I’ve traveled a lot the last couple of years and conversed with some very interesting people. Some have been so interesting that I’ve chosen to write down our whole conversation. It has become a hobby of mine. I’d like to share some of the conversations/interviews with you. Just because I think they’re interesting enough for everyone to read. Maybe they’ll be just as interesting to you. Maybe not. Either way I’ve been given permission to share some of the stories of what’s under their surfaces.

LATEST STORIES

Marthe, the journeywoman

 “I think it comes from me wanting to explore. Explore new relations, learning who I am when I’m not surrounded by all the things and people that are known and familiar. Creating new paths.” She tells me that a lot of her friends she’s known since childhood, which she is grateful for. But she wanted to try building new relationships with a clean slate. She decided to go to China to do so, and she reveals that she chose China because of wanting to explore a country that no one she knew had been to and thought it could be useful to learn Chinese as well as get familiar with the culture for career purposes.


OUR HISTORY

Bloc started in 2005 as one of the most successful online social communities in Norway. We knew at a early stage how to make the web easy to use for normal people. 

We saw companies create publishing platforms which organizations and companies used as their webspace. The problem was that these websites are very static and most companies do not even have the faintest idea about how to log in to change simple things like their own phone-number. They have to call an IT consultant and pay them a lot of money to have them change it for them.

    We thought: There has got to be a better way.

With our experience, we decided to build a social webplatform that any company or organization could use and where every user could contribute to the webspace while still keeping it beautiful and easy to use through click-and-drag and click-and-type. We now help over 600 clients manage their organizations and companies online.
