    Quick Updates on Vietnamese Social Networking Sites

    Category: How Products benefit users 2 Comments »

    CyVee

    News feed is implemented in CyVee

    faceViet

    faceViet launched new Beta with an interface different from that of Facebook.

    They provide a rich Blogging platform and Music (both audio and video) embedding which are not present in Facebook core.

    More reviews will come later soon…

    yUp!

    yUp! opens Beta, as previously reported.

    yobanbe

    yobanbe has been transferred to Zing domain yobanbe.zing.vn

    Good move for boosting Zing’s Alexa rank.

    yeah1

    yeah1 grows from a forum to a community for teenagers. They aim at building a magazine and a TV channel for this market.

    CafeF

    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?

    yUp.vn opens Beta

    Category: How Products benefit users 1 Comment »

    yUp! logo

    yUp! silently opens Beta just before Tet holiday. My impression is that their efforts are spent to organize and provide most relevant information to users.

    New features

    Chatting

    Talks has been added. It works the same way as that of a simple forum. This should allow more interactions between yUppers.

    Large publish button

    Security options

    Security levels for user profile & homepage.

    Design

    The new layout is nice and neat with a lot of spaces to breath. The design concords perfectly with the mission of organizing information of the website.

    Organizing information

    Homepage

    On its homepage, instead of throwing a lot of options in directories on users, only hottest ones are displayed: yUp’s Picks, Highest Rating.

    yUp’s Picks and Highest Rating goes the same for Venues.

    Events

    Events tab makes it even further: they provide Week view of events. Navigation can be done chiefly through the calendar which is very convenient

    Treeview

    Categories on the treeview have been simplified to 4, which makes to less confusing for users.

    Conclusion

    Information organization is what makes success of Google. Can we say the same for yUp!?
