On Xiaonei, not only individuals have accounts there, but some organizations, such as the Green and Peace Organization, have accounts and their facebook page. Also, some newspapers and magazines opened pages on Xiaonei one after another to express news on their pages. Besides, some famous and successful people in China including educationalist and entrepreneur have facebook page on Xiaonei too. Even Confucius has an account, and all the information in his portfolio is true information about Confucius. On his page there are many articles about Confucius thoughts, and some times he “writes” something in his status to encourage students to study harder in a humorous way. What merits our attention is that many Chinese traditional festivals have accounts in Xiaonei to introduce Chinese traditional culture for the young generations. And I see some of my friends add friends with these festivals. It is prevalent in resent years in China that more and more Chinese young generations are willing to celebrate western festivals like Christmas day, valentine’s day, Halloween and so on, but they know less or even little about many Chinese traditional days. However, Xiaonei provides a platform to spread Chinese culture to young generations in a very popular and funny way that youngsters are fond of.
Xiaonei network is growing and enriching fast recently that I often find something new there which impressed me a lot. I see it has great potential benefit for education.

I don't know if you have any facebook experience, but it seems like the users on the Xiaonei network are more responsible than the users on facebook. I wonder first, if this is true, and secondly if it is, if it's because of cultural influences, or other reasons.
ReplyDeletedido. I would agree and if this is true of Xiaonei users, my guess would be because of the culture compared to ours.
ReplyDeleteDue to the fact that Xiaonei is exposing its users to traditional "Western" holidays are there traditionalists that are opposed to this expansion.
ReplyDeleteFacebook has become very popular for older generations in the United States (My mother has it now for goodness sakes! :) Is the same trend showing up with Xianoei users?
