I think about Twitter...

I began Twitter for around two years. I enjoyed a thought, a daily casual conversation on an extension line of the blog, but feel it first as some situation changed now.


Twitter has the limit called 140 characters. And I feel that I am important how I express oneself in the letter restrictions. I read my profile, and people indicating the interest increased and came to think about the contents of the tweet seriously particularly recently. In addition, the people who felt that the information that I sent it to was useful came to do respect in form called the retweet.


I want to keep it in mind using every content in future to send more useful information to provide it in near form in real time.
In addition, I think and think that it is a good opportunity to have you know myself without remaining in simple information dispatch to talk even if available about me positively.

- Breaking news - Twitter cooperates with mixi

"mixi" and "Twitter Japan" held a press conference jointly in 2011/11/30 and gave a presentation on service and the business cooperation of both companies.

According to the announcement, I develop new service, business jointly and work on the development of the advertisement product. The partner content is as follows.



< Joint development of new service and the business >

At first, in "mixi Xmas 2011", cooperation in advertisement product "Promo Trend" of "Twitter" is carried out.
The advertisement that is displayed on the first of "the keyword of the topic" on "Twitter" called "Trend" with "Promo Trend."
A hashtag is displayed here by application of "mixi".

<With "mixi"  >
I give a service in February, 2004 and start. It is one of SNS presenting service from the earliest time in Japan.
I adopted a complete invitation system that use registration was not possible when mixi was not invited from the registered user who enrolled anymore. Identity of the each user becomes clear, and it is healthy, and this method is adopted in a purpose to maintain comfortable community with the security. In addition, the side considered to be the side that I invited becomes my mixi (friend registration) automatically and cannot take it off after registration for three months. It became the registration system that can participate without the letter of invitation from March 1, 2010, but uses the invitation system sequentially.

< Manager comment >

Although release was planned than before in 2011/12/02(Japanese time), I waited expectantly for official announcement because there was not it in the form called the decision.

Circumstances of the Japanese cell-phone line

In Japan, smartphones spread rapidly, and the 3G line which I used so far is going to reach the end.
The cause is "the flat rate" of the data communication fee.
I use large-capacity data with a smartphone easily and increase to quantity of data communication of 10-20 times per person in comparison with before smartphone spread.
Security not to be necessary to pay rates more than the amount of uniformity even if this performs large-capacity data communication by "flat rate" brings.
The present conditions, transmission rate become slow, and the situation that I cannot connect to a line seems to be taking place in some cases.


In contrast, each Japanese carrier becomes excited over it to let you relax a 3G line crowded with the use of the use of the LTE line and the public wireless LAN service.
But this trial just began and is the unpredictable situation.
In addition, I lower the line speed when I exceed quantity of a certain constant data communication, and there is it is said to let you relax traffic, moving.
The form to change the price plan from "flat rate" to "Meter-rate system" may be possible if such measures fail.
We will send information about movement of Japan at any time in future.

I touch a demonstration machine of "GALAXY NEXUS".

In Japan, pre-order of "GALAXY NEXUS" begins in 2011/11/23, and, according to the plan, it is told 2011/12/02 to be released.
In my going to the shop to hear a demonstration machine being displayed in a shop at once...

At first it is felt "GALAXY NEXUS" considerably in comparison with a conventional smartphone greatly when I touch it for the first time. Unfortunately, by the Japanese hand, the operation with one hand seems to be difficult.
Therefore I think that it is the best to operate a terminal by a grip, the right hand with the left hand.

It is a display, but because PenTile sequence is adopted, there seems to be little number of the subpixels with two-thirds by the RGB sequence ratio, but is the impression that the screen is clear at all and is easy to watch.

It is a feeling of operation, but I am very smooth, and this can have a good feeling, too.
In addition, a screen is replaced to draw an arc by the movement such as the screen scrolling and is very wonderful.

I experienced the browsing by the standard browser, but the reading of data is earlier than Android OS's 2.3 such as "GALAXY S II", and this can have a good feeling in comfortable movement as well as basic movement.

It is a smartphone of the Android 4.0(Ice Cream Sandwitch) deployment released for the first time in the world, and "GALAXY NEXUS" is a smartphone of the Nexus series sold formally for the first time in Japan.
Therefore the Japanese is interested in "GALAXY NEXUS" and pays attention.

Fortunately, I can really touch it, and I who like a gadget want to use it for movement inspection and development use this time.
I reserved "GALAXY NEXUS" at once.
About "GALAXY NEXUS", I will report it with blog at any time in future.
