From what I hear from my Chinese friends here (U.S.), although they use services such as FB, they still prefer the Chinese equivalents: RenRen, Weibo, QQ, etc. Apparently it has more functionality. Since I don't know the language, I obviously can't use it to compare, but it seems the "knock-off" sites resonate with the Chinese population much more.

gq, have you ever used any of the chinese social networking services? Do you find them significantly different than FB? ou812dot, I would agree that as the younger generation matures in to power there will be a sea change in Chinese politics. It seem inevitable, right?

bgritzut, it would make sense for someone that can speak both languages and is familiar with both cultures to integrate the two social networking societies together somehow. East meets west online? -Could make a ton of $ if it was pulled off.
