VERDICT

Should I use GaijinPot Blog?

GaijinPot - blog.gaijinpot.com

Depends. Evidence is thin: this is GaijinPot's free editorial blog about life and work in Japan, not a product you buy. Read it if you are moving to Japan; skip it if you were evaluating blog or marketing software.

Confidence

Low. Based on 5 public sources; nearly all evidence is generic blogging content, not GaijinPot-specific.
