We never do this, but can you like it anyway?

October 28, 2011 · by Espen André Øverdahl

We're nominated for a random PR/marketing award here in Norway called Gullkorn (The Golden Grain - could also be a delicious breakfast cereal!) for our Oprah Winfrey e-mail blog post (read it if you haven't). We had those Oprah mails lying around for years, not really knowing what we should do with them. When Ms. Winfrey did her last show earlier this year, we just had to post all the emails intended for her - but wrongly sent to Opera.

Out of nowhere (at least for us), Opera got featured on CNN. This is apparently a big deal. Because of that we got nominated for this award and they asked us to take a picture of ourselves. Aleksander (Community Manager), Nils (PR boss), Erlend (Marketing boss), Pål (PR junkie) and myself (???) took this snapshot in the bathroom yesterday.

If you have a Facebook account, and enjoy what we're doing here on Opera News, we'd love if you could "Like" this picture. We don't care if we win or not - it would just be fun to see how many Likes we could rally up.

And clean too

Why didn't you choose a professional photography studio, or maybe outside Opera office

I love Opera but I am sorry, you do yourselves a dis-favour by looking like a bunch of idiots in a toilet, instead of professional people who know what they are doing.

I've always thought photos taken in bathrooms are for facebook
