54 Hours To Build A Company: A Look At Startup Weekend Phoenix(October 21, 2008　TechCrunch)　

It’s been some time since we last covered Startup Weekend , a series of events that bring a roomful of developers and entrepreneurs together to develop new startups in only 54 hours. When the program originally launched last year, each weekend was geared towards building a single application, of which every participating member was a cofounder.

I think that several business idea will arise in 54 hours.

However, it is surprise that they develop startup of an actual business in 54 hours.

When becoming such a situation, can I start up a new business in 54 hours?

The work of administration and accounting in Japan moves to China, and the work of white-collar disappear from Japan.

It actually happens though a terrible title.

Work to think that only we were able to do was this work came to be outsourcing by making manual.

This tendency will accelerate more and more.

Then, white-collar in Japan that had done the work of administration and accounting up to now should do a different business.

The ability that white-collar in Japan is different from the situation to date comes to requested in the future, and work with high-value-added comes to be requested.

Such a day is already close.

5 Minute Mystery Is Appropriate Contents To Mobile Business.

Test Your Inner Sleuth With 5 Minute Mystery(October 20, 2008　TechCrunch)　

Now entrepreneur Randy Okane is trying to bring the format back to life at his site 5MinuteMystery.com.
Every day the site posts a new mystery, followed by the solution the next day. At the end of the story is a menu asking who the reader thinks committed the crime. Users are also asked to highlight up to four statements in each story, indicating if they either Exonerate or Incriminate one of story’s characters. To help spice things up, the site keeps score for every member based on their accuracy, with the most ingenious detectives featured on the site’s leaderboard.
Unlike many mystery stories, which tend to be gruesome, 5MinuteMystery is being written to appeal to a younger audience. Crimes are gore-free, and tend to be written at an accessible reading level. The site charges $20 a year for a daily subscription, and offers a program for schools and charities who receive 50% of all subscriptions sold through their fundraising efforts. Prospective authors can also submit their own stories and will be paid if their stories are published.

This business is an interesting business.

Is such a site also in Japan?

I do not think that there is such a site as long as I know.

Because the novel that can be read with the cellular phone in Japan is popular, this site might be good for a mobile business.

When a little free time can be done, this site might just be good.

Parents do not worry if the content is made a story to consider young reading population either.

Moreover, it might be good all the more for this if becoming the capital to the school and the charity group.

In addition, it is likely to become a contest like a good gateway to success for the person who aims at the mystery writer.

It is likely to become a dream story that the prize is obtained and the road of the mystery writer of a real sect opens it to the most interesting mystery writer up to now if adopted.

If the idea of this site is taken, it seems to become a better site though such a site might already be also in Japan.

Would Apple really shutter iTunes? Unlikely(September 30, 2008 CNET)

Fortune magazine published a bombshell of a story on Tuesday by reporting that Apple once threatened to close iTunes if forced to pay more for music royalties. A more careful reading of the statement from an Apple executive shows that it was more of a veiled threat. Regardless, it’s possible Apple could shut down iTunes.

Apple seemed that there is a possibility of closing iTunes if it raises the price of royalty of music.

It is natural that Apple makes remarks like this.

The purpose of the reason why the enterprise is doing the business is to turn out profit.

Therefore, if the profit cannot be obtained, it is natural that there is a possibility of ending the management of iTunes.

How do it become it when it raises the price of the music sold with iTunes?

If it raises the price of the music sold with iTunes, it is possible that the charm to the price is lost, the number of customers decreases, and the quantity sold decreases.

In a word, it is thought that sales of both Apple and the artist decrease by that.

In addition, the profit will decrease in the royalty as for Apple if it raises the price of the music.

Then, the meaning that does this business is lost.

Will WebMD Lose Its Stranglehold Over Health Information? (September 10, 2008 TechCrunch)

If Revolution Health and Everyday Health merge, best estimates suggest the combined firm would surpass WebMD’s monthly visitors mark and supplant the well-known company as the leader in health information.
At the very least, the fact that its two main competitors are even talking should put WebMD on notice. In the past year alone, the online health information sector grew by 21 percent — more than four times as fast as the rest of the Web. Realizing that, there are more money-making opportunities than ever before for these companies and WebMD needs to ensure that it’s in a prime position to capitalize on that growth.
But how can it do that? Assuming Revolution Health and Everyday Health merge, WebMD doesn’t have too many options available if it wants to acquire another service and increase its presence online. The only other relevant sites in the space are AOL Health, About.com Health, and Yahoo Health, and there’s little doubt that WebMD wouldn’t be able to acquire any of those. It looks like it will need to “go it alone” if it wants to stay number one.

How should WebMD does to maintain the top excluding the method of purchasing the other companies?

It should not persist in the maintenance of the top.

It is necessary to make the healthy information site seen from a new viewpoint.

It is necessary to establish a new project team for that.

In addition, if the project team grows, the site will grow.

Because the health information seen from a new angle is obtained even if failing, the site is sure to be enhanced.

IPhone is the topic in Mobile business now.

There is a topicality in iPhone, and sales in all parts of the world seem to be also good.

There are a lot of the topics of the problem at the weakness of the battery and the speed of the 3G network etc recently.

However, sales of iPhone are said six million, and can be said that it is still few compared with a number mobile of the world.

Nokia is a number 1 when seeing in a worldwide mobile market.

A portable career manufacturer in Japan cannot compete.

I think that a mobile career and manufacturer in Japan cannot compete but do not try to compete.
I think that it does a good match if it thinks a portable career of Japan makes carrying in the platform of the world standard with a portable manufacturer and the portable contents manufacturer.

Mobile careers and manufacturers in Japan does good match Nokia if they makes mobile in the platform of the world standard with mobile manufacturers and the mobile contents manufacturers.

It is difficult to expect it because all are stories of assumption.

It seems that a level mobile of Japan is high if mobile of Japan are compared with mobile of the world.

Moreover, mobile contents are sure to have a lot of excellent things in Japan.

However, the mobile of Japan cannot fight against the world because it is not mobile of the world standard that can be used in the world when even the one is so wonderful.

So, a peculiar mobile culture might be made.

As if, only a portable culture of Japan is in the isolated island.

It might be near to close the country.

However, the application business of iPhone is open (However, though it is necessary to receive the inspection of Apple), and the mobile contents manufacturer in Japan also has come round the chance.

And, the mobile world is sure to be globalized further in the future by Android of Google.

Then, the chance comes to mobile contents of Japan more and more.

It might be mobile careers of Japan that becomes a problem.

It is necessary to discuss it like being able promptly to do mobile making of the world standard.
It wishes that the future of mobile business of Japan be bright.
