  1. It is interesting to see what similar businesses did differently when they used social media. Being able to see how it affects their business is cool to see. I found what you wrote interesting because I haven't seen how Japanese businesses use social media, so seeing what you wrote was really the first time I was able to compare multiple businesses outside the United States. I also found out that the strategies they use aren't too different from what businesses use in the United States.
