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!

Hi Chaps,
I’m afraid my cocomment is not recording right again, it’s rather frustrating. I leave dozens of comments a day and they’re just not recording, mainly they’re on 20six.co.uk, but it is compatible with co-comment, altho as previously discussed it doesn’t have a crawler. It’s frustrating as we’ve encouraged our users to sign up to your service, yet it seems that now it keeps failing to work.
I’m also getting weird error messages when leaving comments on blogger sometimes.
I’d be really grateful if you could look into this,
Pete @ 20six.

@amillionpieces : we will investigate what is going on with the client. Did you changed your template recently ?
Also, 20six.co.uk is on the top of our list for the crawler. But, if you integrate cocomment on your platform, support would no longer be an issue as all comments will be submited to cocomment).

[…] Über die japanische Version wurde im November informiert, aber die Bedeutung des Ganzen war mir damals nicht klar. Jetzt sind wir natürlich alle gespannt, ob Stephanie nach Japan auswandert :-). […]
