What is Mosuki?
Mosuki is the best way to hear about events from people you know.
On Mosuki, you can keep a personal calendar of events you are going to and your friends will do the same; Mosuki will tell you about all the events your friends think are interesting. No more hearing about that cool party, concert, club (or any event) that happened last night! Sharing by word-of-mouth means interesting events will spread through the network. Mosuki's strong privacy means only people you know can see your interest in an event. Easy and safe, Mosuki really is the best way to hear about events from people you know.

What do "public" and "private" mean?
Public information can be viewed by anyone.
Private information can only be seen by you. Private information can not be searched by other users.
What is a feed?
A feed is a list of items on a webpage or website. Often it's a list of the ten or twenty most recent items. The items can be anything; news stories, blog posts, blog comments, images; on Mosuki they are lists of events, messages, or discussion comments.
To use feeds, you need a "feed reader." Feed readers collect lots of feeds in one place and show them together. That way, you can get a quick overview of what's new on your favorite webpages or websites, without having to check each place -- the feed reader uses the feeds to check for you. This makes checking all your favorite websites into a task similar to checking your email -- you just look to see if there's anything new.
Feeds are more useful for people who spend a lot of time online, which is why they are still somewhat geeky.
What is a "quota?"
Quota is the number of times you can perform a certain action. For example, the amount of pictures you are allowed to post on Mosuki is your "photo" quota.
