NO! its so much better that they isolate from most of our western rubbish. It preserves their culture. I really hope their “old” inernet doesn’t die and that they don’t get sucked into the facebook/twitter scene it really isn’t that great anyways. PRESERVE YOUR CULTURE JAPAN

I was able to sign in with my .edu addresses during the good college days when I had a few Japanese exchange student buddies. However, why would anyone want to get into a Japanese social network if their friends and family are on their native social network sites? Sound like desperation to me, to make Japanese friends.

I have noticed that in this past year my Japanese host sisters joined facebook. I am glad that more Japanese are joining a social network we can all be on.

You know what else is like 10 years behind in Japan? THEIR HORRIBLE TV!!
I don’t even know if it’s dated or just completely different >.>
The production value of Japanese commercials seems far higher than that of their tv programs, it’s just so backwards >.<"
Someone should write a post about that!
