I found this interesting: "Japan's online social scene isn't so social" (AP). I'm no expert, but from what I've seen from my partner and her family, this is totally believable -- Japanese *really* value their privacy. I'm forever hearing scary Japanese news stories that can't be helping -- kids being bullied at school because of something their mother said on her blog, people being murdered by people they've just met or who live nearby.
