Hello, this is Aaron at Hatena in Kyoto, Japan with the latest news about Flipnote Hatena.
This past week we added an "Activity" tab to Creator's Rooms on the Flipnote Hatena website. The "Activity" tab displays new Flipnotes and posts from Hatena Haiku. You can easily follow the activity of friends, and let fans know about your recent activity. For more information, check out your Creator's Room on the Flipnote Hatena website.
There are only several more weekly topics remaining before Flipnote Hatena closes on May 31, 2013. If you haven't yet tried making a Flipnote about the weekly topic, please give it a try! Please note that we will be not be posting the news on Friday May 3, 2013 because it is a national holiday in Japan
