me a call (if in Sweden, call 0707166279, if not, click here)
We’ve also created a Facebook group for this trading to be monitored. Check it out here!
Today, I went in to simpsonizeme.com and made my character as I would look like, if being in the Simpsons. Don’t know if it was similar… You decide
Similar? I don’t know…
What is GloCALLization, apart from a word-joke?
Globalization, we all know of. The question is, how will it affect you? In what means can you see that globalization is knocking on your door? Is it when the TV start showing programs and films from other cultures, is it from your trip to South America, is it from the accessability on Internet?
Although the web and media has increased its coverage over borders and cultures, these are still only secondary sources to you. For globalization to step into our lives, we need to be in direct contact with other cultures. Going there is inevitable, but then what? How do you keep the world close?
My perception is that you need to retain the friends you have, no matter where, to keep the world close to you. It needs to be as easy and as cheap as calling your friend on the other side of the street as to call someone in Mexico, Canada or Turkey.
Who knows, maybe, in the future, we'll have those beamers they use in Star Trek (you know, "beam me up Scotty") to be able to go for a coffee on the other side of the globe...
Linus has escaped the office for ScaLDS and the wild happenings on the boat to and from Finland. While he’s having fun, creating agendas and partying, we’ve been working hard to find a substitute for him here at the office.
We had to find someone with the same kind of experience and skills. Most of all, we were looking for someone with the ability to pull some strings.
I’m proud to say that our hard work paid off. Let me introduce you to Mr Rope
Allthough not wearing his Rebtel sweater yet, we’re confident that he’ll blend right in to the team!
A guy with a lot of free time! The original:

Rebtel's spoof:
The Rebtel hippies spent the rainy London-summer running around telling the operators how much we like them. Some liked it, some didn't...
We're two guys from AIESEC who got recruited to work the summer at Rebtel. We're young Swedish students who feel like we got just about the coolest summer-job there is. Rebtel is an entrepreneurial company and they wanted two young aspiring entrepreneurs to take their ideas and go out to make Rebtel more well-known, and here we are.
Anyway, Rebtel's a company that deals with international calling using your mobile. They transfer the calls through VOIP by giving you local numbers to each of your international ones. Sounds tricky? See for yourself!
We'll be posting ongoing on what's happening here and what Rebtel's doing...
Here's how scared I was before going into Telia to hug them. Notice how I discussed around the subject trying to find out relevant reasons not to go in... :-)
We wanted to make Rebtel more viral and Facebook less wired, so the developers here have started building an application that will connect the offline life to the online Facebook life.
Having cool apps on your FB account can make you start playing Super Mario again, take stupid tests, draw out your where-about and many things more. These are all fun in the moment of being online. You feel like you’re coming a bit closer to your friends simply by clicking on your computer.
I, myself, often crave to go offline seeking contact in the more traditional way, taking a beer or calling somebody on the phone. The fact that many of my friends are too far away for drinking with makes me call them more, now that I can without paying so much. The people I’ve met on FB are also in many cases abroad and therefore I feel like taking these contacts even closer even though distance is in the way.
I hope that many people will try the new app as soon as it’s done, so that we can get in contact with these!
