Chris Salzberg

At Hatena's AnoymousDiary, a blogger writes about how his girlfriend broke up with him after finding out what he wrote about her on Mixi [ja], Japan's most popular social networking service. Within 20 minutes, the blogger writes, his girlfriend ended a relationship that had lasted a year. “I wrote a lot about my complaints,” the blogger wrote, “but in the end I really adored her.”
