Due to Mixi now demanding Japanese mobile addresses, I can’t invite anyone. Sorry!
If you’re a Facebook or Myspace user, you may be interested in hearing about Mixi. Mixi is the Japanese equivalent of Facebook, basically.
There are a few key differences, however. The primary one is that you cannot just join Mixi, instead you must be invited by a current member. If this is to keep everyone linked together or just so nobody ever has no friends. The point is, if you want to get online and practice your Japanese, you’ll need an invitation. If you comment on this post with an email address I will invite you.The Japanese on the site is obviously a high level. To help, I advise using the Rikaichan Japanese Dictionary for Firefox. From there you should be OK simply highlighting words you don’t understand. Hey, it works for me. The other main difference is that unlike Facebook there is no wall on your profile – instead the site relies on your writing journals or uploading photographs which people can comment on. There are also some communities – if you’re looking for some penpals or whatever, the best way to do it is to find the MSN community and make a post. You’ll get a few people interested in swapping languages ect.
As a bonus, once you’ve signed up here is my profile so you can laugh at my terrible photograph and awful Japanese grammar.
Enjoy!
In Other News my hosting company decided it would be awesome to accidentally charge all their customers for 24 months of future usage by mistake, which lead to all their servers exploding into flames. If you haven’t been able to get on the site recently, it’s all their fault. My apologies. I may be moving hosts soon so bear with me.

hello
I was interest in mixi since some month but I didn’t register because I was just a beginner in Japanese.
Well today i talked on skype with a Japanese friend about mixi and she made me change mind,so i decided to join to mixi
even my Japanese had improved just a little. She sent me an invitation and i clicked on the link.She helped with the registration but there is/was a problem “”"mobile phone mail”"”.I tried to use a pc-email but it didn’t work.
So my friend helped me for invent one. So i could register but unfortunately mixi send a confirm email to the imaginary
cell phone mail and pc -mail. Well i confirmed the pc-mail but is not enough , both need confirm.
For make a long story short if you have not a Japanese cellphone with mail, no mixi. goodbye mixi
I made a big mistake i shall had register to mixi some month ago, before mixi changed the rules.
Now mixi ask cell phone mail and maybe only Japanese one.

Felix: Oh, OK. I’ll do a post on it tomorrow and close the offer on this update. Thanks.
Hi
Our problem is that we want some Japanese friends for practices Japanese, talk about Japan,culture and many other things. BUT MIXI, now is only for people who live in Japan.
Well today i have found a solution, we can use MYSPACE, http://www.myspace.com/ .
It’s simple: create a profile using mainly or only Japanese. Use BROWSE for find people http://browseusers.myspace.com/Browse/Browse.aspx?z=1
There you can find a lot Japanese man and woman over 18. You can browse for people selecting : gender,age, location & etc. I think I’ll join soon on myspace.
I hope I have helped you.
will you send me an invite, please?
