Download as PDFBetween January 11-25 2010, an open vote was held to determine the Most Recognized International Web 2.0 services in China initiated and operated by 14 of the most influential Chinese tech bloggers.
Within 2 weeks of public vote stage, 121.446 votes in total were counted. And today, we are happy to reveal these best internet service/sites of 2009 voted by Chinese grassroots web community. The results can not represent every Chinese netizen's opinion, but I believe, it's an honest result which is worth your attention.
The Chinese web, is a market that has never been easy for international Internet service/companies/sites; and is even getting tougher to enter and conquer. Unfortunately, several very popular services are no longer available in China. But still, here are the services/sites that have drawn Chinese users’ attention, ordered by the number of votes, the top 10 international service are: Twitter (20.68%), YouTube (17.75%), Gmail (17.16%), Google Reader (11.09%), Facebook (9.49%), Google Wave (8.58%), Wikipedia (8.08%), Flickr (3.08%), Amazon (2.16%), Dropbox (1.95%).
Surprise and Non-surprise?
Although Twitter and YouTube are not available anymore in China, but still they took the No.1 and runner-up. It reflects the top 2 hottest markets right now in China: microblogging and video-sharing. Gmail, one of the best Google products is widely used by Chinese users; Google Reader is also used as the major tool for reading RSS; Google Wave is a bit hit in global market, China is not an exception; Flickr still gets Chinese attention, as Chinese local photo-sharing market is still quiet; Amazon and Wikipedia are relatively ‘old’ and famous names.
Dropbox, is a convenient cross-platform file-sharing and sync startup service, surprisingly, takes the 10th. No similar service currently exists in China. .
No one knows what will happen to Google China in 2010, but what so ever, YouTube, Gmail, Google Reader and Google Wave, results shows Google has a big impact on Chinese web, although it’s beaten by Baidu in Chinese web search market. Finally, Facebook. If you are wondering about the current status of Facebook in China, it is also not available but Facebook is only voted the 5th most popoular, although it continues growing and making profit in the global space.
