Twitter As A Japanese Yellow Pages

Jay Alabaster reports that DoCoMo has launched Twitter based yellow pages. He sayes that "Twitter has become popular in Japan, especially since the earthquake and tsunami that devastated a large swath of the country's northeastern coast two years ago, when it became a key tool for sharing information on stricken areas. But the service's increasingly popularity makes it harder for users to find relevant information" (para. 4).
