Chat log between Dung and Shimizu

Le Dung: you wanted to confirm if the webservice
Le Dung: is only to translate from Japanese to many languages
Shimizu: oh yeah, like http proxi.
Shimizu: you know proxi, right?
Le Dung: yeah, no, no
Shimizu: oh no
Shimizu: ?
Le Dung:
Le Dung: the web service should be a portal
Shimizu: ohh portal for foreigners in Japan?
Le Dung: each user can choose his/her language
Shimizu: oh yeah?
Shimizu: But you said "elderly people " in the mail.
Shimizu: What's the relation between elderly people and portal?
Le Dung: ah, "elderly people " is "Japanese people"
Shimizu: Ah Japanese elder people?
Le Dung: 1. Motivation:
- In Japan, the population of the elderly people with some kind of
functional disorders will be increased. One of Japanese Government is to
hire oversea workers. These foreigners will need many services to help
them to adaptive new life.
Shimizu: ah~~~
Le Dung: our users are foreigners
Shimizu: Workerds are wanted in Japan, do you mean?
Le Dung: I think Japanese system is so good
Shimizu: Ah the system of websites in Japan?
Le Dung: no no, the social service
Le Dung: for foreigners, the social service works very well if they speak Japanese
Le Dung: being a foreigner in Japan, I understand that
Le Dung: foreigners meet many difficulties to live in Japan
Shimizu: oh yeah,
Shimizu: So do you think it would be nice if there was a webservice for foreigners in Japan to get a job?
Le Dung: ah, no, no, it is another topic
Shimizu: ahah really?
Le Dung: but I think they need a webservice
Le Dung: providing information to live here
Shimizu: ah~~~
Le Dung: for example,
Shimizu: Isn't there such a website?
Shimizu: I thought it exists of course.
Le Dung: if they want to extend their visa ...
Le Dung: yeah, exactly, there are some, if not many
Le Dung: but I think it is still not good enough
Le Dung: for example, in my case
Shimizu: yeah?
Le Dung: my wife will deliver a baby in Japan
Shimizu: ah~~~ oh yeah
Le Dung: we asked Vietnamese
Le Dung: they know the process, ...
Le Dung: but they don't know exactly which hospital is near my location
Le Dung: another thing, to get an Internet connection in my area
Le Dung: only JCOM and NTT are available
Le Dung: we have to spend a lot of time to figure it out
Le Dung: of course, now, mobile internet is available everywhere
Shimizu: ah
Shimizu: ohhhh
Shimizu: Oh yeah, that's important for a foreigner like you.
Le Dung: so I proposed this idea
Shimizu: I think message board would be better than portal.
Shimizu: because what foreigners need differ and are various,
Le Dung: maybe you are right
Shimizu: it's a lot of work to collect all the information for them and make portal.
Le Dung: yeah\
Shimizu: So maybe case by case, it might be better to compile and increase knowledge on message board.
Le Dung: hum, it's true
Le Dung: so do you think this webservice is worth to develop?
Shimizu: Do you think there is a message board to exchange information for foreigners?
Shimizu: ah,
Shimizu: ah~~~~~
Shimizu: If there's no competitor, I might develop it.
Le Dung:
Le Dung: it might take time to figure out the competition
Shimizu: Ah I see.
Le Dung: vysa.jp is a website for Vietnamese
Shimizu: But if there's no competitor,
Shimizu: I'll think whether I'll make it or now.
Shimizu: because it's quite easy to make message board system.
Shimizu: ah for Vietnamese.
Shimizu: Is it in Vietnamese?
Le Dung: yeah
Shimizu: Ah I see.
Shimizu: Does it have message board system?
Le Dung: can you have a look at vysa.jp
Shimizu: ok
Shimizu: Ah this system uses XOOPS!
Le Dung: center is the news
Shimizu: It's apparent to use it because of the layout.
Shimizu: oh yeah
Le Dung: lelft side is the menu
Shimizu: yeah I know.
Le Dung: right side is the current topics of its forum
Shimizu: Oh I see
Shimizu: Yeah XOOPS is the best system for message board and what you say maybe.
Shimizu: So,
Shimizu: if there was such system as you say, how can you get profit from the website?
Le Dung: in my case ?
Shimizu: Yes, in your case instead of vysa.jp.
Le Dung: ah, I can write in Vietnamese
Shimizu: Ah , I mean,
Shimizu: How do you get money from visitors?
Shimizu: Would you sell some products or put advertisement?
Le Dung: good question
Shimizu: yeah yeah
Le Dung: advertisement might be good
Shimizu: ah I see.
Le Dung: for example, good ads
Shimizu: good ads?
Shimizu: ah~
Shimizu: I see.
Shimizu: And you'll get money from affiliate companies that manage advertisement?
Le Dung: google ads, sorry
Shimizu: ah I see, google Ads.
Shimizu: So, do you know normal click rate of ads on websites?
Le Dung: you must know it better than me
