What is this weibo exactly

[LoftPower]

It's quiet similiar to facebook but only used for Chinese. China has banned facebook for a while.

Why has China banned FB for a while? Is it back up and running?

 

[lilyswan]

Exactly Chinese Facebook. (in fact i only know facebook and twitter, I have never used tumblr) I live in China, many people, especially young people like to share everyday life on weibo (mostly sina weibo). We cann't get on instagram, twitter or facebook without VPN

 

[MonkeyKingBar]

I do not understand why China banned Facebook
They can not advertise products

 

[lilyswan]

We have lots of way to advertise, weibo is one way to do that.

Weibo is a Chinese microblogging website. It's a little bit like something between Facebook and Twitter. It' basically the most popular social media in China and it covers a market that equals the extent of Twitter in the US. It was launched in 2009 and has more than 500 million users. You need to have a Chinese phone number in order to be able to register to it.

I register there and did not use China phone number.

Find your country code during the registration.

If you use Google Translate, use "other" "other" and "other" for pretty much everything.

 

[hexengon]

do you need to translate the chinese into english? if so, do you just use google translate

 

[jeanniemay96]

Chinese twitter, very popular in china.
Any questions you can ask me, I am a chinese.

 

[Kabira Shrestha]

Well, I got to know about it right now.

 

[Yiger]

So we can use it from America? Is there even any point in trying it if we cant speak Chinese? Not sure how many english users would be on it.

 

[William Andrew]

can we get traffic from weibo?

 

[Veclare]

Its like Facebook but used by Chinese

 

[Mr.14]

it is more likely the Chinese version of Twitter, rather than Facebook. Many brands growing up on Taobao dot com do a lot of marketing on Weibo. Weibo is also one of the largest influencer marketing platforms in China.
