Hello Flipnoters around the world. This is Aaron at Hatena's offices in Kyoto, Japan.
This past week less than 450 Flipnotes were posted about the weekly topic "Zoo", which was relatively lower than average. I hope that this wasn't because some of you got lost in the zoo while researching about the weekly topic!
Seriously, we realize that many of you are busy with school, work or life and don't have much time for Flipnotes these days. We would like to express our thanks to all of you who did post "Zoo" Flipnotes this week, and hope that you liked the topic as much as we did.
The weekly topic gives you a chance to share your skills with others about a common theme and take part in the Flipnote Hatena community. If you haven't yet posted a weekly topic Flipnote please give it a try! This week's topic is something that will certainly make you smile!
Thanks from all of us at Hatena in Kyoto.

Weekly Topic: Laughing
It has been said that laughing helps us to feel better and keep us healthy. Sometimes in our busy lives, we forget about the importance of laughter. For this reason, we've chosen to introduce laughing for our weekly topic.
This week we would like you to create Flipnotes filled with chuckles, chortles, grins, giggles, guffaws, hee-hees and yuk-yuks! Animate people laughing or record sounds of people laughing and create animations to accompany them.
Please submit your weekly topic Flipnotes by midnight on October 13, 2011 (Thursday) US Pacific Time, and we will feature some of our favorites on October 14, 2011 (Friday).
