Which blog do you recommend? I would like to write Japanese daily life,good restaurant,cafe in Tokyo I would like to intorduce Japan to foreigners. So I would like make many people who live in another coutries to read my blog and make friends with them.
I just have registered "blogger" and make my blog. But blog format was very shimple. only for writing diary? There is a share tab. When I click "share" there is "face book" What can I do?
I would like to show pictures of nice food or restaurant of Japan. And I would like to write my expression of movies. I would like to write the impression of restaurant or cafe wit pictures. I would like to write the sightseeing place of Japan.
Therefore not only write daiary, when I write blog if I can make some group or categorize (restaurant,cafe,movie,hotel,sightseeing place etc...) It is easy for me to introduce Japane.
I agree with Nickelby facebook is SNS like mixi so it's more of socializing than anything... But facebook don't really let you blog so I use blogger.com Now that I started mixi though, I kind of abandoned my blog
I suggest using Blogger because it'll link you to Google, so anyone looking for a japanese blog will come up with yours hopefully!
Wordpress is more of a webcomic site than a blog site and isn't frequented for much else.
Facebook is a SNS which doesn't really have a dedicated diary to it, just notes, but it would be nice for you to friend me on it (http://www.facebook.com/jonathan.marinaro
Myspace is all but dead nowadays. It is too full of ads as well as creepy people so everybody who would want to see your blog would have to wade through the rest of it.
LiveJournal is another option, but it is nowadays known as a place where people just whine about their lives and ask for sympathy instead of blogging.
I personally love livejournal. It's a diary style site. Perfect platform for some real content (what your looking to use it for), not the "notes" system used by facebook and myspace. I recommend LiveJournal. Find the right communities and it would be a great platform to really spread what you write to interested people..
I've noticed wordpress being used more and more, you could integrate wordpress and livejournal as well if I remember correctly. Could get you more traffic.
The "Share" tab your talking about lets you connect that blog to a facebook account. I don't have facebook so I can't say exactly how facebook does it, but generally it would work similar to this:
For example: you have a facebook, and your facebook friends see that you updated your blogger account through some kind of notification or post in facebook; then through a link that's provided they can go to your post at blogger.

Sure, you'll come across people whining about their life, but shit, you'll find just as much whining in blogs, even if the topic is different. Is one really worse than the other?
Yup Blogger for me at least is really good for blogs. Simple and very straight forward. You can see my blog at http://nthane.blogspot.com if you are interested (it is updated at least once a month )
