Do YOU want to be interviewed?

On December 08, 2007 in Announcements, Interviews we'd like to do

It is rough chasing down bloggers, twisting their arms and squeezing interviews out of them while they squirm about kicking you in the shins

Seriously, it is a lot of work contacting Japan bloggers and webmasters and interviewing them. It is work, but fun work. So I definitely like doing it and will keep on doing it.

But one person alone cannot collect all the great news and behind the scenes motivation and aspirations of the Japan-related web. We (the Japan-related web) are too big and too active for that, and that is a good thing.

So how can we create a place where all of this information can be reported? And how can I interview ALL of the people who are making the web a better place for Japan-enthusiasts?

I’m not exactly sure so I would love to hear if you have any ideas!

Here are some things I think will help (are helping):

1. Contacting me if you want an interview or if you have news
2. If there is someone you want Daily J to interview let me know, or tell them to contact me.
3. Whenever you give feedback, suggestions and comment it REALLY helps. Thank you guys so much!

I want to talk more about that first one:

Contact me if you want an interview or if you have news!

Daily J reports on the Japan-related web. Bloggers, if you blog about Japan, that means YOU! Webmasters, have a cool site about Japan? Daily J wants to report about YOU!

We are obsessed with the Japan-related web. We don’t want to do an interview once and that is it, we want to talk about what you are up to. If you update something on your site, we want to talk about it. If you are doing a new series on Why Chicken Ramen Rocks, we want to report it. We are 100% absolutely positively interested in you! Tell us your story.

For everyone (blogger or not): I am sure you know some great Japan-related sites and blogs. And I bet that you have wondered: how did they start? who is behind the site and what are they like? You can find out if you tell them do an interview with Daily J. And best of all, if you do that Daily J will be your friend and fan forever

Ok. Some practicals.

Here are starter questions that you can use (answer the ones you like and send them to us for an interview!) :

1. What is the mission/vision of your site? What is your site all about?
2. What motivated you to start it?
3. What part of running your site do you like the best?
4. Where do you see your site going in the future?
5. What projects/etc. are you working on?
6. How can others best interact with your site and contribute?
7. What makes your site unique and how can readers get the most from your site?
8. What posts/content are your favourites?
9. And, if there is anything else you want to say, feel free to say it.

What do you think? Good idea? Bad idea? Your feedback is alway appreciated.

Have a great day!

Daily J
