When we launched our Sphinn social news site for search and internet marketers last year, we quickly were hit by a huge number of Japanese-language submissions. Unfortunately, we had to go to an English-only rule, as we had no easy way to moderate those submissions, such as checking for spam. Now, problem solved — Sphinn Japan has launched.

Congrats and big credit to Kenichi Suzuki and his developer Sera Hiroyuki, who’ve worked hard over the past few months to bring the site to life!
