WeChat is an all in one messaging app developed by Tencent. It is the most popular social media platform in China with over 900 million daily users who spend an average of over 70 minutes a day on it. The majority of the users are career employed consumers who have expendable income and spend a great deal of time to leisure and shopping. Most of the users spend a lot of time reading news and watching funny videos but spend most of their time browsing and posting on Moments where you can interact with your followers. It is a mix of WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and Skype, and also contains millions of third party apps. In WeChat almost everything you need can be found such as games, online shopping, and financial services so you never have to leave the app to find what you are looking for. It is even an electronic wallet.

Sina Weibo often known as just Weibo is a microblogging site that has more than 411 million monthly active users. Weibo literally means “microblogging,” but what is microblogging? Microblogging sites let users post short bits of text, videos or images and are typically posted quite frequently, even more than once a day. Weibo has been compared to Twitter but it is much more than that. Twitter has since vamped up its interface and although it is fairly similar, Weibo’s interface has more extensive media and over 400 emoticons! It also has threaded comments which makes tracking user feedback much easier. This is important when analyzing the tastes and needs of your followers and users can also insert images and video with their comments. There is a “Board of Fame,” where all the hottest trends by category are listed on the same page; No need to spend time searching separate posts. The coolest of all is the idea of “Micro Topics,” where the application identifies and gathers all posts relatedto a specific topic. So your relevant posts about your music can be easily found.
