Focus and the backrub

On August 09, 2008 in Community building, DailyJ Mission, Helping Japan Bloggers

 

Interesting bit of trivia for you…

What was the original name of Google before it was Google?

I’ll give you a hint, it was one of the words in this post’s title.

If you said “focus” guess what, you’re wrong. Yay!

Google started as Backrub.

What does that have to do with Japan/DailyJ/anything you ask?

They called it Backrub because it was the first search engine to measure links between websites. Links (relationships) = I rub your back.

Anyway,

Let’s talk about FOCUS.

Around the j-web different sites have different focuses. Different sites have different styles and functions. There is probably niche room for all 

And I also have a place. I need to focus more on creating the best search engine of Japan-related results. Nipponster.

Your J-site might have a different focus entirely.

But we can rub each others back by helping each other improve. I hope to use DailyJ (going forward) as a conduit for that; a conduit for helping others with their sites. And for receiving help with Nipponster.

So let’s share feedback going forward. Are you with me?
