日本のEC最大手の楽天が、北米シリコンバレーで人気が過熱するサービス「Pinterest」へ大型出資を実現させたと、AllThingsDigital等が報じている。 その額は1億ドル以上と巨額、時価総額15億ドル超での出資となりそうだ。 Piterestと楽天の相性は？ 記事ではまもなく公式発表があるとのことだが、業界内での反応は「ソーシャルとECはフィットする」というものから「楽天のデザインとPinterestのデザインは親和性があるのか？」というものまで多様。 ミクシィがDeNAと提携して展開する「mixiモール」があるように、すでにソーシャルコマースに商機を見出そうとする動きは活発化している状態。 世界での展開を加速させる楽天としては、超モテスタートアップのPinterestを射止めたとなればさらなるシェア拡大の足がかりとして大きな一歩となると考えられる。 【関連URL】 ・Excl

[読了時間：2分] バズワード乱発の状況ってあまり好きじゃないんだけど、これからの社会の課題を考えるきっかけになるかなと思って最近読んだ英語の書籍の中に出てきた「エンゲージメント・エコノミー」という言葉を紹介したい。 ちょっと前までアテンション・エコノミーという言葉がバズワードだった。情報は無限に溢れ出したけど人間が気にかけることのできる情報量って昔と変わっていない。なのでどの情報に注意、アテンションを向けるべきか、ユーザーの注意、アテンションをどうすればひきつけられるか、ということがテーマになる。 資源には限りがあるのでそれをどう分配するのか、というのが経済学の考え方だけど、同様に人間のアテンションも有限なので、どう分配すべきか、どう取得すべきかって話だ。 一方でエンゲージメント・エコノミーは、「アテンション」ではなく「エンゲージメント」に限りがあるという話。つまり自分が関わることができ
