While searching for cool blogs on Japan I came across http://www.japansoc.com/

It seems really cool. Kind of like Digg and it's specifically for people like us. If you blog about Japan, check it out.

Cheers,

I joined this as well. See how it goes. Username is wrightak.

Yeah, it's like Digg... And has about the same signal-to-noise ratio but with a lot fewer posts. So there's a good article every day or 2.
