China’s FaceBook?

Xiaonei (校内网, means “inside campus”) is a site with the same design as Facebook, and also provide similar services to college students, currently only Beijing University, Tsinghua University and People’s University of China.

It is said to be operated by Yixun Online(易寻在线), founded by Wang Xing, Wang Huiwen, Lai Binqiang and Jacky. Still no idea it is an official Chinese version of Facebook, or just a Chinese copy of Facebook.

    [...] Can you believe that it is a new project by Wang Xing, the founder of Xiaonei.com and Fanfou.com.

Several months later, Wang Xing left Oak Pacific in early 2007 and then established Fanfou, which is a clone of Twitter.
