How many Twitter clones in Vietnam have perished? What next?

Since 2008, the following

1. qblog.vn
2. hola.vn
3. tiutit.com
4. nhangui.com
5. lamgi.com
6. kucku.vn
7. tictac.vn

A veteran from the Twitter clone craze in 2008 is mimo.vn and they did implement the SMS mass messaging feature that I had hinted. Another one is also left is saigonica.com

In 2011, these new local micro-blogging products were launched:

1. ming.vn from VCCorp
2. live.zing.vn from VNG
3. pega.vn from VCCorp [slightly different in that it works on "add friend" mechanism instead of follow]
4. vsao.vn

The wave of Weibo cloning will be observable in 2012.

Meanwhile, Tumblr is growing rapidly. Vietnamese users like right-brain products.
