JCC idea - MIXI

[gordonh]

I've found that MIXI is an interesting tech/cultural phenomenon and that there's even a JapanesePod101.com community there. Using MIXI in conjunction with rikaichan has actually increased my vocabulary as the barriers to reading kanji are lowered, and the content is (arguably) more interesting than a textbook - and allows one to find penpals too. Perhaps it would be good to let people know about MIXI - or would that be not allowed as it is a commercial business with no affiliation to JapanesePod101.com?

It's a good idea, but you're a little late. There's already been a show featuring mixi. In fact, that's how most people here found out about it and got invites.

Really? How did I miss that? Cool - can you tell me which lesson that was? I'd like to listen to it.

Ah, nevermind. I found them. Thanks!
