Yixin still have some problem, but it was a good turnout. In 24 hours after publishing, Yixin got more than a million users.

Last time, I introduced about 'Yixin' that is co-produced IM tool by China Telecom and Netease.

According to their official information, it made a good start just after its publishing, and Yixin got more than a million users in 24 hours.

And Yixin got the 1st ranking of social category in the App store that night, and it also got the 2nd ranking in all of free apps on there.

About the other number, there were more than 300,000 pictures in its social feature, and there were 1 million times SMS sending, and there were 400,000 times voicemail communications.

Actually, some user said that its voice quality is much better than WeChat, and my friends or colleagues also said that it seems it's better than WeChat.

As I said last time, they have a target that they will get more than 100 million users in the six months, but they announced a new target that they will get more than 10 million users till the end of this month.

But on the other hand, it's true that Yixin has a lot of trouble with registration, SMS communication, voicemail and so forth. About these troubles, they promised to solve as soon as possible on their official account of Sina Weibo.

There are some mortifying things other than these troubles. It's the registration from the oversea. Now there are some difficulties in the registration from oversea as follows:

- iOS version of Yixin cannot download from out of China.

*It seems that there is the regional limitation.

- The registration of Yixin is needed the mobile phone number of China.

- The menu of Yixin supports only simplified Chinese now.

*In the app store, they wrote that it supports English and simplified Chines, but actually it seems it doesn't support.

About the Android version of it, you can download its apk file from their official site, but there are still remains the problem of registration and its menu.

About this, there is nothing for it but to wait their correspondence.

According to the news, the stock price of Netease increased 20% compared to before publishing Yixin. It can be said that their start dash was successful, so let's watch their action and the market response from now on too.

WeChat users was already 270,000,000 people, and its number may exceed 300 million people in the next month.

As you know, WeChat is the most popular IM tool now in China .

Tencent started to provide the service of WeChat on January 21, 2011. The number of this user exceeded 100 million people on March 29, 2012(it takes 433 days), and the number of this user exceeded 200 million people on September 7, 2012(it takes 172 days).

And according to the recent news, this user already exceeded 270 million people at December 8, 2012. So this means its user increased 70 million people in 81 days (from September 7, 2012). Because its recent daily increasing number is 864,200 people, if they keep the speed of increasing, then the day that the number of this user will exceed 300 million people may be around January 10, 2013.


Now WeChat is promoting not only in China, but also is promoting in the rest of Asia. And they recently accelerated the O2O marketing activity as the one of their monetize.

We have to keep attention to their activity not only in China, but also in the other country.
