Does Mixi have any stranglehold in the US or Europe. No pointing comparing. I think its a bit silly comparing Facebook, My Space to a localised version of social networking in Japan.

People don't usually use photos of themselves on mixi (choosing photos of famous people, pets, or characters instead), and even with this anonymity there is a part of mixi called "ura" mixi which is an underground aspect of the community so that people can be even more anonymous. Facebook and MySpace have also failed to provide people with a reason to switch. Nothing to move people out of their mixi inertia. Lastly, if you want to do anything in Japan you have to have a mobile presence and it has to be good. That's why Google has worked to set itself up as the default search service on cell phones here (except for on Softbank owned by Yahoo Japan). People here want anonymity, and they want to be anonymous from the comfort of their cell phones. The anonymity issue mentioned in the last paragraph is definitely a factor.

How come Mobage is entirely missing from that list of stats? Does it take into account the mobile traffic of Gree, which has most but shifted its main focus to mobile? If you really took those and a whole bunch of other mobile-specific sites into account, I doubt Facebook or Myspace would even show up in the top 5.
