The first conversation between Ivan and I related to phase 2 discussion, the amazing moment was happened today. Based on the lasting interest of social network, I prefer to choose my topic around it in Screen Culture field. Recently amounts of social network focus on making friends produced both in UK and China bring a popular storm, eg. Talk box, Weixin. I present a detailed description to my tutor, from my classmates and Ivan's facial expression, I confirm that it should be a "Fresh" in today.
What is " TalkBox":
★ Push-to-talk INSTANT voice messaging, text messaging, photo sharing and location sharing with your friends
★ Cross-Platform Messenger
★ FREE and works over WIFI, 3G and any other data network
★ GROUP CHATS
★ Post voice to Facebook, Twitter and make broadcast to all your friends
★ Address Book and Facebook contact Integration
★ Conversation History & message notification
★ Themes to suit your moods
★ iPod Auto-Resume: Seamlessly work with iPod. Pause iPod when playing voice from TalkBox, and auto-resume afterwards
What is "Weixin":
It is likely a clone of " Talkbox", but has one key advantage to Chinese Users. Just about every single Chinese Internet users has a QQ account, for many QQ is the internet. For Weixin, a QQ account is the only log-in option, which also immediately allows the app to pull from a user’s existing QQ social graph.
