I read blogs for a living

I'm currently in Sweden, in Opera's Gothenburg appartment office. Yes, it is actually an apartment made into an office. It seems like most Swedes enjoy working in apartments. The best thing about it is no shoes on! Yes, holy mother of sweetness, the casual just got even more casual. I'm tempted to take off my pants soon too.

Fred and I are brainstorming the future of My Opera. The service will be upgraded visually and an early sketch of the new site looks something like this:

I want your feedback on what you want to see more of on My Opera and is this the correct approach we're taking with it? What we're thinking of doing in detail is:

• No longer have two consumer blogs for Opera (community and Choose Opera) - combine it in one "News" section, but have the option to spotlight community posts on the front page.
• Personalize your "Home" section with only personal things. More focus on the activity feed with quick links such as "add a new blog post", "upload pictures", etc. We also want to display more community activities in general.
• Replace the "Community" section with a "Popular" section and only show popular stuff happening on My Opera right now.
• "Operanize" the Opera section. More Opera customize stuff and move the Opera forums there.

What do you want to see done with My Opera and especially the official front page sections?

I'll end this post with a picture of Fred and my pink mouse.
