CoComment Japan Launched!
We’d like to announce today the launch of coComment Japan - a fully localized version of the coComment Service for the Japanese market. We noticed early on that a number of users of the main (english language) site were from Japan, and that — coupled with a fact we read in the Economist about Japan being the largest blogging market in the world by daily blog posts — was a big incentive to get a localized Japan version going.
Over the past few months, we’ve been working with our Japanese partners, Netage Inc. (a Japanese internet incubator - part owner of the highly successful social networking service Mixi.jp) to localize the service. After lots of hard work, they launched coComment Japan at jp.cocomment.com today!
- coComment Japan will be part of Netage’s ecosystem of services, which includes;
- Trend Match (Adsense-like content matching ad network)
- Saaf bookmark (social bookmarking)
- Saaf headline (social news)
- TAGGY (Tag based search engine)
- coComment Japan supports Netage’s identfication service “SaafID”
(based on OpenID). All of the above services and coComment Japan will be
accessible through single sign on. - coComment Japan will support many platforms including most Japanese Blog
services, such as:- Yahoo! Japan Blog
- livedoor Blog
- goo Blog
- cocolog (Nifty)
- excite exblog
- Hatena dialy
- Rakuten blog
- Ameba blog (CyberAgent)
- Saaf
And it will also cover the various platforms already supported by coComment.com.
We’re confident Japan will be a big market for us, and we’d all like to send a big thanks to the Netage team for their great job!
