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

Posted by Bill Belew on January 10th, 2008 in Japan | Comments Off

Yesterday we looked at the category of news on the Japan-related web and considered some thought-provoking questions.

Today we are going to look at the second of the seven categories, entertainment, in its many forms.

This category is probably the hardest area to define. But it may be a bit easier if we divide it into its parts, namely:

1. pictures,

2. audio,

3. text,

4. video.

These are the four “means of communication” in general.

There are sites dedicated to each: Japan-related photo sites (pics), podcasters (audio), bloggers (text), and video bloggers. Most sites have a combination of the four.

These four means of communication bring these questions to mind:

1. How well are we using them (as producers)?

2. How well are we finding them (as consumers)?

Also, are producers (bloggers/webmasters) collaborating on these productions?
