I didnt want to muddle the resources sticky so im posting here. Does anyone know of the japanese counterparts to western websites?
for example as far as i know a year ago myspace was only in the west. Japans answer is mixi.jp
I really want to switch from using digg, facebook, livefm etc to japanese equivalents and im sure japan has some really cool website formats that dont exist in the west.
Its just another way to read native japanese and rikaichan makes it so much easier than reading a paper or magazine and manually looking up.
Perhaps a sticky on the best japanese websites beyond the newspaper sites etc would be good. Ill start googling and see if i can find some intereting sites and post them here.
This one looks promising - its a blog ranking site and appears to be quite popular and is split into topics

heres one for podcast rankings (yomuris podcasts are featured here - a lot of "learn english" stuff though.
