Notes de l'éditeur
On BBS Chinese can express their opinion and offer help. They appreciate the anonymity
primary purpose for Chinese to log on the BBS: finding a solution, discussing topics, browsing information, and sharing the life experience are the top 4 motivations. The users trust BBS mainly because they think the information there are usually first-hand, updated frequently and environment of the virtual communities are comfortable. http://www.mobinode.com/archives/276
Similar layouts do not mean these Chinese Facebooks function the same as the real Facebook. Being an online social network for Chinese people, it has to understand the Chinese social culture. Xiaonei released a feature called Market, where you can sell and buy second hand things. The second-hand market is an event almost every student union has to organize at least once every semester in Chinese universities Others have integrated products such as BBS (bulletin board system) It is very interesting to see that the features on each site are different and have been well localized, which actually reflects the change and evolvement of Chinese Facebooks. The „problem“ of western SNSs is a lack of Chinese culture. They focus too much on the individual, the Chinese are group oriented. http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/china_facebook_clones.php
But since SNSs are so popular in China, the Copy-cat issue not only is of concern to Western SNSs but also to other Chinese SNSs. For example, the SNS for students „xiaonei“ has a Chinese clone called „xiaonei001“. The operator of xiaonei001 runs another SNS for the target group of white collar workers. „Kaixon001“ is very popular and could acquire 7.5 million users since it started operations in March 2008. Oak Pacific Interactive, the operator of xiaonei has now decided to go the same way and to create a clone of that SNS called kaixin…. http://shanghaiist.com/2008/10/17/the_china_social_network_clone_war.php http://blogs.wsj.com/chinajournal/2008/10/16/not-so-social-conduct-in-chinas-networking-war/ http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/10/16/kaixin001-chinas-apple-of-social-networks/
