Japan, The Top Blogging Nation

This is an interesting article from Japan Mainichi Daily News. I always thought that English is the dominant language on Internet and there should be more blogs in English than any other languages. But based on the report, I am wrong. There are more Japanese blogs than any other languages!

The number of Internet blogs in Japan stood at about 16.9 million as of January 2008, with about 20 percent of Japan’s 88.11 million Internet users involved in blogging, a survey by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications has found.

The report also introduced the results of a survey by an American company that included deleted blogs. The number of blogs across the world totaled about 70 million, it was found. By language, Japanese topped the list, accounting for about 37 percent of all blogs. Second was English, at around 36 percent, while Chinese stood in third place at roughly 8 percent. The figures highlight the popularity of blogs in Japan.

Nintendo - The Most Innovative in Responding to Customer Needs

It is a survey run by Wall Street Journal Asia for readers, Asia 200 survey. Nintendo tops the category of “Innovative in responding to customer needs”. Nintendo has not been in the top 10 since 2002. But thanks to the launch of Wii, Nintendo can now tell the world that, they are back to the peak. You play Wii before? Or Nintendo’s DS? How? Compared to PSP, PS3, XBox, which one better? I must say that Wii’s way of getting users to play the game is really really innovative.

No Japan, where AV industry is so so so established and churning in big bucks yearly. No US, the country regarded as the freest in the world. I am surprised that Malaysia’s standing in this list. Malaysia beats many strong countries and stands at 7th, really Malaysia Boleh! But where is Singapore? How can the first world country, Singapore lose out to the developing countries like Malaysia, China, or Mexico? How can? So many PRC, Indonesia, Thailand girls flocking into Singapore to earn big bucks, yet Singapore does not manage to make it to the list. What a disappointment!

By the way, the way the article talked about Malaysia is funny:

Malaysia
In public, this country definitely appears conservative. For example, there was a recent controversy over whether sex education should be taught in high school or not — not exactly sexually liberated. However, behind closed doors lies (pun totally intended) the real story: Malaysians are swinging from the bedposts, and loving every minute of it. Occasionally we’ll get a glimpse of it - like when Malaysia’s Minister of Health was forced to step down after his homemade sex tapes made the rounds in January of 2008.
