The Power of Kuchikomi

'Kuchikomi' which in Japanese translates as 'person to person communication' through information technology such as mobile devices, hyperlinks, blogs, and social networks. In English we don't quite have a word for it...we say 'networking' or 'updating' to describe the high-speed way our world now communicates through online news, social networking sites, and texts. But in Japanese, the variety of communications we use for business and social purposes is simply called "kuchikomi". And though we have these seemingly disparate sources of info, from hard news to Facebook to party circles to business networking socials, we CAN connect all of them. For me I officially put it all into play recently.
