==Introduction==
Tencent Weibo was a social network that connected all users together. It enhanced communication between friends. Users could share photos, videos and text with a 140-character limit. The reposting function of Tencent Weibo was similar to [[Twitter]]'s "retweeting", which was replied in @ form. In comparison, Tencent Weibo encourages users to create new topics on their own. With the support of [[QQ]], Tencent didn't intend to launch Tencent Weibo at a strategic level, but as a marketing tactic to curb competitors.

Some Chinese celebrities were Tencent Weibo users, including, Ma Huateng, Zhou Hongyi, Liu Xiang and Jet Li.

Features

[edit]

Initially only QQ users could register Tencent Weibo account corresponding to their own QQ number. Weibo accounts were not automatically registered for QQ users, they needed to log into their Tencent Weibo page for registration.
