snaps | qq group ::
Wednesday, February 4th, 2009:: this photo was taken at a small coffee / milk tea shop called 张三疯奶茶店 on Gulangyu island (just off coast of Xiamen city). The sign reads, “we invite everyone to join this shop’s QQ group (72977748) to interactively socialize (i.e. group chat online).” This shop also doesnt allow kissing and recommends you don’t leave until you share your feelings with your loved one…so delightfully 肉麻! QQ is, and likely always will be, the leading instant messaging software in China. The digital media / communications consultant in me has to ask the question of companies and brands operating in the China market –– if ma ‘n pa coffeeshops the size of my bedroom on a random island in China are engaging with customers digitally, why aren’t you? // AjS
instant messaging in China ::
Sunday, December 21st, 2008:: originally published in an Analysys International instant messaging marketing report (Q2, 2008), and also shared in CIC’s recent white paper, “The Chinese Internet Word of Mouth (IWOM) Landscape” (view / download the paper in English or Chinese), the chart below shows market share for instant messaging software in China.
Tencent’s QQ still dominates China’s instant messaging market. Active QQ user accounts reached 341 million in the second quarter of 2008, giving QQ 80.2% of market share, followed by Fetion with 4.2%, and Microsoft MSN with 4.1%.
