This coming from a fellow Finn who is studying marketing in the Netherlands. I just recently started experimenting on a blog of my own, should be fun.
Cheers!

HI Sami–
I am an American living in Finland (south of Salo) and came across your blog via the value of Facebook fan page post. I wanted to share with you a global project that may be of interest (http://projectrestoration.com), specifically in terms of a new angle on social-networking — with a purpose.
I invite you to come check it out, and if you like what you see, to feature it in one of your blogs.
All the best!

Hi Sami
First of all thank you for you and Mr Nyman for excellent (Finnish) book: Yhteisöllinen media ja muuttuva markkinointi. It has given me and my thesis partner a great insight about internet marketing.
Anyway I can’t help but wonder the absence of RSS-feed buttons or links in your blog, after all in your book you (or Nyman) wrote quite promising words about RSS-feeds.
