Need a Way for Chinese to Login w/o Facebook or Reddit
Apparently it is much harder to make an account from China.
We should start by adding a few of the sites in this article as login options. This will help increase the user base.
Douban is a message posting site like MySpace with 100m users, according to the article. link here
Tencent chat QQ is a large mobile phone chatting service with 784m active users. According to Wikipedia
Tencent QQ, popularly known as QQ, is an instant messaging software service developed by a Chinese company named Tencent Holdings Limited. QQ also offers a variety of services, including online social games, music, shopping, microblogging, movies, and group and voice chat. The logo and mascot is a small penguin wearing a red scarf.
Renren is China's Facebook. We need to let people login with Renren. It has 625m users according to this article
This seems like it might bring in Chinese users.
Excellent post! I hadn't considered this, but you are absolutely right! @freewill
I was reading some comments on a post about translating content into Chinese and they said login not content was the biggest thing holding back Chinese logins.
Surely once login is sorted, content will follow pretty quickly...
Yes I can only imagine the day when half the post are in Chinese. The value of the post are higher there too due to lower cost of living.
Chinese readers please add the best Chinese social networks to the comments!
wechat (微信) is actually the most used social media in China. You can do everything with wechat, post like in facebook, twitter, instagram, talk with people like skype (writing, speaking or even video online or video chat), read articles, view videos. You can even pay everything with wechat on your smartphone. Almost nobody still pays using debit or credit cards.
Can you login to other sites using we chat?
Are We chat and QQ the same or two parts of the same company
they are 2 different softwares. I think QQ is older. Now youngsters use wechat. older ones still use QQ.
Could someone help me create a Chinese title for this post?
