Does anyone know the number of users for myspace in Japan?

Nick,

You can alternatively just click the "international" link and choose MySpace US - seems to reset the cookie.

If you go to jp.myspace.com and later return to myspace.com to log into your myspace, it pust a cookie on you and everything is in Japanese as if if you are on jp.myspace.com. You need to clear your cookies to fix it.

yes, i agree that localisation means more than just language. i dont know about japan but if it was in china, i doubt myspace would do any better than Chinese Cyworld.

It's amazing that with all the money News Corp. and Softbank have they don't realize that localization is about a lot more than language. Putting up cookie cutter copies of MySpace might work in places like Australia but it won't work in many others like Japan. They'll need to do a lot more than this if they want to put a tent in the momentum of truly homegrown leaders like Mixi.
