Do not forget about Asian Bloggers. For example, there are more blogger posts in Japanese than any other language in the world including English. This data comes from Technorati Inc. out of 113 million blogs last year 37% were posted in Japanese. Steve Weber an American author of marketing online books says that “Japanese are far more advanced in making their publications on-line available than Americans or the rest of the English speaking world”.
The blogging style of Japanese bloggers is different than English bloggers. A Japanese blogger tends to posts as exchanges between friends and a personal outlet. English bloggers tend to posts on Political, technological and other issues as a news source.
A star is born and her name is Mieko Kawakami. Mieko San won this year’s Akutagawa Award Japans most prestigious literary award for new writers. Mieko San’s blogs averages 10,000 readers per day and went to 200,000 readers the night of her receiving the award.
Mieko San’s secret to success is not to posts on topics of relationships with men and sexuality. Her posts are based on the idea of a Japanese woman always doing our best at living. She also uses the Osaka dialect that has become the hip hop slang of modern Japan. The Osaka dialect is widely popular with Japanese comedians much like the Issan dialect is popular with comedians in Thailand.
