J-web research
On February 19, 2008 in #The Japan-related Web Debate
(Ok. If you are a newbie this post might lose you. Sorry about that. But I hope you stick around anyway, we’re nice people)
Sidenote: I have a big post I promised coming up, this is not it.
Before starting the Japan-related web series last month I did a lot of searching online for interesting Japan-related sites, groups, forums, etc.
I am planning to review the series soon here on DailyJ. And I hope you will join in!
As a prelude to that I just wanted to post about some Japan blogger sites/resources already available and get feedback about them.
One that I have know about for awhile now (before I even started blogging) but have not been active with is JapanBloggers.com. This site has been around for a long time (in internet years) and sadly it looks like it is not receiving the support it probably deserves (maybe it’s the platform they are using?).
What do you think of it?I want to look into possible ways to help the site and see if I can talk to the owner(s). I thought that I had contacted them before but did not receive a reply (or maybe I am losing my memory). No worries, I’ll just email them again.
They also have a Japan Blogger Yahoo Group.
Their blog isn’t very active, but the mailing list is. I subscribe to it just in case they arrange a bloggers meet-up outside of Tokyo…
Good info Nick - I may sing up if they have regular Tokyo meetings.
Thanks!
If the blog isn’t very active, I’d say just let it go. Lots of way-more dynamic stuff out there in the blogosphere, IMHO.
