日本のネット市場とビジネスに関して

人類は21世紀で「メディア時代」に向いて入りました。しかし、メディアの時代だけではありません。新時代のメディアは広告やエンターテイメントのためだけではなく、人と人の間にある繋がりツールです。最近多くの人たちはメールやインターネットを使用し、情報を集まったり社会化を広がるしています。
その上に、様々な会社が「現実」から「バーチャル」に商品とサービスを多くのお客さんに案内しています。むしろ事業に対して会社のオンライン「フートプリント」を作成することはお客さんにアピールするためだけではなく、お客さんと感情的関係を作ると最も重要な理由です。サイトを上手く使うと個人的なレベルで会社とお客さんのつながりを作ることも出来ます。そのことについて、日本のマーケティングとビジネス的なアプローチで統計より内容とコンテンツに中心した方がいいです。
実はネット上のお客さんがウェブサイトと食べ物の全く同じ行動で買います。例えばサイトを見て(デザイン)、香(情報量と内容)を確かめてから味を試させたくなると考えても間違いはありません。この様々な点にとって、日本のインターネット市場でお客さんともっと感情的な関係/繋がりを作るとインターネット上の売上もあがると考えられます。

Windmills

I have been always dwelling with myself to find a way to turn what I think to be idle and unproductive time into a productive and moreover profitable activity. Unfortunately, old habits die hard and it is even harder to make a move that would reorganize my own behavior to break up with the inertia [...]

A Better Tomorrow Now

Feeling and recognizing the meaning and implications of our feelings is what defines us as humans. However, overreacting impairs our faculty of rationalizing our behavior towards others, impoverishing the quality of our relations and wiping out the possibility of a balanced existence.

Is then, religion important for rectitude in life? Do we really think government [...]

New Year’s Recipe by Carlos Drummond
If you want to have a beautiful New Year
The color of the rainbow or the color of your peace,
A New Year beyond comparing to all the time you’ve already lived,
(lived badly perhaps or senselessly)
If you want to have a year
Not freshly painted with everything back on the right track,
But new [...]
