Nick over at Lifeiscarbon made himself a widget from Widgetbox the other day. And that made me act as well. You can see the result above. Widgets are one of the best parts of the new social web 2.0. They allow you to personalise your start page, blogg or regular web page by adding different small functions and feeds from your favourite sites. And….if David Report is one of them, please click this link (or the button below) and upload the above widget to your own page. The widget will feed all new posts directly to your web and what’s good, you can change the size and colour theme yourself.

The David Report blog will take a break for a week or so during the holidays. I will relax with the family, play games with my children and eat some good food. Maybe some skiing as well if the weather allows.

Here are some posts from this blog to read meanwhile:

About the David Report Bulletin by myself

Happy Holidays to all of you! See you soon!

Dear blog readers. As some of you maybe will notice the David Report web has a slightly new look from today. I would like to say thank you to Ted Persson from Swedish agency Great Works for his initiative and splendid help with the design. I would also like to pass a lot of love to Anders and Joel at Above for bringing it all into reality. At the same time Björn Jeffery from Good Old deserves a big hug for his patience while teaching me about the social web. Soon you will also be able to read some smart words from his keyboard at this blog!

Welcome! I’m David and I’m the founder of David Report. I’m happy that you stopped by. My intention and hope is that this blog will be a creative meeting point for people with interest in trends concerning design, innovation and brand communication. With a humanistic approach, ethical thinking and a wish for a sustainable future. I have invited some friends to share their thoughts every now and then. You will find posts from John-Michael Ekeblad, Monica Förster, Eero Koivisto, Björn Jeffery, Inga Sempe and Tim Power to mention a few. Please comment and join the inspiring discussions. Here we go!
