akihabara, Opera, Japan, Jon S. von Tetzchner
A little while back, Opera's CEO Jon S. von Tetzchner visited Japan and spent some time in Akihabara, Tokyo's world-famous electronics and otaku hotspot (I talk about Akihabara a little bit in the following article:
Infornographic Design).
Mycom (
http://journal.mycom.co.jp/ ) covered that visit, and they just published an article about it (in Japanese):
http://journal.mycom.co.jp/articles/2007/11/05/opera/index.htmlI'm sure my colleagues at
Choose Opera Japan will post an English-language summary of the article shortly, but until then, enjoy the photos of Jon in Akihabara.

Some random news:
If you want some free Opera stickers, head over to Opera Watch and send an email to Daniel Goldman:
http://operawatch.com/news/2006/12/i-have-free-opera-stickers-to-give-away-help-promote-opera.htmlThe latest issue of Opera Bits just came out. In it, David Storey (Opera's Chief Web Opener) shares his thoughts on WebmasterWorld's
Pubcon event which several of us attended a few weeks ago.
Finally, Jon S. von Tetzchner (Opera's CEO) recently wrote a
post on the success of Opera Mini 3.0. This is also interesting because his identity on the MyOpera community is now fully
revealed for anyone to see. For years, his public profile was pretty anonymous, with no picture and very little info. Some veteran forum members knew who he was, but I'm not sure if it was ever widespread knowledge. It's funny to look at some of those old threads that he posted on; a lot of people didn't realize (at first, or ever) that they were talking with the CEO of Opera.
Anyhow, with the recent update of his profile, I predict that Jon will be added as a friend by a lot of people on the community.
