A couple weeks ago, I ordered a Japanese magazine called Bloggers Volume 1 from Amazon.co.jp. I just received my copy in the mail, and it’s even neater than it looks. The interviews with Ben and Mena Trott, Anil Dash, Howard Rheingold and Joi Ito are in full color, and there are in-depth reviews of Typepad, Blosxom, RSS readers, and more. Of course, I can’t understand a single word, which makes it even more exotic.
I scanned in the cover and the first six pages, which is an interview with Ben, Mena, and Anil. Enjoy.
wish it was in English! Is it available here (in the US)?
Finally, Ben, Anil and Mena get their own much-deserved anime comic…
Blogger kitty-girl loves American TrackBack New York Rock-and-Roll Kottke-time oh!!!!
Thank you for ordering.
I surprised the order from other country.
Please buy at KINOKUNI-YA in SHINJUKU TOKYO 😉
I see. And you bought this because?
It’s a Japanese book about bloggers, with five power rangers on the cover! Need I say more?
sometimes it’s better not knowing what the text says. i see it as ben vs. mena at the science fair with their teacher, anil, declaring mena the winner.
Now all we need is for someone to translate the Amazon.jp customer reviews.
I translated the Amazon.jp customer reviews below.
However I think it’s not so essential comment
that fall short of your expectations.
But I also think this book is a good help
for Japanese Blogger(or Networker) gain
interest and understanding in blog.
My homage to your scan:
