:lol WeChat"  what a good English name

雨落风残 发表于 2014-2-6 19:32

It's the first time I have heard WeChat has this feature. By the way, I get to know from this article that the English expression for “微信” is "WeChat". I still believe the application QQ have most of the features of WeChat, except the feature of " having a shake", so I don't quite understand why Tencent developed such an application. Isn't it a waste of resource and money?

   no no no no~ why don't u think it can save much money and save much time, i think Tencent  use WeChat replace text massage (SMS),QQ don't have ,and not all have QQ ID... In the another hand ,it 's another market strategy (to protect his user  members or user numbers ) to fight with Sina (who created Weibo)... and sometimes for user ,using Wechat  is a safer way to share private photos and information with friends...

   What do you mean by little dust? I'm very picky about the correct usage of English words and expressions. :qq71]

'
   little dust==my boss always use it ,it's the same meaning with "never mind or not think about it too much"
anyway~if u r too picky about usage , u will be tired of it, i guess, sometimes when we chat ,we seldom to care too much about the way  or construction of expressions ,it can save much time and have fun with talking ,when u can express clearly ,it's ok...
