I have been working with this blog for almost two years now. It all started with me and my colleague Gustaf thinking we should do something special for the launch of the Sony Ericsson Satio. On the 7th of September 2009 the first post of the Satio Launch Blog was posted. After that we had some really nice times with reporting on the development of Satio up until launch. Because of the limited subject, one model only, and the huge excitement for the camera features of Satio it created a lot of interest and a quite tight community around it.
When Satio was launched the blog then changed into the Sony Ericsson Product Blog and got much wider to cover all of our products. The amount of visitors also boomed which made the comments section change as well. Because of the very heavy traffic and engagement among the comments the comments section changed from being almost a discussion forum into more of a traditional comments section. We also had some tough times with the more technical community during our first year with Android. All that feedback we got back then, even though it felt hard at times, was very important to us. I fully believe that we have been able to learn and change fast from that. My interaction with our developers has been taking lots of my time and I really feel that the feedback from you here have made a difference. A difference for our products, our development but also on the view of consumer needs and the importance of super user perception from our side.
I’ve almost felt like a representative for the tech-savvy consumers into our company and it has been a great journey leaving a feeling of being able to make a difference.
That said there are still of course areas where we still can and need to improve, I think there always will be. Therefore your continuous feedback is just as important now and in the future so keep it coming!
Things are about to change around here though.
First of all this blog will soon go through a change in look&feel and the comments system will be updated with support for thumbs-ups, threads of comments etc. Especially the revamp of the comments section will hopefully even further enhance the experience and the quality in the comments section. The re-design of the look of the blog is also a good improvement where you can look at the redesigned developer world page to get an idea on what it will look like. During the work with this redesign there will probably be some down-time though but hopefully not too much.
Secondly it’s now time for me to take some time off. My second daughter is now almost 1 year old and it’s time for me to take some parental leave to spend quality time with her and her older sister. Don’t worry though, there will be other bloggers taking care of this space and I’m sure they will do a great job until my return.
Being as interested as I am in our products and the mobile industry at large I’m sure I will have a hard time disconnecting fully though and I will keep track of things happening. Who knows, I might show up here in the comments section from time to time also 
We have lots of exciting new products that will start shipping during this summer and fall and it will be a very different experience for me trying to keep track of that a little bit from the side rather then being in the very center of it all.
So, final blog post for a while, checking out!
Have a great summer all!

14:35You’ve obviously been worked too hard with all the comments on the Xperia issues! Have a good break
BTW – I think a lot of users would appreciate it if you could let us know if there will be one main “contact” similar to yourself that comments can be directed at. Your OP makes it sound like no-one is going to be dedicated to the blog, which could pose problems in the future if different SE people make different comments about important issues.
Just a thought, that’s all…

Regards.

20:21Wish you all the happiness with your precious family! I truly have enjoyed checking your blog updates not giving the readers too much of a “customer relations” or “press release” feeling! Hope that continues with the new project team, who will take it over from you!
Bye for now and see you back here soon! 1 0 -
