I know, hey?! It kinda pissed me off how long it was in beta. And now that it isn't--aside from a few minor layout changes and the addition of "applications" (can't wait to see what gets ported from Facebook/MySpace to mixi!), I seriously don't see very many changes. Am I missing anything?
lol... hell yeah it was a loooong time in beta! i had a look on the login screen just a short while ago and, yep-- the ß is no longer to be found next to the mixi logo! about freakin' time, i was thinking.
still, i find the whole mixi thing rather cumbersome; probably because the last time i used a BBS style thing was when i was in high school--when i would log into a BBS via modem. lol. ancient history, hey!
Ah, the good ol' days of beta. When you didn't need a Japanese mobile to join and the layouts were more 2D and flat looking. And that's the way we liked it, haha.
(Do you really need a J-mobile to join now? I still can't believe it's that restrictive...)
I couldn't care less whether mixi was beta, alpha or omega. Realy, the only thing that matters for me is that it works and I can contact with friends. It's a website free of charges, so there is no reason to complain about
