googleが日本向けのsnsサービス開発

googleが日本向けのsnsサービス技術開発でmixiと競争することになりそうだ。

Kordestani also said that Google is seeking to develop new technologies for social network services (SNS.) SNS such as Friendster and Japan's "mixi" feature blogs and other services that let users communicate and share information online.
"Activities on SNS are bigger than any other activities on the Internet," the executive said. "We're looking to work more in this area."
Services such as blogs and SNS are growing rapidly in Japan among young people. Mixi, one of the first SNS in the country, has signed up 5 million users since its launch in 2002.
