Early Morning In Tokyo and the Social Web

Categories: AsiaPosted on October 22nd, 2008

I have so much to share about my trip to Japan and meeting with dozens of people from Japan’s top companies, and over 20 bloggers and social media experts at last night’s blogger dinner.

Perhaps the best way to share is to keep it short, here are my most recent tweets:

One AM Tokyo
City Never Dark, Soft Glow
Sleepless City We Are

We Often Forget
Social Web About Culture,
Not Technology

Most Brands Do Not Join
Yet Japan Use Social Web
Fish Where The Fish Are

    Love the social media haiku.

  • You know, living in Silicon Valley, it is hard not to get lost in the idea that all of this "social media" stuff is about technology.

    But fundamentally, it isn't. It's about people. Remember "guestbooks" back in the 90's? Where you could go to a site and post a comment?

    They eventually got overrun with spam, but that's besides the point. What's important is that it was humans interacting in a way where their words would be shared for all to see.

    And that's fundamentally what this "Web 2.0" thing is to me. It's nothing new at all... it's just better, because there are a heck of a lot more people, and we've developed our own culture.
