Who can read Japanese in K4L community? And for those who can read Japanese, have you heard of MIXI? Everyone in Japan uses MIXI these days. MIXI is a Japanese version of myspace and you only can be invited by a friend. I don't really like myspace but i love using mixi! It has some cool features!

Myspace is in Japan now, but they got such a late start compared to MIXI, that I bet they will have a hard time making it work....why jump ship if you are already established in Mixi.

Can we create a 1000 post forum to break you in?! I believe several people are on there way after you.

My girlfriend uses MIXI. I think it is more a blog site than a networking site if I understand it correctly.

More people use it as a blog, but the networking function is certainly there

Nice, Congrats Vapor! Osu! It looks very well with your alias.

Yer MIXI is not just a blog site. There are many communities around and you can connect with people. It's a lot cleaner and better than myspace IMO. It certainly has helped me to catch up with my old mates.

I was searching through mixi last week or so, and I must say that I was rather amazed...

Our organization is doing a promotion with Volvic Japan over the summer, so the logo is on the bottles, and in every convenience store...

A good number of people had gone to the trouble to take pictures of the water bottles in the store....and done a write up about the campaign, and they were encouraging others to but Volvic, over other beverage selections, as a way to contribute to the works that Volvic (Danone) and our organization are doing in Africa...

I totally didn't expect it to be picked up on and in such detail by your everyday user....

SNS is a powerful tool, that is for sure!!

It can't chat online but it's an advanced SNS like myspace with slight differences in features and more Japanese orientated.

StarKodama > I found a place called "Valerie Studio" the other day when I was walking from dojo.
