世論 What Japan Thinks

Despite this survey from Point On Research into mobile phone email targeting heavy users of mobile phones, reported on by japan.internet.com, the figures for emailing are quite impressively large! You may also want to cross-reference the results with another survey last month also from Point On Research with a similar demographic that showed very little mobile voice usage.

Demographics

On the 30th of March 2010 800 heavy users of mobile phones completed a private mobile internet-based questionnaire. The sample was exactly 50:50 male and female, 25.0% in their teens, 25.0% in their twenties, 25.0% in their thirties, and 25.0% in their forties.

I send and receive probably around 10 emoji-ridden emails per day, three to five from me, about four to six incoming, I would estimate. I usually do reply as soon as I can, except on the train home as I’m too busy translating these surveys to distract myself with a reply! It would have been interesting to see a cross-reference between the number of emails and the pattern for replying to them.

About the only proper punctuation mark I use in my mobile emails is a question mark, and this recent survey from Point On Research, as reported on by japan.internet.com, into mobile phone email found that I’m in the majority in my smiley habits.

Demographics

On the first of September 2009 exactly 800 members of the Point On Research monitor group completed a mobile phone-based private questionnaire. 50.0% of the sample were male, 20.0% in their teens, 20.0% in their twenties, 20.0% in their thirties, 20.0% in their forties, and 20.0% in their fifties.

I don’t really use much decomail, not even the animated emoji, as my phone’s a bit old and the interface for accessing them is pretty awkward, so I stick with emoji most of the time.

Oh, and if you need some kaomoji for your phone or PC, please visit my huge collection of Japanese emoticons and smilies.
