Why You Should Join Tom Cruise & Bill Gates on Weibo | Chengdu Living

I really like Weibo. I've been using it for just over a month and it's been a lot of fun. I've been making friends and learning Chinese at the same time. ^_^

There are so many people on Weibo, I feel like things are happening faster than Facebook or Twitter. Almost every day I get a comment or new follow...something to keep me engaged.

As far as features go, it's kind of a blend of Facebook and Twitter. I really like how status updates are short, though twice as long as Twitter when typing in English, and I can post photos, videos, audio, and a few other types as well.

I have an Android phone and found a good Weibo app with English menus that will also autopost to Twitter at the same time! It's called YiBo.

For anyone interested in making friends in China and learning Chinese, Weibo is a good start. Click the via link for a good article about Weibo.
