Today I saw this PhotoHunt thing on Tokyo-Toms website. It sounds fun, and I may participate in the next one (on Saturday).

Crowded subway in Tokyo

June 1st, 2008 Peter Korkala

Why don’t they just increase the train capacity in some way? Add more vehicles or trains? Or is it impossible without expanding the rail-network? Click on the image to see a video on YouTube where they are pushing people into the subway train.

The people hired to push people into the train is called Oshiya in Japanese. In what other cities are there people hired to push people?

Advertising: Project Wonderful

June 1st, 2008 Peter Korkala

Today I discovered a new (to me) advertising network: Project Wonderful.

You buy and sell ad-space by auctions that never end. The current highest bidder gets his ad showed on the site. It seems to be a very great opportunity to advertise on many sites at a low cost. I’m going to check this out!

Is there any chance to run a Swedish version of this concept maybe?
