Kaixin001: A souped-up Facebook clone

Posted by RickM
Here's an interesting new Chinese site called Kaixin Wang (kaixin001.com). Yes, it's another Facebook clone, but this one may have actually done a few things better than the original. They've included a few interesting features:

  • Photo uploading (well, yes, Facebook has that)

  • Blogging platform

  • Micro-blogging platform

  • Music sharing

  • 1GB online hard drive

Here's a screenshot of the UI. Yes, it looks pretty much like Facebook, but red. I've also included a short video below so you can get a better idea of how the site feels. It is still in beta right now, so if anyone needs an invite, drop me a line.



Update: Northern Light Venture capital are rumored to have invested in Kaixinwang. Read more here. Kaiser Kuo also has a great write-up on them over on Ogilvy.
