weibo

People do not use Weibo and Facebook, they use Weibo or Facebook depending were they live.

Many Chinese IT stars on Weibo forwarded his first Weibo msg and sent their welcome.

Also many programmers are talking about Go and Erlang in weibo -- a chinese website that is similar to twitter.

Instead of complaining, normal people use local alternatives like weibo that are just as good and comply with local laws.

Can I say Facebook is just a copycat of Wechat, Weibo and other Internet services on this feature?

Just in a few hours, his Weibo fans has increased to 259816...

Maybe Chinese citizens can also chime in and ask their government (via Weibo or whatever medium is possible) why it's doing this to GitHub?

Facebook has a monopoly in most western countries, Weibo in China.

It is a very popular way to write one long tweet(weibo).

The reason why Weibo is dominating in China is political.

His first Weibo MSG said that: > Hello China!

This has undoubtedly aided companies like Weibo and Baidu.

"In its heyday, Weibo employed 4000 censors in house" I thought Weibo was still big in China, yet this implies that the service is on the wane?

Weibo (the Chinese "clone" of Twitter) actually does a lot better job with conversations.

I don't think it will affect much, most of the sites are using qq/weibo/renren openids, and they have long been "real named" behind.

From my experience, even the Chinese protests are government-sanctioned ("order through controlled disorder") and the communication happening on platforms such as Sina Weibo is generally devoid of any cultural or philosophical taboos.

It might not be Facebook that overtakes Weibo, but something will do it once China opens its Internet.

Hard to say what kind of future Sina/Weibo and video streaming companies Youku Tudou could have...

Baidu, Tencent, Weibo, and Alibaba are all still clones of basic US internet infrastructure.
