GIGAZINE Secret Club 1st off-club event report & keynote rough version by editor-in-chief

On Sunday, October 26, 2014, we finally carried out the "off party" that we had foretold at GIGAZINE's new headquarters.

That's why the setting scene of the day before. I am pasting the screen and sticking it on the wall of the large conference room of the new head office. Here I present my presentation with a projector.


Meanwhile, this is a snack shop for everyone to eat pakpak during the break on the day. Even GIGAZINE ""Aunt Stella's Cookie" I ate all 16 types of cookies at an all-you-can-eat storeThat's that cookie I skipped a huge hit.


The lineup is different depending on the day I go, but the date of purchase is like this


Tentatively purchase all types


Everyone does not necessarily eat as much as one kind so we adjust variously around that


When you place an order saying "Please tell me all by one end from the end, please ○ ○ pieces" as a trick glue one


That said, it is like this when actually putting it in a basket. It was a feeling like "There are not too many?", But in an emergency situation that it actually spends too much. The remaining part was taken away by the members and staff who helped everyone else.


So, for some reason I will make lottery, I hit the 1st etc and get something of Halloween. What luck, but to be used up here ... ....


"Because I am only a sweet one, I also want a little salty!" That means "get squid fried cracker"


With that momentum also "Get Fried Rice Cracker"


By now that it will be together, "Shrimp from fried shrimp" It is a lineup that seems to do with some drinking but it is Kinishinai.


And on that day, the venue of the off party is here


Projected with the projector on the wall like this


The cafeteria located next to me is in a resting state


And at the start time, the editor-in-chief came from the waiting room and started presentation


In addition, the enlarged image of the presentation slide of the day, the image partially removed from the mosaic, the things shown to the members who came off-site,Another article of GIGAZINE secret club members only. Since it is a rough summary from here, I am forgiving about that. It keeps it to the last to seize the atmosphere.

Editor-in-chief Appearance, Baba


Supporting GIGAZINE are "readers" who read every day, and those of "GIGAZINE" editorial staff who continues to make articles


Here, introduction of editorial staff


Wow


Further review by data of outsiders


The number of accesses ceased around 2009 and 2010 ... ... but in fact it has grown rapidly since April 2013.


Access analysis result of May 2014As you can see, it achieves close to 100 million page views


The cause is the spread of smartphones


, While looking at the analysis result of Google Analytics, a comment about the unknown GIGAZINE reader



In short, the number of new readers has increased. As a result, the ratio between new readers and regular readers is like this.


Once again, the analysis result of Google Analytics.


So, who is the actual GIGAZINE reader?


Because we can share such raw data, "secret", the name is "GIGAZINE secret clubThat's why.



Also publish YouTube analytics



In addition, Twitter analytics is fully publicized as well



Supported by these readers, 14 years have passed since the start of GIGAZINE.


Initially I had a lot of problems both in terms of money and operation.


However, it overcomes various problems and it is to tanton.


We have achieved debt management and profitability at the present moment


And in August 2014 moved here to the new headquarters


Originally I am remodeling the building which was "Ryokan"


Before renovating the large conference room that became the venue here


New headquarters entrance


New server room. On that day,Platinum member of GIGAZINE secret clubHe took a tour of Coco.


Editorial department, Coco also visits area


Why did you move the new headquarters? The question. These questions in advanceMembers of GIGAZINE Secret ClubCollected from.


And answer, this is a secret


Q: How much are you conscious about the reliability of articles?Editor's bookAs I see Gigazine accessing everyday, I tend to trust that Gigazine is treated positively, how about that?



For example, it is pointed out that "Frequently asked questions about tasting articles is" Are you requesting interview beforehand? "


The answer is "not doing".


This is the same idea as a masked surveyor by Michelin.


If you know that it's an investigator of Michelin, the store you would like me to write should certainly offer special dishes.


But ordinary general customers can not eat such special dishes


So Michelin hides the identity and pretends to the general public


Because that leads to the most important value for Michelin readers, "facts"


Since GIGAZINE is also the same idea, I will not tell you that "I am GIGAZINE" to the taste destination.


