Meckler rising

For many years, Alan Meckler has been one of the B2B media industries most effective self-publicists. In my opinion, he outdoes the governments of Singapore and Shanghai combined. That puts him in the league of the true elite.

With that health warning, I direct you to his post on apparent rise of the Japanese version of internet.com which I gather from his post on his entertaining blog, he still owns. As the posts often are, it's a bit thin on specifics, but he says:

In the last year or so Japan.Internet.Com has been growing rapidly. Similar to what we are doing in the United States, our Japanese version of Internet.com is adding features this year. This is a much smaller online media business than Internet.com in the USA, but it is growing rapidly. Last year it grew about 30% with nice profits and we hope it can match that growth this year.
