Diandian Founder Jack Xu: we grow as five times as the rate of Facebook

June 21, Diandian.com held its press conference to celebrate its million users and moving out from Innovation Works, the startup incubator founded by Kaifu Lee. Diandian founder Jack Xu stated on the conference, the number of Diandian register users has reached 1 million on June 3rd, which means Diandian gains 11 users every minute average after its open for registration on April 7. It took Twitter more than a year to have the same magnitude base of users, and 10 months for Facebook. Diandian grows as five times as the growth rate of Facebook.

Founded by Jack Xu, former Renren head, Diandian is the Chinas Tumblr clone, a light-blogging social community providing users a platform for creating and sharing their original user generated contents, with emphasis on customization and ease of use. Aiming to create a interest-based high quality content community, Diandian enables users to create and share 5 types of contents, text, picture, music, video and link by simply clicking the buttons on the top of page. The site has powerful interactive functions.

On last fridays Wudaokou Salon held in Wudaokou, Beijing, Jack Xu shared his view on the topic, Evolution of Blog. He said, traditional types of media are outdated modes just like black and white televisions and radios, though still in existence but are not future trends already. I am a believer of Web2.0. I believe in no homepage, no editor, no anything, only your own eyes. The system will match and tell me what kind of content you like, or what content you want. Everyone is their own editor.

As the quickest incubated project in Innovation works, it only takes Diandian two months to move out from Innovation Works after launching, with more than USD10 million capital it seized from big names like Sequoia Capital and Ceyuan Ventures.According to Jack Xu, Diandian is aiming to gain 10 million users by the end of this year, and 100 million users in the next two to three years in the future.

So far, DianDian copies about 80% of Tumblrs functionalities. Hoping that Diandian is going to push their unique localised innovations soon.

    Samsung asks ITC to ban the import of Apple devices

    Image
    The back-and-forth in the patent dispute between Samsung and Apple continues, with Samsung filing a request for a U.S. import ban against the iPhone, iPad and iPod, FOSS Patents reports . The complaint was filed with the International Trade Commission (ITC) on Tuesday. The ITC is a government regulatory body, which acts independently of the courts. Apple seems to be gearing up for a preliminaryinjunctionrequest in its legal case against Samsung in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, but it hasnt sought any action from the ITC, unlike in previous cases against competing smartphone manufacturers such as HTC . Samsungs move is a clever way to beat Apple to a potentially hobbling import ban, since the ITCs decision is independent of the ongoing court case, and a final decision is reached within a fairly set time frame of 16 to 18 months, once the ITC agrees to investigate. Apple is likely to respond with a complaint of its own, according to FOSS Patents Floria...

    China to make Tesla the next BMW

    Tesla's China business is booming Hong-Kong traded Tencent, a company best known for its WeChat messaging app, disclosed in a Tuesday filing that it's  taken a 5 percent stake in Tesla for $1.78 billion.  The investment follows Tencent's new stake in taxi-hailing app Didi Chuxing, which can be accessed through WeChat. "I think Tencent likely wanted exposure to a company that was growing very quickly in electric and autonomous" vehicles, said Tasha Keeney, an analyst on the  ARK Industrial Innovation ETF (ARKQ) , whose top holding is Tesla. "We think the autonomous mobility as a service market could be $10 trillion in gross sales globally by the early 2030s, and companies like Tesla or  Baidu  could take a cut of that," she said. Tesla declined to comment to CNBC. Tencent did not respond to emailed requests for comment. A Tencent spokesperson  told The Wall Street Journal  that "Tesla is a global pioneer at the forefront of new te...

    Who Will Create iTunes for the Cloud?

    Image
    If youre like me, your digital media life is messy. If I were to take inventory of where all my digital media resides, the list would include Flickr, Facebook, iTunes, Android, Netflix, YouTube, Picasa, Flipshare, Amazon, Kindle, iBooks, Windows PC, Mac, iPad and so on. Like I said, a mess. And while Im an early adopter, Im probably not very different from tens of millions of consumers who face digital media anarchy every day across the various screens, accounts and software populating their life. Apple is the first company to even come close to helping us manage this chaos, with iTunes. After it was first introduced a decade ago, the service becamehugely popular partly because it was the first cohesive management tool for first music, then later other types of media. But iTunes has gotten flabby with age , and the creaking has gotten more noticeable lately as the cloud becomes more and more important for digital media storage. In a way, iTunes has become the Windows of consumer medi...
