Weekly Blog Parts: Girls Girls Girls

This week’s Blog Parts are all about the ladies. Don’t worry…..they’re work safe unless you’re a truck driver. In that case, quit messing around and watch the road!

Starting from the left, Cyberclone is a widget to display your favorite idol in your sidebar and interact with her in a limited way. Most importantly, the widget gives you a link to her blog as you can do with the ever-popular Hoshino Aki below.

From ECareer, a subsidiary of Softbank Human Capital, 100 Cheer Girl is a really nice interactive flash site that features 100 girls doing random, non-sexual things on video and then advertising the ECareer job service. You can add your favorite girls into a list, check out the top girls, or get the blog parts (below) that features the girls saying ganbare (you can do it!) in more ways than I ever imagined possible. Interestingly, it’s quite difficult to tell who the site is targeted at. Men who want to see pretty girls, or women who want to see cute girls? The answer, I’m afraid, is both, and this works in Japan.

Finally, on the far right, is a little dome of flowers for the most important girl of them all: Your mom. Click the link and be taken to buy gifts for Mother’s Day.
