I just came across a Twitter-like service in China. Alas, another Twitter clone in China. LaiGuLa is another player that just launched in China, still in beta mode but when you visit this site, you’ll notice that LaiGuLa is designed with the Twitter effects and reflections. On the landing page, a user can search her friends through the search bar, and each message is entitled to 140 characters. As stated above, LaiGuLa is not the merely Twitter-like player in China. Within a matter of months since Twitter launched, there are several Twitter-like players such as atnote, fanfou, jiwai.de, and popwu.com on the Web (the names listed are according to alphabetical order). You also can read some of the brief introduction of these Twitter clones by clicking here.

Notwithstanding the growth in the number of Twitter-like players in China, these startups are all gaining momentum, and their audience got fairly significant, not the least being that they required some funding from venture capitalists in order for further growth.
