A good Second Life friend of mine Velazquez Bonetto in Germany who runs a virtual art space called Diabolus and an on-going series of virtual art exhibits called CARP 1-6 put together this e-book of my work that spans two years. It's a really nice favor he's done for me and makes for a great record. Thanks Vela!

What all this social media could boil down to is people looking for community and others who are passionate about the same thing as ourselves.

Well, I've delayed writing this blog post long enough. The mba has kept me very very busy but excuses aside I'm really excited how things are going at JSMM. Most relevant to this blog is the developments over at
Japan Social Media Marketers that's getting a slow but sure start. A few random notes about the progress of the community:
- We had our first small gathering at SPI compliments of

By creating boundaryless channels between the company, our employees and our customers, what we lose through relinqui…

In line with my last post about social media needing creatives and how they appear to be the missing link, I wanted to share this brilliantly humorous art director promotion/CV by a fellow named Christopher Doyle harkening from Sydney, Australia. He creates a tongue in cheek brand guidel…

I've become a huge fan of illustrator Hugh McLeod of
gapingvoid.com lately. I know, I know, so has everyone else. What I want to say here is that web 2.0/social media isn't just about the buzzing crowd, coffee-swilling developers, VC savvy dudes and clever social media strategists. A missing link is apparent and I'm not sure why it took so long for me to realize it. It's also about the creative ideas, designs and content that are needed to make things tha…

"We are not seats or eyeballs or end-users or consumers. We are human beings - and our reach extends your grasp. Deal with it." - Excerpt from the Clue Train Manifesto
To answer the question "what's social branding?", I need to fall back on a personal experience. My wife and I are raising two kids in the suburbs of East Tokyo. Our son is 10 and our daughter is 5. The two fight like cats and dogs and my wife does her best to…

Tonight I got turned onto
Google Trends and started to have a look at 3 big SNSes for the Japanese region (obviously Mixi is the biggie but I wanted to see how Facebook and MySpace were fairing). The way Trends works is that you can see what sites people visited or searched next after the original search. From that we can get some idea of what specific site…
