Joi Ito en USA Today

El periódico estadounidense USA Today publica hoy un artículo sobre Joi Ito: Japanese Internet star spreads blogging gospel:

«After developing some of the country's hottest Net ventures, the 37-year-old entrepreneur has a new mission: Making the journals known as weblogs, or blogs, not just a thriving business but also a key element of everyday life here».

«Blogging is such an integral part of Ito's life that he recently decided against expanding Neoteny's dozen-company portfolio to focus on Six Apart Ltd., the California company behind Movable Type and TypePad, among the leading tools for blogging. He promotes the technology in Japan as chairman of Six Apart's Japanese subsidiary. Ito also leads the international and mobile operations of Technorati Inc., a Web service that ranks blogs by popularity and monitors the Net for the latest buzz among bloggers».

Últimamente, los periodistas comienzan a usar los blogs como fuente de inspiración para sus historias. Algunos otros ejemplos recientes: El supuesto éxito empresarial de Nick Denton y sus blogs temáticos o la bloguera del Senado estadounidense que desvela sus amantes como si fuera Antonio Salas.
