I’m very interested to see where this goes. Apps could bridge the gap between Mixi and Facebook with non-Japanese. Obviously there’s a language barrier, but I think a bigger hurdle is the fact that Mixi is functionally where MySpace was 5+ years ago: static user pages with a little multimedia functionality. If Apps turn the content on Mixi into the sort of news-feed AJAXy goodness we’ve got in Facebook, Mixi might have a chance to expand its market…

…if it wants to, which it very well might not.

Thanks for the great report. Interesting to see all the things they have planned.

But perhaps more interesting is to compare the approach of Japan’s major SNS vs. SNS from outside Japan. From outside Japan the approach is very iterative – small baby steps experimenting with all the latest generation tools and technologies on a month by month basis. From Mix – wait and watch, plan, pre-announce, plan, announce and then release – over approximately a 6 month period.

Any thoughts on this and whether you think Mixi Appli will be successful? (which I guess is defined by an increase in users, increased usage by existing users, and resulting revenues).
