“JapanSoc It” Button on the Nipponster Japan Toolbar
On January 19, 2008 in Announcements, Community building, DailyJ Mission, Future of the J-web, Japanese Toolbar
After a little delay here it is!
I have created a little button so users can submit an article to JapanSoc just by clicking “JapanSoc It” on the toolbar. I am going to give more details here, but first let’s take a look at JapanSoc itself:
JapanSoc.com, in case you haven’t heard, is a social bookmarking site (think Digg.com) for Japan-related news. Why is this site so important? To explain with an analogy, it could be the “watercooler” of the Japan-related blogosphere; a hub around which J-bloggers (and others besides) can gather and share news.
After announcing that we would release a “JapanSoc It” button Nick informed me that there is already a bookmarklet available. You can read about it here.
I still wanted to give our current toolbar users a “JapanSoc It” button, so I continued with the project. Hopefully the button will attract those users to the JapanSoc project.
For anyone who is not yet a toolbar user and interested in what it has to offer:
The Nipponster Japan Toolbar is a browser toolbar with various features and resources (including Japanese language tools and internet broadcast Japanese tv). We are continually adding to the toolbar and tweaking the functions already available. You can download the Japan toolbar here.
Thanks for this. I’ve installed it and will give it a go.
You’re welcome, Nick.
I hope it helps. Let me know what you think of the toolbar. We are always looking for feedback on how we can improve it. And we have a list of things to improve that we are chipping away at.
