日前，Facebook在日本的直接竞争对手、社交网站巨头Mixi宣布与德国社交网站Vznet Netzwerke结成战略伙伴关系。

Mixi表示两家公司都会标准化运营自己的社交应用平台，支持第三方社交应用供应商在两个平台上提供自己的服务。

Mixi-Vz

据游戏邦了解，Mixi去年九月还与中国人人网、韩国Cyworld平台结成了类似的战略同盟。Mixi公司发表声明称，Vznet是“德国最大的社交网站”，而Vznet的博客也承认Mixi是“日本最大的社交服务平台”。但游戏邦认为，这两个“最大”的组合，究竟能否在不同的战场分别打败德国的Facebook，以及日本的Gree和Mobage-Town，这一点仍然有待观望。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

Mixi Allies With German Social Network VZ

On January 20th, Mixi, one of Japan’s largest social network, a direct competitor of Facebook, announced [J] their new alliance partner, German based Vznet Netzwerke.

Mixi says that both companies will standardize their social application platforms, to enable their third-party social application providers to run their applications on both networkings.

Mixi announced the same type of alliances with China’s Renren and Korea’s CyWorld last September.

Mixi side release tells [J] that Vznet is “the largest social network service in Germany” in Japanese, and Vznet official blog says [De] that Mixi is “the largest social network service in Japan”. But accuracy of both “the largest” could be challenged by how you count the size of the network, against Facebook in Germany and Gree/Mobage-Town in Japan.（source:asiajin）
