Blog Pet in Japan

KDDI, the Japanese cellphone carrier and weblog service provider (LOVELOG) has made a partnership with IT startup Workat about the integration of their blog pet application "Kousagi (Blog Pet)".

BlogPet is a flash based application that can be put on your weblog side bar, that talks something by learning words from your weblog via RSS feeds. It can also post a weblog entry and send trackback pings with random words using MetaWeblog or AtomAPI. That's thought to be a nice avatar-ish application suitable for Japanese bloggers.
