Twitter took off on the other side of the ocean, and everyone immediately followed suit. Suddenly, like a spring breeze in the night, Twitter is popular in China. From gushing to whining, Twitter is popping up all over the country. Some time ago, my friend introduced a new micro blog Follow5 (www.follow5.com), which is known as the Chinese version of Twitter. Move on, eh? Is this still Twitter?

At first glance, Follow5 seems more like a Chinese version of Pownce. Back then, Pownce was known as the Twitter killer, and now the killer does not know where to go, Twitter is still laughing. Using the Twitter platform to share this thing is right in itself. But today's Chinese users seem more accustomed to using Twitter as a big chat room. People are more likely to find NB people on Twitter. And friends do share in Twitter, it seems that SNS should do things.

Introduce the friend relationship into Twitter and make it exist alongside the Follow relationship. This can't be real Twitter anymore. Not long ago, in the private beta version of Sina friends, I have also seen this thing, I do not know whether it is pure coincidence, or a trend. Twitter emphasizes the freedom and equality of information sharing, while Follow5 also wants to take into account the privacy and purposeful choice of sharing. This article is not easy to write honestly. At present, China's Twitter users are still a minority, and Twitter outside the wall is inevitably acclimated to the dam. I'm going to skip all the technical aspects of Twitter and just look at Happy School. Seems like that's what the Chinese need. Searching for parking Spaces in the middle of the night, stealing vegetables and returning, taking advantage of the bargain, full of joy. Twitter? What's so fun about Twitter?

But in any case, I still believe that China needs Twitter, or rather - needs sites like Twitter. What Follow5 says it does is make sharing freer and easier. I think that captures the spirit of Twitter! It has been done before, and the mistakes are still there. Now there are still many people doing, crab claws, half a flower, thunder monkey, etc., etc., and then emerged known as the Chinese version of Twitter Follow5,. I'd love to see someone do something as successful as Twitter. But it won't be easy to succeed. I believe that more people will still be looking at Twitter at the same time, be shot to death on the dam.

Follow5 says it wants to share information more freely. In fact, this is not the ideal of the public. The Chinese version of Twitter is really hard to be. Only hope it does not change the original intention, come on!! Follow5, the Chinese version of Twitter is that easy to follow?
