Talking about Japan, there is a Lonelygirl15 community on Mixi, the Japanese social network:

Hi Modelmotion, I got your message on mixi.
It's funny to see my mixi profile image here. Think you could maybe explain that?
By the way, if you need any help with Mixi, let me know.
Juuleeya is the person who invited me to join Mixi because Mixi is an invite only site. Juuleeya, whose icon is shown above, then sent me a note on Mixi about the LG15 community and that is how I discovered it. ~mm

ReplyDeleteHi Modelmotion, I got your message on mixi.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny to see my mixi profile image here. Think you could maybe explain that?
By the way, if you need any help with it, let me know.
By "it", I meant mixi. I'm forgetting my English. (haha)
ReplyDeleteGood idea:)
ReplyDeleteI am sure a few of us could use some help navigating Mixi.
Hope that clarified the post a little bit.
ReplyDeleteHa, it is crazy being on a Japanese site. Quite the adventure so thanks for the invite:)
I think this is Tokyo Prom Queen but i have not figured out where to go from there...

hey mm, can you shoot me a mixi invite (if you can figure how)? i want to stumble around too!
ReplyDeleteI can easily invite if Modelmotion has trouble- just send me your email address (I'm on LG15.com as well)
ReplyDeleteModelmotion, you appear to be at someone's blog. Do you know who it is?

I am stumbling around blind on Mixi so if juuleeya can send you an invite that would definately be a lot easier. It is hand to tell which button says send and which say delete....lol......
ReplyDeleteAnd no, I had no idea where I was, I just did a search on Mixi for Tokyo Prom Queen and that showed up.
I need to work on a bot algorithm for Japanese
juuleeya - that would be great. my email is [email protected]
ReplyDeleteok, juuleeya graciously sent me an invite, and this is what i learned. as of april 7, 2008 mixi seems to be forcing everyone to include a cellphone email adress for a japanese phone in order to register.
ReplyDeletehere is a great guide for trying to register that doesn't deal with this issue:
http://gaijinwomen.com/complete-the-new-member-registration-process/
this blog talks about the problem:
http://worshipandthearts.blogspot.com/2008/02/introduction-to-mixi-japanese-social.html
"As of April 7, Mixi requires a valid (Japanese) cellphone e-mail address in order to sign up for its membership. The only exception is when your "regular" e-mail address belongs to one of the ISP's recognized as "safe" by Mixi. As usual, Mixi will not publish the list of those "safe" providers."
it would seem to me the only way around this would be having to find a japanese person willing to "lend you" their cellphone address. if anyone figures out any other way, let me know. its an intriguing puzzle to get on the site.
addition: oh, i also guess if there is a "safe" regular email address one could acquire, that would work as well. like, for example, a japanese gmail? the second blogpost says:
ReplyDelete"BUT, if you try to register using an email address that you pay for, like "jcom.home.ne.jp" etc. one that is a contract provider, THEN Mixi doesn't require a mobile phone address!"
its not clear to me it HAS to be a pay email, but i don't know anything about free japanese email providers.
sheesh. this is worse than navigating lg15.com during the cassie days.
another addition:
ReplyDeletethis post and thread is full of commentary, but no one has figured out a way around it.
http://www.tofugu.com/2008/04/22/mixijp-hates-foreigners-now-requiring-a-mobile-email-address-to-join/
if you already have a mixi account, they are saying it seems you are safe for now.
Eeep, I didn't know about that. X(
ReplyDeleteDo you think that a Yahoo Japan email address work?
I'll let you all know if I think of anything.
nah, i don't think that will work based on what i read. yahoo, gmail, etc. aren't on their "approved" ISP list.
ReplyDeletethank you for the invite nonetheless, it was fascinating to learn a bit about the site, i even updated the english wikipedia page on mixi because it was terrible.
This was a pretty amazing discussion if you think about it. I love that we can help each other out (or try to at least). The interwebz RAWKS.
ReplyDelete:D Well, I hope I helped at least a little.
