Dubbed almost everywhere as the “Chinese Second Life”, HiPiHi is a virtual world, currently still in private Beta, that aims to emulate the success of its American counterpart. HiPiHi allows users to fully create and customize their character, meet new users and interact in an open world. The world is expected to have its very own economy and will allow users to have their property and businesses. The screens we saw of the application are very impressive and many users have signed up for a tryout already.

We recently had the chance to talk to Cindy Jiang, head of marketing at HiPiHi, to understand a bit more what HiPiHi is about and how it aims to attract users.

What are the social networking aspects and tools of HiPiHi? How can users interact in HiPiHi?

HiPiHi is a platform, which can offer a totally interactive, immersive and open-ended experience for users to create, inhabit and govern a new world of their own design. So it is also natural to be a social networking platform. Just like in real life, communication is the basic part of your life in the virtual world. The users can exchange their ideas through the online chatting tools (only text for now). They can also send messages to each other both online and offline. Read more see link…..
