We have reported the rumored Sina Weibo’s virtual currency, Weibi. There is no official announcement from Sina so far on how and when Sina Weibo will introduce its e-commerce system. But, interesting enough, Sina just updated its development document which leaks the information about its Weibi currency.

That implies Individual developers are not eligible to make money on Weibo.
