Qzone Social Network

In China, where Twitter and Facebook are banned, there is a huge niche for companies to occupy in the social networking world, and native social apps are the major players.

Qzone is a social network preference for many Chinese internet users. Created by the company Tencent, it allows users to write blogs, send photos or watch videos, keep a diary and more. It offers a special background feature that allows each user to customize their profile from the compatible themes they offer, however sometimes at a price. One unique aspect is the background music option that users can download their favorite songs to and have them play as long as the page is left open.

In 2015, Qzone hosted 755 million users and is currently on the up-climb. Qzone’s main competitor is RenRen, a Facebook-styled social media app that holds 17% market share while Qzone holds 22%. As China begins to grow as an economic power, more and more people will start turning to the internet and because they prefer a service that offers their language and script in a natively comprehensible way, these homegrown apps will continue to matter for a long time.
