Tommi wants his fellow Nokia employees to tell him what to blog about

Straight from Tommi’s blog:

 Tommi wants his fellow Nokia employees to tell him what to blog about

As you know, I have recently started in a new job position, and I still want this blog to be valuable for both the readers (=end-users) and for Nokia (NYSE: NOK)/S60. Or to be accurate, I want to make it even better.

But how to do it in practice?

There’s one thing that I have learned during the last year: blogging = talking + listening. So, the best way for me to make this blog valuable, I believe, is to integrate both the talking part and the listening part as closely as possible to our daily work.

In practice that would mean:
– writing with an insider voice about the stuff we do in Nokia/S60, or have recently achieved
– collecting feedback from the readers and feeding it back to the actual development process

What do you think: is this the right approach?

Dear Nokia people in my own unit and elsewhere: feel absolutely free to contact me (tommi dot vilkamo at nokia dot com) if you want me to:
– spread the word about something you think is worth attention
– ask questions from the readers (e.g. "What do you think about our new application?")

Ps. I think there are currently a couple of thousand regular readers, some of whom are very knowledgeable, insightful, and/or influential. Consider them as a focus group with steroids, if you will.

Hmmm tempting. I really wish I could brain storm this right now, but I have quite a few school related activities that limit the one precious resource we all wish we had more of: time.

Tell Tommi what you think he should blog about, I’m sure all of our ideas are in the same ball park.

UPDATE: This is a question for Nokia employees, not us. Thanks for clarifying Tommi!

I misread.

    this could be the “killer-app” for series60 to get the masses!

  2. I don’t think that the S60 guys blogging will help increase S60’s market penetration.

    I do have an idea for a killer app however, I just haven’t put my thoughts in to words yet. Watch out for that article soon LosOutlandos

  3. > Tommi wants you to tell him what to blog about

    Actually, I don’t.

    I want *Nokia/S60* people to tell me what I should blog about, so that I (1) get enough insider info, and (2) can ask the right questions. On the contrary, I don’t want end-users, developers etc. pitching me ideas (or their own applications), because I would drown in the requests. After all, I’m not a blogging-journalist. I’m doing this only part-time, to support our “real work” at Nokia/S60.

    I’ll focus more on Nokia stuff in the future. The 3rd party apps are pretty well covered in other blogs (like yours) nowadays.

  4. My mistake.

    Post fixed to reflect that.

  5. That was quick, thank you!
