Cell Phone novels in japan post

“Will cellphone novels kill ‘the author’?” a famous literary journal, Bungaku-kai, asked on the cover of its January issue. Fans praised the novels as a new literary genre created and consumed by a generation whose reading habits had consisted mostly of manga, or comic books. Critics said the dominance of cellphone novels, with their poor literary quality, would hasten the decline of Japanese literature.

Whatever their literary talents, cellphone novelists are racking up the kind of sales that most more experienced, traditional novelists can only dream of.

One such star, a 21-year-old woman named Rin, wrote “If You” over a six-month stretch during her senior year in high school. While commuting to her part-time job or whenever she found a free moment, she tapped out passages on her cellphone and uploaded them on a popular Web site for would-be authors. most of the novels that come out of japan are anime and manga and they would be awesome to have on our phones if we needed them. we could read books on the go and save them for later. this would be an improvement anywhere. if you can also write novels on the cell phone it can be a great help. writers could think of ideas and write them down instantly and travel with them for later use.

Post about Yahoo


yahoo has changed alot over the years trying to keep up with the other corporations. now they asked the co-founder of yahoo, Mr. Yang, to run the company and he said he would do it. he said there will be no new face because hes been around from the beginning. there will be new things for yahoo he says. yahoos email program is great and their trying to make it better. he is going to change the yahoo email and other online services to change peoples minds and come back to yahoo. at this show in las Vegas when he was asked to run the company he showed the people there a glimpse of what the new online services would be like. they would be more high tech than anything out there as of now. it would allow people to send messages inviting friends for dinner and you could drag the message to a map and it will find restaurants for you. Mr. yang wants to make yahoo the primary starting point for Internet users. Successfully transforming the Yahoo portal is only one of the challenges facing Yahoo.
Mr. yang is coming up with a solution for it. It must also revitalize its advertising business and find a way to compete more effectively with Google in Internet search, a vital source of revenue. But the portal changes are a critical element of the company’s strategy to hold on to its large audience.

Post on frustration to learning from class blog

i had a time of frustration with the tables when i was trying to get the checker board to work. i searched for a long time to see what was the problem. what happened was i couldnt get the checkerboard aligned right so it would be (red and black) red, red, black, red, black. it took me a while to find out what was wrong but once i did it was a ahah! moment. what happened was i forgot to close the checkerboard column piece with an ending bracket so i was releaved after i finished it.
