Twitter has seen stellar growth in the past months, not only overseas but also in Japan.

The micro-blogging service has been an important part of Akoni’s strategy to launch Poken in Japan and it continues to be a cornerstone of our further growth here.

Our official @PokenJapan account has already over 5,500 followers and continues to grow day after day.

Lots of cool things have happened in the past weeks and here are a few we would like to share with you:

[1] On October 9 the book 「ツイッター 140文字が世界を変える」 (Twitter - 140 characters changing the world) was published by Mycom Books.

Authors are the famous bloggers Mr. Kogure of Netaful (@kogure) and Mr. Ishitani of Mitaimon (@masakiishitani). Congratulations!
