  • Perhaps an even bigger problem is that both Facebook and MySpace fail to offer an optimized version for Japanese handsets. Millions of Japanese are accustomed to using one thumb, a dialpad and a jog dial on their phones when accessing the web during their commutes to school and work. In this country, the mobile web is bigger than the PC web.
  • Offering a country-specific version before a local copycat beats you to it is an obvious key factor for success, and not only in Japan.
  • Practical experience from the Japanese web industry has shown that partnering up with a local company is the best way to diminish these dangers

  • But the Japanese market isn’t lost yet for MySpace and Facebook, despite Mixi’s dominance. If millions of Americans don’t mind registering to multiple social networks, why should the Japanese?

  • So what is bigger than "local" applications space? The answer is Web/browser-based applications space. And what is bigger than Web/browser applications space? The answer is voice space.

豊かな時代の究極の楽しみは「クリエイトすること」、それがWeb2.0 - Tech Mom from Silicon Valley - 0 views

  • 例えば「アメリカン・アイドル」があれだけ社会現象になるのは、自分たちで投票することでスターをつくりあげるという、一種のクリエーション・プロセスへの参加感があるからだと思う。
  • 日本でも、ケータイだけで書いた「ケータイ小説」が人気だそうだが、できた小説が「大人」から見てどういうクオリティか、というのはここでは問題ではないのだ。クリエイトすること、それをいかにやりやすく、面白く、なるべく多くの人にできるようにするか、それをどうやって「ねぇ、ママ、見て見て」ができるようにするか。それがポイントのような気がする。
  • 豊かな時代に育っていない私には、今ひとつ実感がなかったのだが、一足先に飽食の時代になっているアメリカの、その中でも最先端のシリコンバレーのWeb2.0系の連中の熱狂をここ数日見ていて、なんだかわかった気がした。SNSやブログ・ウィジェットなどの個別の話だけではない。Web2.0という、一種の新しい社会プロセス、新しいビジネスモデル、新しいビッグなもの、新しい考え方、既存の大企業や著作権ロビーや権力に対してバランス勢力となるような、新しい潮流や新しいコミュニティを自分たちの手で作り上げること、大きくすること。これまでよりも一桁少ないお金で起業する小型アントレプレナー、しこしことソフトウェアを書いているコード・モンキーくんたち、自分のポッドキャストを始めた14歳の少年、そういう子供を育てている親、SNSをなんとか継続可能な商売にしようとしているビジネスマン、皆それぞれの立場で「アメリカンアイドルの投票者」として、プロセスに参加している、何かを作り上げている。これまで自分一人の力では手の届かなかったものに、なんらか力を及ぼせる、その手ごたえがある。彼らはそれに熱狂しているのだ。

  • he European Commission today outlined the main steps that Europe has to take to respond to the next wave of the Information Revolution that will intensify in the coming years due to trends such as social networking, the decisive shift to on-line business services, nomadic services based on GPS and mobile TV and the growth of smart tags. The report shows that Europe is well placed to exploit these trends because of its policies to support open and pro-competitive telecom networks as well as privacy and security.
  • Web 3.0 means seamless 'anytime, anywhere' business, entertainment and social networking over fast reliable and secure networks
  • The index shows that Sweden and the Netherlands are clear leaders in the EU, thanks to a competition-friendly environment and skilled citizens and businesses that can use advanced services.

  • “We are going to see the big social networks start to decentralize into a series of social applications across the Web,” Mr. Zuckerberg said. “I think we are at the beginning of a movement and the beginning of an industry.”
  • For example, the mobile service company Loopt, based in Mountain View, Calif., helps people find their friends and see what they are doing on a map on their mobile phone. It will use Facebook Connect so its users do not have to re-enter their connections to the friends they want to track.
  • Sean Parker, a former Facebook executive who now runs Causes, said Facebook was trying to stimulate the creation of more sophisticated applications. “They are trying to evolve to a place where the right companies get funded and they launch more ambitious features on the platform,” he said.

  • It is REALLY hard to launch in Japan without a local partner. There are many reasons. Foreign brands have very little value in Japan without local promotion.

  • IT, said Carr, is the next great technology that is going through a similar transformation.  Many IT capabilities, now handled in a distributed way, will be centralized in highly industrialized, efficient, scalable data centers - Clouds - which should free companies to invest in innovation where it really matters to their business.  Nick acknowledged that IT clouds are quite different in nature from electricity - more complex and diverse in the services they offer.  So it is too early to tell how IT clouds will evolve.
  • At the conference, there was quite a bit of discussion about the relationship of cloud computing to computing-on-demand offerings, such as Amazon Web Services, and software-as-a-service application platforms, such as salesforce.com.  Some have said that this spells the death of software.
  • I prefer to think of what is happening as the long-needed evolution of application software to something that is far more usable by humans.  When virtualizing applications to be used by people who care nothing about computers or technology - as is mostly the case with Clouds - the key thing we want to virtualize or hide from the user is complexity.

  • This is far from the death of software.  In fact, it will take lots of innovative software to make computers and computing applications usable, let alone enjoyable to use  The more intelligent we want them to be - that is, intuitive, exhibiting common sense and not making us have to constantly take care of them - the more smart software it will take.  But with cloud computing, our expectation is that all that software will be virtualized or hidden from us and taken care of by systems and/or professionals that are somewhere else - out there in The Cloud.
