Projects
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!
Something cool from the J-web

A bit of stalling until we rock out with our next interviewee…
(WARNING: The following contains a shameless plug for our Nipponster Japan Toolbar 
)
There is a really neat little AJAX widget for typing in Japanese online without having to download any software:

And we just added it to the Nipponster Japan Toolbar. Click this to read about it –>Kaizen and the Nipponster Japan Toolbar
I think that this is a pretty useful tool (especially when travelling) and the article explains why it is so useful. I hope you find some benefit from it!
It is the kind of Japan-related gem I was thinking out for the promised e-book “25 gems of the Japan-related web that you knew nothing about”
So click it and take it for a spin–> http://ajaxime.chasen.org/index.htm (be sure to click the “IME on/off” button)
Well, that’s all for today
Come back tomorrow for a rocking interview!
