I’m not sure exactly how this little experiment will make me rich, so any ideas and suggestions are welcome! ;-)

I love when websites create API:s and that more and more services can interact with each other. What bothers me is that the usability still isn’t really quite “there” yet. The constant logging in is for example something I could live without.

Many sites give me much more than I’m looking for, and that not in a good way. The various pages of settings and guides I have to go through before just doing what I’m there for suggests something is wrong (either with me or the website).

I wanted a way to just jot down whatever was on my mind, and share it simply. Take for example a grocery shopping list that I want my boyfriend to have. I could mail it, but then it wouldn’t be a collaborative document. I could log in to google docs and create a document and share it with him, but… come on!

So, I’ve created Just a List! This is, just as it sounds, pretty much just a list. What’s great about it is that you actually don’t have to do anything besides writing your list. No login, no save-button, nothing!

It’s still very much on a conceptual testing stage, but should be fully functional (except for the collaboration parts). Any suggestions on uses for this would be highly appreciated!

I didn’t have much expectations on Stockholm Startup Weekend as this was my first startup event, so I most definitely hadn’t planned to pitch an idea and win!

But I ended up with an amazing team and together we created the idea and website Just Add Stuff. This wasn’t exactly my original idea, but after hours of trying to find a way to make money out of a give-away-free-stuff website, we decided to build a white label classified ad system instead.

The idea is to let web communities and blogs have their own, niched, mini “Blocket” (like Craig’s list). For example, a downhill skiing community can let their members post ads for second hand trading of skiing equipment. The website can decide if they want to charge their users for the ads (this way sports clubs can add a revenue channel). We also support clustering, so a community can share ads within the same niche with other sites.

I had a great weekend, getting to know lots of amazing people, and I’ll definitely participate in more startup events!

Stardoll is a community where little girls (and boys) can play with “paper” dolls. As a user you create a me-doll that resembles (or doesn’t resemble) you, then you dress and accessorize your doll. You also have a “suite” to fill with furniture and pets. You can design your own clothes, buy designer clothing for your doll and have parties in special party chat rooms that you furnish and decorate yourself.

Other than that, Stardoll of course has all the common functionality found in most communites. The community has an astounding nearly 50 million users all over the world!

In December 2009 I was at Stardoll coding front-end, which included HTML, CSS, JQuery, JSON, integrations with Flash and PHP.

Subject is a very popular Finnish community, connected to the TV channel MTV3. Users can upload videos and images and write eachother messages, but it is the forum that is the most used part with over one million entries in just a couple of years. The forum is the place to be to discuss the Finnish version of the Big Brother show and Idol!

For Subject I’ve been adding extra functionality such as photo galleries for the users and doing bug fixes when problems have appeared. I also handled the releases to the numerous servers.
