Mixi, Japan’s leading social network, already offers a decent mobile web site for smartphone users (Mixi Touch, which was launched in September). And today, the company finally announced an app for Android users (you can pretty much forget their much older iPhone app).

The new app makes it possible to use Mixi’s main features, including Mixi Voice (Mixi’s Twitter-like function), Mixi Photo, or Mixi Check (which works like “Share” on Facebook), and others on Android phones.

Here are two screenshots (click to enlarge):

The new Mixi app is available for download from the Android market today (or scan the QR code below):

Bijo Linux [J] is a new website offers Tokyo girls holding up a signboard showing one Linux command. The Japanese word “Bijo” means “beautiful lady”.

Every time you reload the page, a different girl with a different Linux command will be shown up. Each photo comes with the girl’s nickname, dob, blood type(how important!), occupation, hobby, etc.

The list of girls/commands are here.

You may also use a blog widget to show them on your blog.

Other apps like iPhone/iPad applications are planned.

The site is run by Linux Japan [J], a company established in 2009. Despite the name, the company does not seem to officially represent Linux but provides Linux training/consulting.
