CoComment Japan Launched!

November 21st, 2006

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!
