Interesting enough!I’m developing my thesis on this topic, but what I wanna know is whether the cultural factors influence the use of SNS and actual use of SNS reflects cultural variations. For example, British colledge students may use Facebook or MySpace as a platform to meet people offline and hangout for a organized party proposed on the SNS; while Chinese students seldom do the same thing…etc. Still in sourcing and literature review period, and I found most of the articles related to SNS study focusing on marketing and profit-seeking factors, which in fact are not my direction.

Great post, coincidentally I was just processing the recording of our discussion in Shanghai the other day!

I am wondering whether there will eventually be only 1 or maybe 2 major social networks in China like in the US. Maybe this will never happen since the diversity on numerous levels might be bigger compared to a developed US; wealth, education, location (culture), Internet experience, …

Will definitely keep track of the Chinese SN war!
