Except for WeChat? Wasn't there an article a while back touting how WeChat is ahead of Facebook in terms of user experience?

Is this supposed to be a joke? I hardly see any non-Chinese using wechat....

The point of my comment is that WeChat is better Facebook clone.. At least that was the discussion here.

It gets a positive response in terms of usability, technical capabilities, etc.

It's easy to be better than messy user-unfriendly facebook :-) Russian clone vkontakte is way better, for example.

I don't think it's a joke. Wechat is a highly usable app, but more importantly it is integrated with many parts of Chinese life so you use it for many things. Perhaps most importantly of all it made headway into getting people to trust online payments in China. It's not perfect but it is ahead of Facebook in some respects

Maybe WeChat is not a clone?
