Transform Your Business Blog

Ever wish you had a place to submit stories about Japan and vote on them? Now you do.

I recently stumbled on JapanSoc, a new site that looks like it’s putting a pretty good idea to work. On the site’s about page, it simply says, “JapanSoc is a social bookmarking site, devoted to news and stories about Japan.”

Creator Nick Ramsay has created a platform that anyone who uses Digg will find familiar. The idea is simple - when you come across a story you like that’s related to Japan, submit it to the site. Users then vote for the stories they like and the cream floats to the top.

Given the explosion in the number of Japan-related blogs and sites in English that we’ve seen over the past two years, this is bound to attract some attention. There don’t seem to be a whole lot of users on JapanSoc yet, but that will change once some of the bigger Japan blogs start linking to it and talking about it.

And then we’ll just be waiting for the Japanese version!
