Twitter a Hit in Japan

Twitter a hit in Japan? With just over sixteen percent of the country on Twitter (compared to under 10% in the U.S.) I’d say it was definitely a hit.

The proportion of Japanese Internet users who tweet is 16.3 percent and now surpasses the ratio among Americans at 9.8 percent. Twitter and Japan's top social networking site, mixi, have been running neck-and-neck with monthly visitors between 9 million and 10 million but in April Twitter squeaked past mixi, according to ratings agency Nielsen Online.
