Chinese Social Networks and Chinese Market
, Monday, May 4, 2009George Godula talks in his guest post on TechCrunch about social platforms in China. Most social platforms in China were first only copies of Facebook or MySpace. But now QZone is probably the biggest social network in the world.
Godula highlight that it's not possible to just copy social platforms to China. There are changes needed that it works. That's one of the reasons, Facebook is not under the 5 biggest social networks in China.
So it's shown once again, localizing web platforms is not only translating. It's necessary to know the target culture really well and adapt the platform to the requirements of this culture.
