10th-century Japanese text "The Pillow
Book" becomes a bl0g

10th-century Japanese text "The Pillow
Book" becomes a bl0g 07/27/2004 12:25 AM
A blogger named Simon Cozens is translating the classic Japanese text The Pillow Book (Makura no Soshi) by Sei Shonagon into English and republishing it as a blog. It's easy to forget the fact that these words were written in the tenth century, because the results in this format read -- well, rather like a blog. Some dates are fictitous, and some liberties have been taken to produce a coherent narrative stream in blog format -- but the content is purported to be a faithful translation of the original. Since I speak neither contemporary nor classical Japanese, I'll have to take this blogger (or someone wiser)'s word for it. And no, I'm sorry -- Ewan McGregor has nothing to do with this one.

Rebecca launches a bl0g about North
Korea 02/10/2004 02:51 AM

Rebecca, from CNN, who is now at Harvard on sabattical, has just launched a new blog about North Korea. It's an cool experiment in blogging/journalism by someone who has a lot of on-the-ground experience covering difficult topics like this.

This is an experiment in interactive, participatory journalism. And in the new age of internet web-blogging, we are ALL journalists.

NKzone is NOT a conventional news or information website. Our members will build NKzone collectively with unique, personal, and (whenever possible) first-hand insights about the world's most mysterious country. Please approach this site not as a "viewer" or "reader", but as a "participant" and "contributor." NKzone is non-partisan. It seeks to generate interest and debate about North Korea. It seeks to include many clashing views. It is not advocating a particular cause, other than the desire that people be better informed about North Korea.

Filmica: New collaborative bl0g about
film launches in Spain 12/26/2003 07:58 PM
Caspa.tv blog founder Antonio Delgado, who gave me a personal guided tour of all things geeky in Barcelona not long ago, sends word of a new addition to Spain's growing blogosphere:

Mainly composed of weblogs, Filmica project was born to become an open platform devoted to the present and future of the film and TV industries, collaborating the dialogue and extracting the knowledge from the information that is flowing on many spaces.

Each weblog is a personal site where authors freely write and comment about topics of their interest. Directors, producers, script-writers, journalists, proffessionals and fans will have their weblog installed and ready for them to write, freely. No computer skills required. At this moment, Filmica.com is at beta stage, finishing some adjustments and designs. The official opening is expected at the begining of 2004. People interested to open a weblog in Filmica should send an e-mail to weblogs@filmica.com, describing who the author is and what the subject of the weblog will be. The proposals will be reviewed.

MSN Japan to offer Blog service

MSN Japan to offer Blog service 08/05/2004 12:17 AM
Thanks <b>SYBOLD</b>. According to the report at Reuters, MSN Japan, joining hands with local content provider, T.O.S Co. Ltd., will launch a Blogging service by next week.

The Blogging culture has in deed made its impression to Microsoft's chairman, Bill Gates whom <a href=http://www.neowin.net/comments.php?id=21759&category=main target=_blank>hinted not long ago that he too, could start blogging</a>. MSN hopes to compete with Google's Blogger and expected one million users in the first year.

Apart from supporting the overwhelming demands in the country where 9 out of 10 houses are web-enabled, MSN Japan is also hoping to use this service as advertising medium.

"Magazines, for example, cannot hit a break-even point if the circulation is below 100,000. We target one million users to be recognized as an effective advertising vehicle," said MSN Japan GM, Yoshie Furukawa.

The service, according to Furukawa, will differentiate from others by supporting mobile devices to allow users to read or update their blog on mobile phones.

It is still unclear whether the service will also be offered in other countries.

Enbee.com - Upcoming Korean Blog Service

Enbee.com - Upcoming Korean Blog Service 08/13/2004 06:17 PM

Blogging is hot in Korea right now and Enbee is a hot Korean blogging service provider which will open it's doors in September.  While they are planning to provide a wide range of blogging services, including a feature that allows bloggers to publish their own newspaper (sounds familiar, no?), their link blogging feature has been getting some notice lately.

Suman at Enbee setup an example link blog for me to take a look.  Frankly, I don't see myself using it (too lazy to keep up two blogs), but I think substantial percentage of bloggers will prefer to have link blogs over the kind that requires them to express their personal opinions.  In Korea, young folks are not encouraged to speak their mind in front of elders because a) it's immodest, b) it's what elders are suppose to do, c) they don't know jack shit, and d) they are more obsessed with saying the right thing than saying what they think.

So, I think link blogs in Korea will do well since link bloggers can be helpful to others without the danger of saying too much.  As for me, I consider my blogging habit a sort of mental exhibitionist fetish so link blogging won't deliver enough juice to me.
