What Japan Thinks reviews DailyJ - and - yes to the next JapanBlogMatsuri
On December 31, 2007 in Announcements, Community building, JapanBlogMatsuri, On the J-web
Ken YN over at WhatJapanThinks has been reviewing the runners up for the Japan Blog of the Year Award, and DailyJ is “grateful bewildered” to have a place on that list. His review of DailyJ is below.
More importantly, after a bit of childish “Are-we-there-yet?” style nagging, we have word from Ken about possible future J-blog matsuri!
Daily J. This blog is centred around Japan blogger interviews, and is trying to foster, no, make that build a Japanese blogger community, something I feel should exist, and I hope that this Japan Blog of the Year vote has somehow helped towards that goal. Oh yes, and about the Japan Blog Matsuri - I have an alternative yet cunning plan, and I’ll have to talk to you soon regarding one or the other matsuris!
I am sure that Deas from RockingInHakata and Bill at RisingSunOfNihon will be happy to hear that! The credit goes to them for supporting it in the past and talking to DailyJ and others about having more of them.
I don’t know about you, but I am excited already!
I took part in the Japan blog matsuri once, and am looking forward to doing so again!
I have never taken part in a matsuri but am looking forward to the opportunity.
Hi Nick!
Thanks for the comment. I am looking forward to it too.
Right now I am really excited because mymonth-long guest blogging series over at RisingSunOfNihon just started!
Like I mentioned before, the topic is “The Japan-related Web: What it is, What it could be, and Why it Matters.”
It is supposed to be a
conversation between all of the players on the J-web (bloggers,
webmasters, and their readers). So be sure to join the conversation and give your opinions too.
@ Shane,
I will definitely let you guys know once I have word from Ken about the specific details of the next one!
We’ve done it! The Japan Blog Matsuri has been revived! More info at the Japan Blog Matsuri Newsroom.
Now we just need to revive the Daily J!
I’m glad that you guys revived it.
Now the word just needs to be spread. You guys have already started I know.
I’ve started mentioning it to a few on my interviewee roll too.
