		<description>Great info, dumbed down to my level (lol)... it just goes to show you, when you're a blogger there's something new to be learned every day. Much like Japan, come to think of it!</description>

		<description>Can you feel the love?!

I love what I see going on. Ken won some major points for helping out in such a great way. 

I am a bit overwhelmed with "things to do" at the moment but I super excited about all of this. 

I am going to be talking about this (especially the JapanSoc It button) on DailyJ as soon as I get the chance!

JapanSocking and lovin' it</description>

		<description>Thanks Koichi, it would be great to see social bookmarking take off for Japan bloggers. Your blog, &lt;a href="http://www.tofugu.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;Tofugu&lt;/a&gt;, looks very interesting. I remember watching that awesome video of you on YouTube about how Japanese isn't something you can learn magically by watching anime. I better subscribe!</description>

		<description>Thanks Neil. From an SEO point of view, there's nothing wrong with having most of the front page linking back to the original article, and you'd have to experiment to see if you'd get more traffic by spreading those links over different keywords (which I'm assuming would be the case in this post). From a user's point of view, it's not very helpful when every result on the first page points to the same place.</description>
