Portfolio__Lobs Social Media Family

Lobs Social Media Family is a series of micro-blog accounts under Weibo.com, a Chinese Twitter-like website. Some content also syncs to Twitter. The Family currently has six accounts(including my personal one), three of which are available on Twitter. According to the content, each account represents one specific city or one specific institution, they broadcast various information and news updates in Simplified Chinese for a better reach to the Chinese population. YES, "for a better reach to the Chinese population" is the main reason to start this project.
