    First public advertisement of IDN in Tokyo

    On my way to a business meeting, I was riding the JR East train from Tokyo and saw the first public advertisement of Japanese IDN. What a shocker! I wanted to take a picture, but my battery ran out of my phone. If i see it again, ill post the pic.

    "急募.com/"
    "kyubo.com"
    Are owned by one of the biggest publishing company in Japan.
    I guess i should get on the wagon with the other owners of IDN.

    Is this the first one you've seen? Funny thing is kyubo.com and 急募.com leads to different sites.

    Well, we've already got a year, to be precise, 15 months of mad rush on Japanese dot coms at IDNF. It will be a challenge to find good single term generics at this point.

    That's a pretty strange remark. Do you understand the reasoning behind IDNs or are you just put off by languages you don't speak? If it is the former, we can help explain.

    I wouldn't worry about Stuff. He's been against IDN since we've been telling everyone a year ago. Now even in the face of decent and with Asian society changing like we said it would; he still can't admit it.

    True. I must add that typing in Japanese in the URL is MUCH easier than typing in english. He just missed out. Im not going to cry for him. He is only wrapped up in his own world. Probably never left his city. i think it will be a big hit here in Japan!

    oh! I was never anti-idn. Just at the time, i had seen no idns in the public trains. So just last Tuesday, i saw one.
    (i get a lot of anti.mobi remarks, so i know the feeling being "anti-ed")
    Still cant find the picture. I take a different train so the advertisements are different. if i get on the train that i took on last Tuesday, ill take a pic of it.

    That's why we were trying to tell you before IDN hit the public eye.

    Now that it has it's only going to snowball from here. Hope you have your skis.
