Mission & Passion
On August 07, 2008 in Suggestions Please
I started DailyJ as an offshoot of Nipponster. With Nipponster I helped create a Japan-related website with the goal of helping other “Japan-enthusiasts” (people with some interest or vested-interest in Japan).
Starting it made me interested in connecting with other people who had started Japan-related websites and blogs. I wanted to hear about what they were doing and why they loved doing it. I wanted to hear their stories and know that I wasn’t alone.
I think, quite accidentally, I found something that was really needed: A community for Japan-related webmasters and bloggers; a place where they could tell their story and connect with others. (And I met some very cool people in the process)
I never ran out of people to interview who wanted to be interviewed. I just ran out of time and energy.
I wasn’t prepared to keep things going.
Daily blog posting is a little crazy.
But I like being a little crazy.
Let’s call it passion 
Welcome back. Good to know you’re feeling up to it again.
Thanks Billy. btw, Your JapanBlogger.net looks great!
It’s good to see that the Japan-related web “virus” is spreading
Yeah, it’s like an elevator that has left the ground floor, but too many people are still doing ground-floor stuff. There’s a whole world of opportunity to do original Japan-related sites and it’s nice to see some are taking it to the next level.
Couldn’t agree more. I hope we will see more innovators in the future (and maybe less imitators). And I think we will.
Either way (imitatation or innovation) people are talking about Japan, and that’s a good thing.
