Evidence: Sina is
a dominant online media company in China, it
like Yahoo for American. Sina owns a Twitter and Facebook-like micro blogging social
network - Sina Weibo, which has over 500 million users and 86.6% of overall
micro-blogger browsing time in China.
The main reason that Sina
Weibo is so successful, it allows users to share their comments about Sina news
directly to Sina Weibo by simply checking the tick box. Similar to the design
illustrated in the first image.
Sina is like Chinese version of
Yahoo, there are enormous readers left their comments on Sina news, bloggers,
videos. Thus, most of these comments are shared as posts on Sina Weibo, which
are interest and interactive contents that can be consumed in the social
network. Whereas, the other Chinese companies
do not have such powerful media to support them, their social networks have little
activities.
Online Media
determine the fate of future Social Networks. Yahoo bought Tumblr may has similar plan; Yahoo news and comments shared on Tumblr that will increase activities for their social network, so attract more people join Tumblr. Thus, this social network generates more preference-orientate information to reinforce Yahoo search engine. Yahoo could return to centre business of Internet.
