On January 17, 2008 in Announcements, Japanese Toolbar, Suggestions Please
Just a quick post for now to whet your appetite. That’s right, it’s time for some teasers 
- The next post in the Japan-related web series will kick start our discussion of what the Japan-related web could be. I’m looking forward to it (and even more to hearing your comments) and I hope you are too!
- If you have not yet subscribe to the series so you don’t miss a post
- Nipponster is set to release a new toolbar feature to contribute to the JapanSoc.com social bookmarking project. The new feature will let you submit news to JapanSoc right from your browser. Hopefully I will be posting details about the project tomorrow and you will be able to take it for a spin.
- DailyJ has several excellent interviews lined up. Due to the connection problems I had earlier this week the schedule has been push back a bit. Sorry about that. But look forward to them soon.
- And last but definitely not least: There is a project to create a wikipedia-like site about all of the Japan-related information online. The site would also serve as a base for organising projects. Hosted by Wikia (from the creators of wikipedia) everyone could contribute to and use the site, but no J-site would own it.
Busy, busy.
Let me know what you think!
I think the Wikipedia site is great idea!!!
I’m looking forward to that toolbar!
Thanks Chris! Hopefully it will catch on and people will use it as they like. It will be something owned by the whole community, very similar to wikipedia. I am working on a write up about it now.
@ Nick
Don’t worry.
I won’t keep you waiting too long in suspense!
[...] have been wanting for some time to talk about this project here with you on [...]
