[...] 近几个月，当Facebook传闻要进入中国的时候，不得不佩服中国抄袭者们的聪明智慧，他们对于Facebook的充分利用更是弓虽到极致，愚弄媒体和大众与股掌之间：第一次，先后在国内媒体以及国外报道中传出“Facebook欲8500w收购占座”，没见占座有任何反应，但很快占座宣布自己拿到了720w投资，facebook收购是假；第二次，传闻李嘉诚投资Facebook，Tom股价迅速上涨55%，很快Tom自己出来说“我们并没有投资，不知道是谁那么无聊传假消息，让我们无端多了那么多钱，”… 第三次，分贝网某副总裁亲自站出来说“Facebook的CEO大驾光临，据悉Facebook要1.17亿收购分贝网”（注意：这位仁兄是故意换成了人民币来说的），然后四处转贴。今天又爆出新闻校内也开价了,… 第四次，… [...]

[...] Facebook To Acquire Chinese Social Network? – The hot rumor this week is that Facebook is planning on acquiring its way into the expanding Chinese social networking market by buying Zhanzuo.com. The Web startup, which runs on massive funding provided by Silicon Valley investors and most recently, Microsoft, is reported to have tabled an $85 million offer for the Chinese social network, according to British paper The Guardian. However, any deal has been refuted. “No offer has been made and no acquisition in China is being considered by Facebook,” its director of Communications told TechCrunch. [...]

In order to understand the Chinese Internet users, you’ve gotta spend time in China and get a sense of it. I am not a typical native Chinese Internet users. My friends are… they do things very differently on the Internet. This is why I am back in China, trying to figure out. =)

Techcrunch really needs to get proper Chinese sources before it shoots off its China stories with random conclusions.
It was already reported here in China a couple of months ago that Zhanzuo was one of the sites that Alexa reset the traffic counters to zero for gaming their traffic – hence the likely traffic drop in Jul and Aug. This is a huge problem in China with regards to Alexa rankings as numerous “high profile” sites resort to this though Alexa occasionally cuts them down to size.

So how much money does it make?

Wait, hang on.

*bangs self over head with saucepan*

Sorry, don’t know what came over me. Of course it’s a good deal. Facebook is valued at $278 per user (15bn / 43m) so at $12 per user this is pretty cheap. Even if the size of userbase is totally irrelevant unless you can monetise them profitably in order to secure a rate of return on your investment that exceeds… argh!

yahoo, ebay, msn, google, myspace are all not operating well in China, partly by political issue, mostly by misunderstanding of Chinese user status.

When I back to my hometown, a middle city with more than 5m people, almost all neighbours and relatives ask me for help just to teach them to use email, or reinstall virus broken PC. Not a joke

In China, most college students spend most of their time on internet games which is involving to a big serious social issue.

And in China tradition, social relative is not a good thing, cause most people incline to use the social relative to ask for help (to do bad thing, eg. bribery) , and people are shy to express themselves by such social graph… I feel it is hard to describe this point.

Although things are changing (towards western country), especially in big city, I am afraid it is still not a proper time for a site, like facebook to become popular.

Another note: Zhanzuo’s big dropped in Alexa over July and August is because Alexa reset traffic counters to zero for several Chinese websites for fraudulent traffic, including college student community site Zhanzuo.com.
