There’s a lovely story in this morning’s Washington Post about the gentle bloggers of Japan. Apparently, the Japanese blog differently than Americans do. Their goal is to fit in and get along rather than stand out.
My favorite bit describes a 43 year old women who blogs about her lunch. She observes tastes and textures of in fine detail. But never criticizes quality or service. She says “If I think the food stinks, I don’t write it. I don’t want to influence the diners.” There’s a lot of generosity there.
