winyy Issue #11米国の独立記念日休暇も終わり、政治の季節になってきていることを感じます。Facebookへの広告ボイコットもうねりになってきており、”政治とのsocial distance”の落ち着きどころを見ていきたいと思います。今週は、Alphabet（Google持株会社）傘下の研究組織Xが進めてきた気球によるインターネットサービスLoon商業化のニュースがありました。2011年頃から研究が始まったと聞きますので実現まで10年。過去類似のアイデアを持つスタートアップや構想は多数ありましたが商業化まで持ち込んだのはGoogleの執念ですね。そして、先週一番クリックされた記事は、”イノベーションには３つのR、reimagine, redesign and reorganizeが重要"という記事でした。今週号も気に入ってもらえたら、メールの末尾の「いいね！」ボタンをお願いします！拡散大歓迎。サインナップはこちら。winyy Issue #11After the July 4th holidays, it looks the political season is approaching.
