11 China s Social Media Market: Nearly a Billion Users Mostly on Mobile With China s entire population at 1.4 billion, this estimate of 1 billion Chinese social media users may seem exaggerated, until you do some basic math: QQ, one of China s oldest social networks born in the 90 s as a clone of ICQ and now the primary entry point for Qzone, a Facebook-style social network was architected to work on any phone in China, even cheap models with 2G plans. Consequently, it s difficult to find anyone in China without a QQ account. In July 2012, the company reported 700 million monthly active users on QQ, and 500 million monthly active users on Qzone. Those are just the social network platforms of one company. Several others exceed 100 million users.just as notable, most Chinese social media activity happens on mobile: QQ is mainly accessed by phone, as is the second leading network, Sina Weibo, which boasts 60%+ mobile usage.

18 The sharing economy (sometimes also referred to as the peer-to-peer economy, mesh, collaborative economy, collaborative consumption) is a socio-economic system built around the sharing of human and physical resources. It includes the shared creation, production, distribution, trade and consumption of goods and services by different people and organizations. These systems take a variety of forms, often leveraging information technology to empower individuals, corporations, non-profits and government with information that enables distribution, sharing and reuse of excess capacity in goods and services. A common premise is that when information about goods is shared, the value of those goods may increase, for the business, for individuals, and for the community. Jeremiah Owyang URL
