Re: FLASH: HOW BIG IS FLASH IN JAPAN?

[Virgil Vergara]

My opinion about Japan is that it hasn't warmed up to the Internet like it

has over here in the US. Maybe in the next couple of years. So I have to

think that not many people use flash or looked at sites using flash compared

to the US. The access rates are way too expensive to indulge in a site using

flash. 


As for real world stats, Mcdonald's Japan made their site using Flash. My

wife who is Japanese was impressed and spent several minutes with the Flash

animation on the Mcdonald website and told several of her freinds. She

called her sister in Japan and her sister said that she has already seen the

site and that just about everyone is visiting that site because of the flash

animation. 


My advice is that don't take your consultant too seriously. I can give you a

prospectus on the Internet scene in Japan as well as she could. Its just too

hard  to tell whether Flash has taken hold in Japan or not. Of course people

love flash and they really think its cute.  But right now the Internet is

something that only the rich can afford so  it hasn't really taken hold yet.

It will eventually though and when it does I believe it will be more popular

than it is in the US.
