東京ガイド
11月に案内した通り、ジャパン・タイムズとコラボして、うちのCGMプラットフォーム「ミライガイア」で東京のポータルサイトを立ち上げる事になりました。名付けて、「Tokyo.JapanTimes」。
Tokyo.JapanTimesは外国人向けの英語サイトで、東京のライフスタイルを奇麗な写真で伝える。このサイトはCGM型で、新聞社としては初めての試みのではないかと思います。ユーザーがコンテンツを投稿して、"セーフ"な投稿はTOPにあがってくる。フィギュアとドールとオタクネタのフィギュアFMと同じ概念だ。
今まで投稿された写真をサイトから抜粋。とっても奇麗な写真ばっかり。日本の方にとっては極普通の風景なのだが、外国人の目から見ると、日本は美しい。
今までの投稿者の中では日本の方もいます。奇麗な東京を外国に発信しましょう!
立ち上げの祝いに、来週の木曜日(25日)にパーティーがある。場所は六本木ヒルズのCurtain Callで19:30PM - 23PMまで行われます。
入場は無料です。
東京都港区六本木6-10-2 六本木ヒルズけやき坂コンプレックス内 (地図)
来週の木曜日待っているよ!
このサイトは元JALのエンジニア、アマゾンのウェブサイトマネージャー、マイクロソフトのプロダクトマネージャーそして現在MIRAI株式会社の社長ダニー・チューが書いているブログです。詳しくは彼のプロフィールでどうぞ。
いつも読んで頂いている方はこの挨拶を永遠に閉じよう^^;

The last two shots are by http://www.tokyoluv.com, I think. It's either HDR or an art filter.

There are so many sites out there asking for free content now it's gonna get to the point where everyone's making user submitted content sites and noone's making quality content. I suspect we'll see an application that submits your blog posts to dozens f webpages rather than just one's own. What do you think?

I agree, not too big a fan of sites that rely exclusively on user-generated content. At least Dannychoo.com still publishes lots of original content.

CGM has been around for quite some time already. Youtube is one of them.
CGM is very important actually, more of like "open source" content.
I feel while CGM websites may seem strange, I think a successful one benefit everybody.

i think just bbs and forums are a start of cgm

Interesting... It sounds like you are the one making all the quality content and everybody else is making crap content?

I can probably muster a few submissions from my last trip to Japan, but I fear the main use of this new site will be to make me miss Japan even more than I do. Ah well, at least it's a nice way of experiencing it vicariously.
