Lessons to be learnt from the first week
OK, since there doesn’t seem to be many entries today to share with you, I decided to write about the lessons I learnt from the first week of my activity in Door to Japanese Blogs. The only criterion I use in the selection of the blog entries is whether or not the entries offer any value to the community outside Japan. Obviously this is totally biased by myself, but there are cases where I...

Fastladder.com is like Blogline; make an account and register RSS feeds. Today, Livedoor, the company behind Fastladder, decided to release the source code as an open-source software. This means that you can install the software as an RSS server in your local environment. I think this is a great move from Livedoor, and deserves more attentions. I encourage everyone to try out the software if you...

Hate spam? Go to SNS
Due to the widespread culture (if I may call it) of anonymity in Japan, there has been a long and winding dispute between the pro-real name and anti-real name schools. The issue is relatively simple. The pro-real wants everyone on the web to identify themselves with the real-name (or an ID that can trace back to the person in some way), while the anti-real argues that the pro-real is missing the...

Satoshi predicts that the offer from Microsoft will be accepted by Yahoo! and shareholders should rejoice this move. He argues that while this might not be the best news for the management of Yahoo, they would have a strong pressure from other members of the board. Satoshi’s main interest, though,...

Yamanote-Line in your palm
Inspired by a rail model in Norway, Mitzuchi Tachio created a web application that showed the current status of trains in the Yamanote-Line (a underground circle line in Tokyo). It’s designed to show the current location of trains on a simplified map. Tachio wasn’t satisfied there, though. He went off to one of the stations in the Yamanote-Line to see if his application really...
