Why the Japan Blog Matsuri is such a good idea
On October 25, 2007 in JapanBlogMatsuri, On the J-web
“In order to get a bit more of a community and interaction going on here with my fellow Japan bloggers, I have decided to hold a Japan Blog Matsuri (outline and guidelines described there), basically a chance for everyone to recommend their best, or favourite, or most under-appreciated blog post for the month, based around a different theme every month.” - Ken from WhatJapanThinks
The part that stands out in my mind is “In order to get a bit more of a community and interaction going…” It seems to me that we do need more of a community and I think that a matsuri is a great way to do it.
I’ve talked a lot about the next matsuri but knowing that talk alone isn’t going to do anything I have also been chatting up some of the past hosts and hopefully the ball will start rolling again with the monthly J-blog matsuri.
It is a great idea, and that’s why we’ve revived the JBM! Get the latest updates at the Japan Blog Matsuri Newsroom.
Awesome! Thanks for the heads up and the hard work Nick.
