Some pictures of the Tweetup Japan 2010.
For those that doesn’t know what is a tweetup, it’s just a meeting of twitter enthusiasts. In this case, the CEO @ev was also there as a special guest.
Two years ago, the “Tweetup Japan” was about 40 people and now more than 500 people were there.
That shows how twitter is growing fast in Japan, but to be honest, nobody really knows why!
That’s the magic of this country. You can have a great success or a terrible failure and there are few elements to understand why. Only people that are living here for a long long time can help to answer the question “why”. But even them don’t really 100% know. In Japan you have to be able to survive in your business with estimations. If you are good at that, you will survive and be successful. Sometimes I hate it, but definitively at the end I love this country, it’s so special! :)

Social Media Day – Tokyo – 2010

2010 Jul - 2 |

Category: Events, Internet

Some pictures of the Social Media Day organized at Tokyo on June 30th. At the same time, in many other cities in the world, social media enthusiasts celebrated the upcoming changes that will transform the way we live.
That day represents the continue movement and desire of people to communicate, get in contact, and specially to be free to share information and ideas. It was a long journey, not ended yet, which started from the paintings in primitive carves, moved to the creation of characters, rules of grammar, books, printing machines, radio, tv and now internet. A long journey, better understood as a long war against the powers that always tried to control, silence, stop and put humanity back to darkness. Those powers will never succeed and the prove is here, just right now, that I’m writing whatever I want and you are free to read it or close this page.
Twitter, Facebook, Buzz, Flickr, and many others are just the beginning. Let’s participate in this changes, let’s be protagonists of the causes that will lead the effects for a better environment of free and open communication.
