Our friends at Wireless Watch Japan inform us that the social network site EZ Gree is adding location based services and has passed one million members. But then I thought – what on earth is EZ Gree?
GoMo News Explains
In November 2006 KDDI (mobile operator in Japan) announced a partnership with GREE (content provider) to launch a social networking site called EZ GREE. The service offers an all-in-one social network allowing users to swap pictures, communicate with the PC and read blogs or diaries from all the members in one mobile space.
The platform also has a MyPage** service and an EZ News Flash offer allowing users to get regular updates from friends diaries instantly. From the very start GPS was on the agenda and now its being implemented to offer marketing, friend finding and other location based services.
** My Page is space of up to 100MB for personal data use and storage.
What we think?
EZ. In less than one year it has one million members? Wow – that is great and yes (BRACE YOURSELVES) we are impressed.
