Checking In
Wow, it's been a while since I've blogged anything of note.

I've been busy. Very busy.

You know, graduating college, trying to find temporary housing, the job search, and my general duties at theOtaku have kept me from reflecting here. That is, until now.

(Insert evil laugh.)

Before I do anything, I have to thank the hard work of our staff, who've kept the site running smoothly during my intermittent absence.

In the short-term, these are the things you can expect to see from our network:

(1) Art of Otaku: This will be the ultimate guide to drawing anime, created by some of our best artists.

(2) 1-2 new functions/areas on theOtaku.com

(3) myOtaku 3.0

(4) Our premium services launch

(5) (#5 is too tenuous to name.)

Once we get these things out the door this summer, the main question will be on whether or not we should expand the network horizontally. Currently, we're focused on vertical growth (in anime), but the network does scale nicely into areas such as gaming, fiction, general artwork, etc.

First thing's first though. We'll see where all the above take us. Then we'll decide what next from there. Our premium service will basically dictate this.

Some days, I feel like we can conquer the world. We have such terrific talent and experience on our staff. Other days, I'm more pragmatic and worry about things such as the state of the anime industry as a whole, the state of online advertising, our readership numbers, and so on.

To close, you can expect more blog entries by me. I have some interesting experiences I'd like to share with you :-).
