According to the report by iResearch, Chinese Weibo market size will be 2.3 billion RMB (= 360 million USD) in the end of 2015.
This number only targeted the sales revenue of Weibo platform vendor such as Sina and Tencent, not include the sales revenue of third party vendor.
iResearch estimated that its market size will be 0.5 billion RMB in the end of 2012, will be 0.96 billion RMB in the end of 2013, will be 1.54 billion RMB in the end of 2014.
Next data is the component ratio of its revenue.
They estimated its detail as follows:
Ads Game Other
2012 75.6% 21.9% 2.5%
2013 65.1% 26.9% 8.0%
2014 63.2% 21.8% 15.0%
2015 61.6% 18.4% 20.0%
They estimated that Weibo platform vendor mainly earn its revenue from advertisement, but "Other" also gradually increase its share till 2015.
What is "Other"?
They estimated that "Other" is mainly the revenue from EC business on Weibo platform. As I reported before, the combination of Weibo and EC business already started, and its combination will be prospected expanding in near future in China.
As following graph, Weibo already became one of the biggest platform in China.
Except the combination with EC business, I'm interested that what related business will be appeared. I think that its keyword will be BtoB. How do you think? :)

Tencent CEO Pony Ma said that WeChat user will exceed 200 million people in this month.
"2012 China Internet Conference" was held in Beijing today. And at this conference, Tencent CEO "Pony Ma" said that WeChat(Weixin) user will exceed 200 million people in this month.
WeChat user exceeded 100 million people this March, so it follows that this user increased 100 million people in the six months.
And he also said that Tencent will accelerate the following two things in the mobile internet area:
1. O2O business
They placed QR code as the door of mobile internet, and they will accelerate their O2O business by its technology.
2. Security solution
As mobile internet user increase in China, then its security risk is increasing. So they will establish the specific fund, and they will accelerate the solution of this area with partners.
Recently, their rival company started to provide similar solution with WeChat, such as Meyou(Sina), Wangxin(Taobao) in China. And LINE is also steadily increasing their user in Japan and other Asian country.
So I am interested whether their new action can make accelerate increasing their users. Let's keep a very close watch in future action.

Android already dominate 80% of China's smartphone market.
According to the report by Eguan, the market share of Android was 82.8% in China's smartphone market in the second quarter.
The market share of Android in the first quarter was 76.7%, so that is to say it increased 6.1% in a quarter.
Recently MIIT also said that the market share of Android was nearly 80% in China's smartphone market in the first half of the year, so it's no doubt that Android already dominate 80% of China's smartphone market now.
And according to MIIT, the number of smartphone shipments was nearly 100 million units in the first half of the year, and it increased 197% over last year.
On the other hand, Symbian still continue to decrease their market share, and it had finally fallen to 6.0%. The decline of Symbian is equivalent to the decline of Nokia, but they already changed direction to the cooperation with Windows Phone.
Yesterday, Nokia released Lumia 920 that is equipped with Windows 8, but the market share of Windows Phone( include Windows Mobile) was also small at this stage in China.
So we have to keep attentions whether this new mobile phone will get the popularity or not in future.
