Infocom Corporation, a Tokyo-based system integration company whose subsidiary is the world’s famous blog platform developer Six Apart, launched Japan’s first Android app showcase portal in English today called Tabroid. Some readers in Japan may be aware that its Japanese version launched one month ago.
The portal is maintained by Mediagene Inc who’s known for running Japanese editions of popular tech-savvy blogs such as Gizmodo and Lifehacker. The company has a bunch of app reviewers and bloggers across the country, and their blog posts will be published in the both languages from now on.
The manager of the department of Internet business development at Infocom Co., Mr.Kazumi Hirooka, explains that they want to partner with tech blogs and news media all across the world, and elevate it into a platform that can spread Japan-made, high-quality Android apps globally by being referenced by many news readers and bloggers.
Their business model is completely ad-based for now, but Mr. Hirooka wants to explore more potential ways to monetize his business.
