Icons in order what-is below (from wikipedia):

Jia This is essentially that same thing as Add This but totally geared for the Chinese social media landscape. At Caimeiju we have integrated this into our platform so that any Chinese visitor who likes one of our clients properties or wishes to share our articles, can easily do so across their own favorite social media pages.

Sina Weibo is a Chinese microblogging (weibo) website. Akin to a hybrid of Twitter and Facebook, it is one of the most popular sites in China, in use by well over 30% of Internet users, with a market penetration similar to what Twitter has established in the USA.[3] It was launched bySINA Corporation on 14 August 2009,[1] and has 503 million registered users as of Dec 2012.[4] About 100 million messages are posted each day on Sina Weibo.[5]

Tencent QQ, popularly known as QQ, is an instant messaging software service developed by Tencent Holdings Limited. QQ also offers a variety of services, including online social gamesmusicshoppingmicroblogging, and group and voice chat.

The Renren Network (Chinese: 人人网; pinyinRénrénwǎng; literally “Everyone’s Website”), formerly known as the Xiaonei Network(Chinese: 校内网; literally “on-campus network”) is a Chinese social networking service that is dubbed as “a Chinese copy of Facebook.”[3]It has been called the Facebook of China, popular amongst college students.[4] In February 2011, Renren made a pre-IPO announcement that it had 160 million registered users.[5] Later, in April 2011, it had to update its statement accurately to “a total of 31 million active monthly users.”[6]

Qzone (Chinese: QQ空间) is a social networking website, which was created by Tencent in 2005. It allows users to write blogs, keep diaries, send photos, listen to music, and watch videos. Users can set their Qzone background and select accessories based on their preferences so that every Qzone is customized to the individual member’s taste. However, most Qzone services are not free; only after buying the “Canary Diamond” can users access every service without paying extra.[1] A mobile version is available at extra cost.

According to a report published by Tencent, possibly surpassing other social networking websites like Facebook and MySpace in China.[2]Qzone is rapidly growing: as of November 2013, it already had 623.3 million users.[3] 150 million Qzone users update their accounts at least once a month. This makes Qzone one of the most active communities in the whole industry.[4]
