Rakuten has a huge user base for its online shopping site. Many online shop owners use the blog to communicate with clients talking about not only new products and services, but also their private life to create a closer (almost friendship like) relationship with clients.
The survey results also shows that male users prefer trackback function, and female prefer comment function on the blogs.
One Response
I’m not surprised that the females use Rakuten since if has a huge user base for its online shopping site. What is surprising is that females are blogging and viewing blogs at a higher rate. I guess the fact that they prefer the comment function might be they want their voice heard.
