Hello Linda, Thank you for this data. I'm sure it's something to consider when evaluating online marketing possibilities and strategies. You're right - we need to know how to work the web. Cheers! Ricardo

Linda, I'm sure glad we're friends! This bouncing ideas off each other sure opens some interesting lines of thought, doesn't it? Now I have all kinds of questions about cultural differences and similarities. I think I'm going to end up with a much bigger project than I ever envisioned. Cheri

Hi Linda, Another thing to consider is how people access the net. Many people in Japan access the net through cellphones, and a standard web page will be displaye quite differently unless an i-mode version is available. Also in Japan, Internet users spend far less time online as the provider charges are higher (especially on a cellphone) and the familiarity with and trust of online shopping is far lower (though it is a growing area here, online shopping, that is).

Very interesting Information Linda. Thanks for the valuable information. I look forward to being invited to your forums. I look forward to your teachings. Keep up the great work each 7 everyone of us appreciate everything you do for us. God Bless
