Notice from Mixi (or, “How do we know we know each other?”)

mixinotice

 

 

 

Mixi says that my invitation function is currently disabled, notifying that they ban the act of inviting, in public, someone I don’t “know” such as in the bulletin board. In my previous post (a blog, that is), I showed how to set up a mixi account in a tutorial style but I didn’t say that I will send an invitation, even though many have asked me to do so.

I think It is at best ambiguous as to if I am the one who invited the person that I don’t know; and without defining the act of “knowing” means in this context (menshiki no nai or 面識のない in Japanese again still ambiguous even in its original language.) All I can say is many if not most online friends (i dare call so) are those I haven’t met in person. Especially in an ‘open is the new proprietary’ world, I think mixi should be more clear on this.

Update: I think the real question that MIXI should ask is how do we know we know each other? I bet a substantial portion of maimiku (buddy or friend by invitation or by authorization) don’t, in fact, know each other; yet, the meaning of “know” might vary among the users of that particular term.

Update2: I learned mixi joined openID project with a bunch of other prestigious internet players in Japan.  But not sure how they will solve the problem like this.

    First off I want to say awesome blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask
    if you don’t mind. I was curious to find
    out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing.

    I have had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting
    my ideas out there. I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost just
    trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or
    tips? Kudos!

    Once you have upgraded your coop to the maximum
    slots, it will be renamed to a Super Coop. Build a chicken coop that is tall and has multiple long and high perches.
    Coops with fitted windows in their layout are excellent for combating this ventilation concern.

    The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.
