The ability to escape the Great Fire Wall and a few million Chinese that want to be your friend so they can practice their English.

A large Chinese user base. Bah-dum-bum!

Thank you folks, I'll be here all week.

DaBen:

Come on. I've already mentioned the Chinese. I expected better from you.

MrTibbles:

The main difference is that it has video and picture uploads. Twitter doesn't because Twitter isn't pretending to be anything more than it is. Small messages from mobile devices.

No you didn't have to actually be helpful. I was just hoping for a better corny joke that what you gave.

Apparently more possibilities, looks like a better tweeter but a lesser facebook. And it's under the government's control, so they can del... uh harmonize any non-harmonious content.

Forward Question

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
