LiveDoor

LiveDoor is fast becoming the most popular Japanese portal. It's extremely popular with the Japanese blogger community, and (unlike Yahoo.co.jp) has more of a non-commercial feel to it. Search results are pulled from LookSmart.co.jp, so if you're wanting exposure in the Japanese market, a L$ listing might be in order.

perhaps LookSmart isn't dead?

Not dead in the JP market, at least.

I used to use their service to connect to internet for free. Thought it was OK they keep changing your default page to their site everytime you used their service.

Gree.jp is the lastest fad in social networking in japan.

You spend a lot of time on JP language sites?

gariben · 09-12-2004, 05:14 AM

yeah.. quite a bit..

well, not as much as before. I'm targeting another segment now. Web Design/Logo/Banner Designs/Hosting/SE segment now. Eventually will target the japanese market too.

Currently I run parties in Japan.

Huh. Are there any large JP webmaster forums? I looked for one before, but didn't find any.
