#3 The Japan-related Web. Part 1: What it is

Submitted by Bill Belew on Monday, 7 January 2008No Comment

In the introduction to this series we decided to take a look at what the Japan-related web is, what it could be, and why it matters.

In part 1 of the series we will look at that first question: What is the Japan-related web?

In Japanese the Kanji character for “to understand” (wakaru) and the character for “to divide” (wakeru) are the same. So to really understand the Japan-related web maybe we should divide it into its parts. To do that we will need to ask some questions.

First of all, we need to know, what kinds of sites are there? I propose that, whether big or small, most sites offer one or a combination of the following:

News, entertainment, services & web-tools, instruction & education, personal

stories & experiences, classifieds, and e-commerce.

If you disagree or have extras to add, be sure to comment.

We will study these seven categories closely throughout the first part of this series.

Post #3 is up. I wanted to divide (dissect) the Japan-related content available into parts so that we can study it closely. I ended up with seven categories. And that is what is post is all about.

This post is about how to dissect and analyse the Japan-related content. It divides content into seven categories. Be sure to visit the link to see what they are and give your thoughts!

Just a quick comment to say that I think you’ve got all the major categories covered there.

Maybe I am thinking too small. How about business, sports, commentary, opinion?

Looks like you got the bases covered as far as I can tell.?

Did you ever see the awfully (because it’s so true!) stereotypical post about Japan-related website classification by the Westerner’s Fear of the Neon Sign? Made me laugh, and then hang my head in shame. Dunno where my blog fits. Ha ha.

Hehehe! That is a great post. Those are pretty funny, #10 was my favourite.

I related to the part about the blog talking over your life a little more than I would have liked…

But hey, it’s fun!
