Who's the Most Social of China's Internet Giants?

   Date:2011/07/22

The good folks at CIC, a research company focused on Chinese social media (full disclosure: also my internship host), have produced a stunning infographic of the social services for 10 top internet companies.

Chinese internet giants often try to be everything to everybody (mission creep, anyone?) and this infographic lays out the wide range of products they attempt.

This CIC infographic divides products into no fewer than 18 main categories:

Open Platforms (Internet companies offering Open API not only for a single product, but also cross-product APIs)
Group Buying
Online Games (game center)
Microblogging
IM (instant messaging)
BBS (online forum)
Q&A (or Social Q&A like Quora)
e-Commerce (does not include group buying sites)
Video (sites with video uploading capability)
Music (sites with music storage, playback and social capability)
SNS
Blog
LBS
RSS (Google Reader like RSS service)
Lite Blog (Tumblr Clones)
Consumer Review
Wiki (online Wikipedia sites)
Business Social Network (LinkedIn Clones)
