Like Chinese SNS？ NOT ME！

Nowadays , SNS (social networking service) websites are becoming more and more popular among the world , such as Facebook , Myspace , Netlog and so on. In accordance with the spirit of copycatting , plenty of SNS websites have been multitudinously emerging and swiftly spring up in China. Among them , the most typical ones are xiaonei and QQ xiaoyou .

After searching the wikipedia『http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiaonei』 , we know that xiaonei is a website founded on December 2005 and till November 2007, it had become the largest online community among universities.
Launched by Tencent， the largest IM〔instant messenging〕service platform developer in mainland China， QQ xiaoyou also targeted towards universities and high school students, which may become the largest potential competitor of xiaonei.

★Plagiarism
As soon as xiaonei has just appeared, it was criticized for its plagiarism of Facebook's UI〔user interface〕and it was listed as one of the top ten plagiarisms in 2007. Coincidentally, plagiarist as Tencent is, the UI of QQ xiaoyou is resemble to xiaonei , which means both xiaonei and QQ xiaoyou have simply plagiarized the UI of Facebook. What more funny is the CEO of xiaonei denied his plagiarism and later he said Facebook had plagiarized xiaonei too. At this news, I have noting to say.

★True user
Both the two sites require the registrant should be “true user”, which means the registrant should use their true information such as true name, true school, true cellphone number and even true photo. If I don't follow it , I cannot have permissions to do a lot of things even I can't add a friend. Then comes the problem : many times I upload an infrared photo of mine which I dare to vow that everyone can identify the facial features clearly , few times they accept it as my true photo while most times they refuse to admit it. Once I uploaded an ordinary photo , though it's not me in the photo , they admit that it's my true photo. What's the purpose and use of that kind of so-called “true user”?

Unlike the foreign SNS websites , the Chinese ones are neither comprehensible nor have new features. How can I dare to like them ?
