Fanfou (Chinese: 饭否) is a Chinese microblogging (weibo) website. It was the first Twitter clone in China.

History[]

Fanfou.com was founded by Wang Xing with the team that created Xiaonei on 12 May 2007. The website was developed in LAMP stack with Twitter-compatible APIs.

Hewlett-Packard became its first paid customer on June 2, 2009.[1]

It was closed on 7 July 2009 due to censorship in the wake of July 2009 Ürümqi riots.[2] It was reopened on 11 November 2010.[3]
