I wrote a post back in January, asking why Second Life is not officially localized in China yet. Ten months later since then, HiPiHi has become a super star in the virtual world even it is still in private test; NOVOKing is not really following Second Life’s philosophy but it has started private test and has also […]

Since March this year, HiPiHi has gone through three phases in its private test period. It will finally enter the 4th phase in which the economic system and social systems will be introduced, which is really an exciting news to the HiPiHi residents.

At the first day, around 100 users have been qualified and became the first generation […]

If you search for the posts with the keyword ‘China’ on TechCrunch, there are eight posts which are China web related in the past month. The latest one is HiPiHi Seeks To Standardize 3D Worlds And Develop Interoperability which I also covered here. It is quite unusual, I would say. If you ever read a post titled Google […]

[Ed: The following post was actually written 2 weeks ago, but in Chinese with more details. It seems that Frenzoo has now opened its public test, you need apply for the Membership first.] First please allow me to say thanks to two lovely ladies: Eda, thank you very much for inviting me to attend the private test; […]

  It has been a few times I have blogged about the Second Life (SL) in China. The user base of SL is growing very fast (btw, another SL community just left a comment on my previous post), but we are still waiting for SL’s official movement into Chinese internet.
