Do you think the three social apps Duoshan, Toilet MT and Chatbao can challenge WeChat’s social status?

I think none of them will work. None of these three can challenge WeChat’s social status.

It is understood that "Duoshan" released by Zhang Yiming is the first independent social product launched by Douyin, focusing on short video production for social networking.

Wang Xin’s “Toilet MT” focuses on anonymous social networking. The official introduction describes it as a dark network of connections, a shadow of the circle of friends, where everything cannot be seen or heard on WeChat, or even Deleted content may appear here, known as "anonymous exploration of secret artifacts."

The chat app brought by Luo Yonghao is an upgraded version of Bullet SMS, with new functions such as circle of acquaintances.

In response to this menacing social "encirclement and suppression", Tencent also responded promptly. The "Toilet MT" released by Wang Xin was "blocked" by Tencent less than an hour after it opened for registration.

The invitation links for "Duoshan" from the headline series and "Chatbao" brought by Luo Yonghao were also blocked by WeChat shortly after they were released yesterday.

“I don’t know what you are afraid of?” Wang Xin, the founder of Qvod, posted a screenshot of Toilet MT’s WeChat page that “has stopped accessing this page” on social media, pretending to be confused. As of press time, Tencent has not commented on this.

In fact, WeChat has never lacked challengers. From Xiaomi's MiLiao, which was launched before WeChat, to NetEase's Yixin, Alibaba's Laihuang, and Bullet SMS, which suddenly became popular last year, they all failed to defeat WeChat, either fell silent or found another way.

It should be mentioned that compared with "Toilet MT" and "Chatbao", the launch of "Duoshan" is generally considered by the industry to be a further heating up of the war between the two, and is more worthy of follow-up attention. Last year, in June In August, Toutiao and Tencent complained to each other, and the two sides turned against each other.

The recently updated WeChat is involved in short videos, while Douyin has begun to get involved in social networking. Many industry insiders believe that the two companies do not rule out cross competition in some fields in the future.

Regarding the release of social apps by three companies on the same day, Fang Xingdong, CEO of Internet Lab and the godfather of Chinese blogging, commented in Moments: Let the competition become more intense and break the boring pattern of WeChat’s dominance in the past five years.

As for who can stand out, I don’t know.

According to a circulated screenshot, Ma Huateng, Chairman and CEO of Tencent, responded below: "Let your family use it first. We are clearly opposed to anonymous social networking with negative energy." , nothing to say.”
