Richard Hong wrote a post about two Chinese Twitters, in the post he mentioned only two Chinese copycats, and got a conclusion that "Perhaps Chinese programmers are not lack of skill but creativity." Basically, I agree with his point of view,especially after I doing a research and found a total of SIX Chinese version of Twitters. They are:
V2EX ing -V2EX is an outstanding and very 2.0 Geek forum,ing is an extension to the forum but it does the same thing as other twitters do.
Popwu -with a Black and White theme,popwu support MSN, Gtalk and SMS.Special feature is "blog subscription" which will notify you blog update via Instance Messengers.
ByUU -Just a simple and crude twitter, support MSN only.
komoo -It perfectly simulate Twitter's Design for individuals and Badges, but komoo seems not be ready for IM or SMS.
weazone saying -weazone is a music community. As V2EX ing,saying is only one of the various functions of weazone.Presently, saying supports MSN and Gtalk,and Badges.
fanfou -As far as I know, fanfou is the latest Chinese Twitter. It has a more comfortable theme and operating feeling. Support MSN and SMS.
Update: One more Wulog via Richard Hong
In summary, I believe these copycats are unable to attract much Chinese users,because none of them can provide more device support than twitter. Besides, China's No.1 IM QQ is not in their support list.
