In this age of information, social media is becoming more and more important for our life. Different countries have different social media. I have learned a lot of social media tools that are popular with Canadian people. Since I am an international student from china, I would like to introduce you some social media that are very popular in China, but people who outside of China may don’t know.
Tencent QQ
First of all, I want to introduce Tencent QQ to you, which is the most famous and popular free instant messaging computer program in the mainland of China. According to Wikipedia, by July 11, 2011, there are 812.3 million people were using QQ. I have my QQ account for about ten years. In the past 10 years, I all mostly used QQ every day. It the most important tool that I use to contact to my friends and families. It allows me to search for other users and Chat with them through QQ on internet. After I come to Canada, I rely on QQ even more because it not only saves me a lots of phone cost to contact to my families and friends in China, it also allows me to talk with them face to face through camera.

Second of all, I would like to introduce you a Chinese “face book” which is called RenRen. It is a very popular social media recently. People can "tweet" and post photos on RenRen just like what people do on Face Book. The main difference between RenRen and face book is that the majority of users of RenRen are students who may have more connection with each other than users of Face Book. When you are registering an account in RenRen, it requires you to provide the name of your high school and university, and the time when you study there into you profile. Then according to this information RenRen will help you to find many alumni on RenRen. It is so amazing that after I applied a RenRen account, I have found a lot of high school classmates who I haven’t see them for many years. Having RenRen we get connected with each other again.
The last social medium I want to introduce to you is Weixin. It is a very new social medium that is designed for smart phone. People can send free voice massage, text message, video, picture to friend through the smart phone network. Based on the user’s location, Weixin can help you to find other people who are nearby. The most exciting thing Weixin provides to users is that when you are shaking your smart phone, Weixin can help you to find the people who are also shaking their phone at the same time. It will show you the location of that person and how far away is he or she from you, and you can get connected. When I was writing this post I checked one of my classmates, Phantastic's blog, she is talking about some interesting things about Twitter and Face book, please check Here to see what's her opion about Twitter and Face Book.
I like ur idea about social media tools in China. Actually, these i have used all of them.
