Softbank Group’s Meru-Ado Takuhaibin (means “Email Address Door-to-Door Deliveryâ€), which we reported last December, lets people send parcels only by e-mail address, i.e. without knowing the recipients’ real address, now start supporting emerging messaging endpoint, Twitter. When a sender shows their intention to send a package to another Twitter user, this service asks to the recipient if s/he wo
Bijin Tokei: Japanese company offers Hot-girl-clock gadget
Finally a Google and Windows Vista gadget that makes sense. Tokyo-based PHIRIA DESIGN has developed the Bijin Tokei (hot girl clock) gadget, which shows random Japanese girls holding up a sign that displays the current time (see the pictures below for examples). So every time you look at the gadget, you will know what time it is and get to see pretty girls simultaneously. This is pure genius. Guy

Niconico douga
Niconico douga is a rapidly growing video sharing site in Japan. Site’s feature is not very different from Youtube, but one cool difference gained big attraction. The difference is a comment feature which enables users to write timely comments on the video screen itself. The feature allowed users to share ‘experience’ with other users. Niconico douga attracted many users quickly. At a start, they
Q&A: What is the Japanese equivalent of [Western web service]?
Here is a list of where Japanese users usually go on the web when they want to connect with their friends, buy something or get information. I feature “made-in-Japan†sites and software only (well, almost), knowing that i.e. Google, Amazon and Firefox are highly popular in this country as well. Some of these Japanese sites are also available in English. I linked to the English versions whenever po
Facebook will possibly fail in Japan
Last month I was asked some comments on how Facebook will do in Japanese market by other media. Unfortunately my comments were not taken so I post my answers here. What is the biggest obstacle for Facebook in Japan? The biggest problem is lack of Japanese applications. I agree that Facebook third-party applications are a good driving force which Mixi, Mobage-Town and Gree do not have (so far). How

Tokyo2point0 event: Recruit API and Marketing in virtual worlds
This Tuesday, the 9th Tokyo2point0 event in Harajuku/Tokyo was held. As always, the venue was totally crowded. More info can be found on the Tokyo2point0 site, the Facebook group or on Mixi. This month the event featured two presentations which left more time for networking. I had the feeling that the event was more fun and fruitful because of that. Also, both presentations were given in English a
