Open source social networking app thrives in China

  2008-07-02 16:30:02
The popular social networking site Facebook just announced a Chinese version, but similar Chinese-based Web sites such as Xiaonei and Hainei have been struggling there. However, since April, UCenter Home, an open source social network service based on PHP and MySQL, is pushing open social networking in China. Like other successful follow-the-leader Web sites in China (take Baidu, for example, which is a counterpart of Google), UCenter Home lacks innovative ideas but is good at localization. Its social network framework copies Facebook's, but it brings a style to the Chinese market that is more welcomed by local people than other foreign and domestic competitors.
