Flipnote Studio (うごくメモ帳, Ugoku Memo-chou?, lit. Moving Notepad) is a free downloadable application for the Nintendo DSi's DSiWare digital distribution service. Developed by Nintendo EAD Tokyo, Flipnote Studio allows the user to create both word and picture-based notes with the stylus, add sound, and put them together to create frame-by-frame flipbook-style animations. Though referred to as Moving Notepad by Nintendo in prior English-language keynote addresses and conferences, the application was announced at E3 2009 officially as Flipnote Studio. It was released in Japan on December 24, 2008, in North America on August 12, 2009, and in Europe and Australia on August 14, 2009. It was also included as a preloaded program on the Nintendo DSi XL and Nintendo DSi with firmware 1.4.
Features [Flipnote Studio offers the user three main tools with which to create drawings—a pen, an eraser, and a paintbrush. With these tools, the user may create frames for short animated sketches, called flipnotes. Additional features such as layering, shrinking, and enlarging are also available, as well as the option to import black-and-white images via the DSi Camera Album. One flipnote animation may consist of hundreds of frames (maximum 999), and to go along with the animation itself, the user may choose to record a soundtrack with the DSi microphone. The speed ranges from 1-8 f/scd. . Hatena - Wikipedia

Shortly before the release of Flipnote Studio in Japan, Nintendo announced that they were partnering with Japanese web services provider Hatena to provide the means to share works created with the software. Speaking for Nintendo, Yoshiaki Koizumi stated they chose to work with Hatena because "it takes a special skill set to maintain the User Generated Contents (UCG) site, and we don't have that skill. We rely on Hatena on that part."
Flipnote Hatena is the name of both the portion of the Flipnote Studio application that connects to the Flipnote Hatena website as well as the website itself (the Japanese version of the program differentiates between the two, but not the English version). Directly accessing the Flipnote Hatena website, through this portion of the application users are able to trade flipnotes, assign ranks to flipnotes uploaded by others, and save any viewed flipnote to their own DSi. Users may also edit or even continue a flipnote created by another user.
As for the website itself, Flipnote Hatena offers the ability for users to rank and comment on the works of others, as well as to embed their animations into other webpages. Users may also flag submissions as inappropriate; flipnotes thus flagged will not be viewable via the DSi's Flipnote Hatena and may be removed from the website altogether.
Sharing Flipnotes - Wikipedia

Aside from the Flipnote Hatena website, flipnotes may be shared between two users via the DSi's Wireless Communication feature. When a flipnote has been shared in this manner, the users may choose to save their contact information as friends on the Nintendo DSi and on the Flipnote Hatena website. Flipnotes may also be shared via saving to an SD card (to be inserted into another DSi). When a person receives a flipnote from a creator the first time, they become friends with each other. You can also become friends on the site, Hatena, but sometimes they cause drama and false report your flipnotes and they gain a green star, while you gain nothing but anger.
