How you can contribute to amassing the greatest list of Japan Blogs in the world! - an interview with JapanBlogList

On December 20, 2007 in Interviews

Yesterday we had a little chat with Gerry from JapanBlogList and learnt a bit about his mission. If you missed it, you might benefit from reading it first and of course look at the JapanBlogList itself.

Today we are going to take a closer look at what this project has to offer and how you can help make it even better.

Daily J: How do you feel your project can benefit people interested in Japan?

Gerry: Sometimes trying to find a good blog on Japan is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Some of the smaller blogs don’t get the exposure they deserve, so the Japan Blog list can help those people. They can learn more about life in Japan and other Japan-related topics.

Daily J: How might others be able to contribute to the project?

Gerry: Of course! There are so many blogs out there, I alone cannot keep track of all of them. That is why I ask readers to feel free to email their submissions and I will add them to the list. I make sure each site is not SPAM before I add it to the list–quality control, baby!

(DailyJ Sidenote: Quality control is one of the things I really like about this project)

Daily J: Is there anything else you would like to say?

Gerry: Right now The Japan Blog List has gotten out of the gates a little slow, so it could use some help from the blog community. If you feel that the list is worthy enough to grace your site, I would appreciate it if you could link back to The Japan Blog List! Also, please help by submitting more blogs that are not listed (thanks to those who have helped create the initial list!). Cheers, and keep up the fantastic blogging everyone!!!

Last but not least, special thanks to Daily J for giving us the opportunity for an interview! Cheers! =)

(emphasis added)

Chris and Nick commented yesterday and made some good points. 1) It is a good thing that should be taken further. 2) With such a huge list it is a little overwhelming trying to look at it all.

Well, the plan is, it will go further! And we hope it will be amazing. So come back tomorrow and find out why!

Until then, help your fellow Japan-enthusiast out and spread the word.

Have a great day.
