Social Networking sites (SNS) continue to grow strong in China despite the fact that there’s no solid business model. Following Xiaonei.com, which we have discussed earlier, TG found another fast growing SNS Kaixin001.com, literally means ”happy” 開心網 in Chinese.
The SNS is now on beta and it does not take any new registration. Instead it starts using viral marketing approach by encouraging existing members to send invitation to their friends. It was reported that the site has experienced exponent growth in the last three months.
What makes it so attractive to the users? TG learnt that the game applications in the site are very well designed. Many Chinese users got addicted to it.
Forbes Magazine reported that China has surpassed the States and become the largest internet users country in the world. Yet unlike Americans, who look for useful information, Chinese users tend to use the Internet for chatting and playing games.

Can internet start-up be green? Can online business be environmental friendly? The thought came after TG’ve seen a couple of tragedies in the last few months - Shichuan Earhquake, Japan Earthquake and waterflood in Guangdong Province.
Should we care our Mother Earth more, making it a beautiful place for our next generation? Al Gore, former vice president and cofounder, chairman of Generation Investment Managment, has urged us to be eco-friendly while confronting the threat of global warming.
TG agreed with the mission with Reusable Shopping Bags which recycles and produces a family of earth-friendly products to help reduce, reuse and save.
Our mission is to diligently search for innovative, practical products that help people consume less, preserve natural resources and save money too. Many of our products, such as reusable bottles and lead-free lunch bags, also help reduce exposure to harmful chemicals.

Ever since the world is growing to be flat as described by Thomas L. Friedman, TG is under the impression that China is catching up with Japan to become the world’s number one “copy cat”.
Xiaonei.com (校内网), which looks 90 percent similar to Facebook.com has become China’s first and foremost popular social networking site among university students in China. Currently, it enrols 5 million registered users and has 8.8 milllion active users. The site was founded in December by Quingha University graduates. It’s now owned by Oak Pacific Interactive, of which Japan’s Softbank bought 14 percent stake by the end of April, 2008.
Born to be a twin brother of Facebook, Xiaonei.com (校内网) is a fully-fledged site with functions focusing on blogging, photo album, online chat, community and video sharing etc.
