mixi invite? - kmoeini - 2009-05-25
Hi guys,
I feel like a mooch for asking this, because I do a lot of lurking but am not overly active on this site...but what the hell. I tried logging onto Mixi and it says I need an invite...I assume other members can do this...would anyone please invite me? oh, my email is kmoeini at hotmail dot com. Many thanks in advance.

You do! However, recently, it has changed so you have to have a mobile phone on e.g. Docomo to make an account. I joined before this, so I didn't need one, but any new people do (at least, I'm pretty sure).
If you DO want to get an account, drop me a message - I can invite you!

Only problem is that you require a valid japanese phone mail address to be able to register in Mixi. If you don't have that, then you can't register even if you get an invite.

Thanks guys! Douglas, I'll send you a pm.

For those of you that have actually used Mixi. Can you explain what it is about and how is different from other social networks like Facebook, Hi5, Orkut, FriendFeed, etc. I read somewhere that Japanese culture and how they "do their stuff" has a lot to do on how Mixi is structured.
What do you think?

I have a mixi account but never really used it. I got an invite from a Japanese friend who admitted she never uses it either. She claimed it was kind of boring, preferring Myspace for social connecting.
