We expect the apps help people share the joy of motor vehicles. We are working in the motor industry, which prevents us from inventing something new transcending our imagination. We&#8217;re looking forward to\u00a0great ideas from everyone.\u00a0 We hope this contest may contribute to bringing\u00a0good trends\u00a0to motor, game and social app industries.&#8221;<br \/>\n<strong>Via<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/japan.cnet.com\/news\/business\/20425909\/\">CNET Japan[J]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toyota Marketing Japan(TMJ)[J], a 100%\u00a0subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation, announced it would have a contest on ideas of new apps integrating social network platforms which\u00a0especially intend to make people interested in motor vehicles, in association with NHN Japan, GREE, DeNA, Mixi and Yahoo.\u00a0 Presidents of those companies will serve as the judges of the contest.&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/asiajin.com\/blog\/2011\/02\/toyotas-marketing-arm-to-hold-social-app-contest-and-cheer-motor-industry\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Toyota&#8217;s Marketing Arm To Hold Social App Contest And Cheer Motor Industry<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":12658,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[9,17,24,31],"tags":[3425,3784],"class_list":["post-12649","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-company","category-japan","category-news","category-social-game-2","tag-social-network-service","tag-toyota","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/asiajin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12649","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/asiajin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/asiajin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asiajin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asiajin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12649"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/asiajin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12649\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asiajin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/asiajin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12649"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asiajin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12649"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/asiajin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
