Most of the Chinese IT Bloggers think the fate of China Web2.0 is to copy foreign Web2.0 method and translate the whole sites into Chinese then sell it and get money back.
According to this theory,the popular Blog SNS site MyBlogLog should,of course,have her Chinese copy-cat.Now I find it,its name is WaZhua.
Wait a minute,let me tell a truth - mybloglog is no the first one to provide Recent Readers Widget,I remember that years ago many Chinese BSP had provided this Widget.But they are not that successful as mybloglog,because different BSP have different API and one account can only be recognized by one BSP.So strictly speaking,both Mybloglog and WaZhua are the copy cats.
Back to WaZhua,she provide a Recent Readers Widget but can not chose the size or color,it looks like a black flash box.Some people may feel this widget doesn't harmonize well with their blog design.Here is my live demo:
Different from MyBlogLog,Wazhua's widget waste a lot of space to show the profile of the owner,most of which I think is needless,like the owner's age,gender and favorite star(s).These information should be listed in account page if the visitors wanna see.
The user account page have some problems too."Sites and Blogs I Author(我编写的博客/网站)" permit you to add only three sites(I have six Blogs!) with their names and URL but no Screenshot or Short Description or RSS Feed.Generally,"Sites and Blogs I Author" is just a link that relink to your blogs not a community.
Wazhua's SNS function is also poor,there is an unique relationship - FRIEND.No fans,no admirers,no family,no contacts.All the messages are public,never try to hide them :)
I know it no fair to compare Wazhua with MyBlogLog,they are different though have something very similar.MyBlogLog have more experience and powerful influence in blogosphere.Wazhua is local starup,she has a Chinese interface and faster access speed,but the functions are too weak and users are unable to modify the widgets.I personally advise Wazhua improving their services as soon as better or other will take her place in China.
