Quzhai Enters Deadpool

QuzhaiBeijing based StumbleUpon like service Quzhai has sent out an email to all its users that the service will be shut down very soon.

Quzhai learns users’ interest by asking them to click like or dislike button on its toolbar. Then it will show more webpages to the users according to their interests. Basically it’s a social recommendation service.

To attract more entry level users, Quzhai focused its content on entertainment news. A trick I have learned from the founder is that readers of this kind of news have no strong preference. If they like one of them, they will like them all.

Quzhai is a student startup which has received RMB 1 million from business plan contest. We first mentioned the service in last June.

    What do you think would be the main cause of Quzhai’s failure?
