The article pretty much sums up my experience living abroad as a Chinese.
A few years ago when renren.com was still the most popular social media for Chinese users, it was filled with people sharing funny pictures and videos, interesting news and discussing trending topics automatically suggested by the site.
Around that time on Facebook though, people are still posting their vacation photos, text status updates and nothing more. Nobody was sharing anything on the platform.
Now Facebook has became Renren No.2, while Renren lost to WeChat.
- clw8 10y agoRenren had already lost to QQ Space before Wechat existed. Which I find hilarious, the Myspace clone where you can annoy viewers with auto-playing music and atrocious Javascript beat out the Facebook clone.
- paradite 10y agoAs far as I know, QQ Space was way earlier than renren. It was renren that beat QQ Space. Many of my friends followed the migration path of QQ Space -> renren -> WeChat.
