Hi Kampuro，

Mixi opened its registration system last year so now you should be able to register by yourself, no invitation required. You need to use Japanese feature cellphones(No iPhone/Android/Blackberry) to be identified by Mixi, and that also means you should be inside Japan.

No “Official” API but drikin (who made a popular MacOSX twitter client twitterpod) made his Mixi Echo version EchoPod

There may be other client developers follow, if Mixi Echo will last longer than 1 month.

This “Twitter” function must be a big change so they seems awkward to introduce it to all 14 million users directly. If most users of Mixi Echo are geeks who want to try, it can be just ceased after seeing troubles. My 2 yen.

Mixi is very conservertive about API, though they often talked about the “possibilities” to stockholders. My impression is, they try to hold developers attention with the possibility, but never opened them really until their dominance will be in jeopardy.
