OtakuPop
A few people have asked me what I think of Tokyopop's site relaunch as a theOtaku/myOtaku clone (with a small dose of Digg). This happened a few months ago, but I'll chime in now.

To be honest, I love it!

The ability for anime fans to create blogs that link to their fan works to build an audience is something we pioneered *years* ago. The fact that a company like Tokyopop wants to copy us validates our position.

I also love competition because it will help us evolve and grow faster.

Furthermore, by turning their entire site into a theO/myO clone, they're growing our audience. Every member they register will look for new ways to submit their work and build an audience. We'll be the direct beneficiary of that.

So, Tokyopop, I'm flattered and no hard feelings.

...Let the games begin!
