Have you ever heard about The Great Firewall of China? It’s quite scary, at first it was Youtube, BBC that were blocked and now, the list goes on, eg. Yahoo! Hong Kong, Blogger, Twitter, Facebook, Plurk and more.
The blocked Twitter, Facebook and other social networking site, then the Chinese themselves release clones of these site. One of which is Renren (formerlly Xiaonei) which is a Facebook-clone using the old Facebook theme.
The latest finding is Komoo, a Twitter-clone. It just look exactly the same as the Twitter interface that was two years back when it first launched.
Since I got nothing to do and I was so free, I went to sign up for an account at there, but for sure that I wouldn’t use it because Twitter is still the best for me.

Good to know that I am not living in China! It is useless for non-Chinese speaking folks.
