The number of mixi users surpassed 11 million

According to a news article entitled “mixi announced financial results and user numbers: Now mixi boasts of more than 10 million users and considering the introduction of avatar services and games” [jp] (*Mixi is one of the most popular Social Networking Services in Japan):

It has been reported the number of mixi users surpassed 10 million on May 20, 10.67 million by the end of June, and 11.1 million by the end of July.

According to the news, mixi users surpassed 11 million by the end of July 2007. The article also said that their “monthly PV is 6.48 billion via PC and 5.27 billion via mobile”, so the ratio of mobile users is also growing.

One thing I'm impressed is that about 10 to 20 thousand movies are posted daily on “mixi douga”…

The most notable thing in the news should be that they are considering the introduction of avatar services and games.

Another news around mixi is the addition of “mixi tool bar”.

It lets mixi users access their user page, entry posting page, and Ashiato page (that shows who visited their site) by 1-click, and users will be notified by red blinking lights when they receive a new messages or comment to their previous posts.
