Japanese Web outlook and predictions for 2011
Here's something I missed a few weeks ago in the Japan Times... Last year saw many changes for Japanese Internet users as people began to shift from Japanese social networks to international ones, and from regular cellphones to smart phones. The international influence was felt in other web-based areas too. So what can we expect for 2011? Twitter: The 2010 results for Yahoo! Japan's annual search rankings were not that different from those in 2009. But one buzzword that did jump up drastically...

I've been out on the town countless times and looked around to find some girls snapping away at their latest gastronomic conquest. I used to think this was just something only my over-observant @$$ was noticing and shrugged it off... However recently I've been checking the...

Facebook×日本
Looks like Facebook is making it's push into JapanLand in earnest now... If you want the most attention as an internet site in Japan, you NEED a mobile presence. Twitter didn't gain traction until they got with the program.... Who would have thought that Twitter would have become such a huge hit in Japan – well it has and this is evident from the millions who mumble online. The reason why people are shocked at Twitter’s popularity in this country is because another social networking site already tried its...
