【お構いなく宣伝】最近GREEにハマってます　Lived in Japan? Use GREE to find people you met there!

March 23rd, 2005 by Adamu		 Adamu

最近はGREEを友達に紹介してもらってハマってる。GREEとは、自分の母校や友達や趣味を登録することで、その友達の友達や同じ趣味の人のプロフィールを見て連絡することもでき、人脈をどんどん広げていくためのサイトである。例えば、「ワシントンに住んだことがある」と検索したらなんと「この人知ってる！」って人の画像がいっぱい出てきた。日本で出会った懐かしい仲間たちを見つけるのが楽しい（まだ一人しか見つかってないが）。やってみたい方は招待が必要なので、ぜひ俺に頼んでください。

A friend recently turned me on to GREE, a kind of Japanese Friendster. Like Friendster, you can use the site to register friends, hobbies, alma maters (almas mater?) or whatever. Another great feature is that it lets you run your blog’s RSS feed through the site, which I have done. You need an invitation to join, so anyone who’s lived in Japan, reads Japanese reasonably well, and wants an invite can feel free to ask me for one. Enjoy!

      No luck for me yet, and I spent close to four years in Japan. Alas…

      Gree’s pretty cool and I’m on gree if you’d like to link up. But Mixi.jp is MUCH more popular. Let me know if you want an invite into Mixi.

      OK, I was going to send invitations, but then I thought “Hey, isn’t the whole point of this site to get an invitation from your FRIENDS?!”

      If you don’t have any friends, then what other purpose could you have to use GREE than to stalk unsuspecting Japanese women? I say none, so NO INVITATIONS FOR ANYONE I DON’T KNOW!

      I already said NO INVITATIONS! Stop trying to buck the system.

      I mean I think your name is cool and all, Putrid Namacha (I was never a fan of the really strong green tea), but still I’m gonna have to say NO!

      [...] We thought GREE was cool as hell a year and a half ago, and now we just look at it and laugh at its lameness. [...]
