I agree that Social Networking Service acceptance, or lack thereof, is not a simple matter of Japanese being "shy". Just go to Shibuya, Harajuku, or Kabukicho to prove otherwise! I think SNS acceptance is driven by the marketing of the SNS, by whether it "feels right" and "fits right" for Japanese people, and by whether other people are using it. I think that's what Thierry is saying anyway, but my perspective is that SNS's like Mixi are Japanese to begin with and not a localized version of an application like Facebook or MySpace.
iKnow is an interesting site for learning language. They call themselves a "social learning platform" which I think is a unique concept, and right now the learning content is English and Japanese courses. The site seems modern, with typical "social networking" features. If you are used to linked.in, delicious, facebook, mixi, you'll feel at home.