I go to the store as an ordinary person, pay money, eat and write articles. So, for example, "The painful news (No ∀ `):" Denny's "Apology ... Everything you can eat pancake all-you-can-eat plan is also crushed rash with" Two small pancakes being brought in two hours "- Livedoor blog"Is on the net, while GIGAZINE"I went to see all you can eat Denny 's pancakes that you can freely topple with pancakes - GIGAZINE"It is inevitable that an article called" It is obvious that the result is different if there is nothing to do with the shop and time zone going.


It may be unfaithful to the store because we do not make an interview in advance. , But gives priority to "facts" for readers.


It depends on the reader how much you trust that "fact".


For example, "Rakuten has sold personal information for 10 yen per case"


this:"Rakuten, personal information including user's e-mail address was downloaded and sold as "1 case 10 yen" - GIGAZINE"


Since the URL of the source is clearly indicated in the article, anyone can confirm that it is "fact" by clicking


However, about a week after the article was published, it was accused of being "bullshit"


Because it was an unbelievable item of "facts"


Even if the fact is really correct, I can not believe it immediately if it is too shocking


After one week the Yomiuri Shimbun caught up and reported the exact same content and the flow changed.


The example of Rakuten took a week, but it also takes more time


For example, in case of "SOFTBANK MOBILE iPhone down payment problem"


this:"What should I do if the supermarket price called "down payment" "contract money" has been taken by SoftBank Shop etc? - GIGAZINE"


Immediately after the posting of this article, iPhone users of the time were accused fiercely


It is said that "It is natural for a down payment to take place."


However, when the next iPhone releases one year later, the tide has changed steadily, and many iPhone users accused him of sneaking on this story against Son Son Ji


this:""Down payment" charged for iPhone 4 reservation may disappear - GIGAZINE"



Why did this happen?


It was the professional user who had the iPhone at the beginning of the article posting, and even if it considers as a usual, even if it is funny, it is detailed to the industry, so it is not noticed that it is strange


However, one year after the article was posted, it was the ordinary people who started to buy the iPhone, I did not know the circumstances of the industry, I do not know the circumstances of the industry


Quotation: "There are many things that is not commonplace for another person for the sake of ourselves"


Even with the same facts, if the position of the acquaintance is different, the interpretation is totally different.


In other words, whether or not the "fact" is really correct can be proved in the end with the passage of "time"


Other secret exposures as to what "facts" were about "what GIGAZINE is not good!" As far as articles were posted in other media,I plan to do it off-line in a yearSo please do not hesitate to contact us.


Q: What time do I usually go for work, departure time and bedtime?


Hoshigorigafufagaba!


Q: I think that there are many articles that introduce the importance of sleeping, but did the average sleeping time of editor-in chief changed between when GIGAZINE was founded and now?


A: Like this


* Although it is personal information, we released a mosaic-free version properly at the off-club meeting. Also,It is possible to see the enlarged image version in this articleis.


GIGAZINE 's articles The good things about the' criterion 'that something will be chosen


Have you noticed that the tendency of articles posted in GIGAZINE has changed significantly since 2010, or is it returning to the origin point?


GIGAZINE was originally an editor-in-chief person himself, it was made by myself


The standard at that time is "to memorize the things you care and interesting, put together, put together, easy to forget"


Essentially all the weekly articles of GIGAZINE at present are composed of editor-in chiefs "things I want to read, things I want to know"


Generic media is made up of "objects I want to convey" by the producer side, but GIGAZINE is composed of true and reverse, as a reader, it consists of "things I want to read"


So, when you talk to people in various media, they do not intermingle much ...


Because GIGAZINE has a strong sense of consciousness as "reader" instead of "creator"


If you say director, Quentin · Tarantino or Anno Hideaki closer to ideas


Both of them are intelligent curiosity that requires huge inputs in the first place and catastrophe of intellectual interest etc.


In short, the old-fashioned "otaku"


I want to know "things I do not know elsewhere" because there are so many inputs


Such things will become articles of GIGAZINE


Therefore, the guest of this time is basically chosen from the viewpoint of such "reader"


So after the break is finally the appearance of the guest!


That's why the rest is next week again.

What is the detailed version of the above contents, that is, "What did the editor-in chief say while watching this presentation?" Or "What part of the mosaic is actually like?In the articles for members of GIGAZINE secret club are roughly open to the publicis.
