Soundtrack: Boy Named Sue
Question 1: What is Mixi?
Mixi is Japan's #1 Social Networking Site, boasting an 80% market share and over 10 million users.
Question 2: What makes it unique?
While microblogging sites like Twitter, and now the new Facebook UI enable 140 characters or less, Mixi emphasizes full blogs but in a social setting. Purportedly, the purpose of this is to purportedly connect people with common interests.
Question 3: How are the handling privacy policy stuff?
Like Facebook, they backed off from some recent heavy handed Privacy policy revisions, but they have banned their users from dating.
They have a persistent "invitation" only policy, which is typical of beta sites, but seems highly unnecessary for such a broadly used service.
