VCCorp is aggressively penetrating the “expert” content composition in Vietnam with their new products: CafeF, bnok, gocnhin and thenao
1. CafeF
A group-blog service on Finance and Stock developed basing on WordPress
2. bnok.vn
A group-blog service that hosts multiple professional and interest groups.
Currently, bnok is limited:
- Registration done manually
- Each blog is associated with only one group
- Maximum 3 blogs are associated with 1 account
bnok supports import from these platforms
- Blogger
- Blogware
- DotClear
- RSS
- GreyMatter
- WordPress
- LiveJournal
- Movable Type / Typepad
From this list, it is observable that their development team utilize plugins for WordPress. To penetrate the Vietnamese market, they should have started building a tool to import Yahoo! 360 blog now.
3. gocnhin
A techmeme clone
4. thenao
A Vietnamese wiki platform. I believe that with their financial base, VCCorp will introduce incentives for contributors in the competition with Wikipedia Vietnamese.
The name “thế nào” gives me the impression of “how stuffs work”.
Comments
VCCorp seems like the only player on this field. Will expert content have any potentials for monetization?
Apart from traditional monetization by advertising on web, selling analysis and contents to consumers is also a good idea.
What do you think about these products?

Not a purely social networking site, but it’s worth mentioning that VCCorp’s CafeF has offered WordPress-powered blogging platform that specializes in Stock, and a Q&A channel at blog.cafef.vn
Any other interesting updates?
