The amount of information Baidu holds about their citizens is far beyond what any NSA knows about a US citizen. I think that’s kind of scary and fascinating all at once.
I think I’m weird in the sense of how little I care about my personal privacy. I don’t know if I’ve met anyone that cares less about it than I do. I mean, I support that people who want their privacy should absolutely have it, but I personally just don’t care much about it.
I don’t know, I guess I don’t have anything to hide so it doesn’t bother me. I’m always willing to give up my personal info for deals or app downloads and what not. If the government wants to tap into my phone lines or scan my pictures to find a criminal, I don’t really care. But like I said, I’m weird 🙂
I am very much the same way. I think what we can do with shared information is so much cooler than be staunch about it.
A site’s ability to market itself via Mobile is key to success in China, it must integrate its cross-platform efforts to get success, this comes in the form of Mobile friendly sites, Mobile App (if applicable) and effective use of WeChat marketing. Merging these efforts is the best route to get success in China.
Yes, I’ve heard WeChat is huge there. Good insight @daviddigitalshifu:disqus.
