Twitter on Wednesday began to allow ads to be targeted at users based on the words written in 'tweets' and messages forwarded to followers at the popular social network.

 VietNamNet Bridge – In a dimly lit and heavily decorated room of a cafe in downtown Ha Noi, Tran Manh Tien and his four friends share the same table and are all busy surfing the net on their mobile phones and iPads.

“Confession” not only is the place where students show their feelings and admit their faults, but also the space where they can talk about the problems they meet every day.

In 2012, or three years after the day Vietnamese Zing Me announced it left Facebook behind in September 2009, Vietnam witnessed the enthronement of the foreign big social network in Vietnam.

In recent years, the time immediately following Tet has been very lucrative for fortunetellers.

Having realized that Vietnamese users turn their back to Chinese WeChat, other service providers have launched a lot of free apps to attract users.

There is still a “powerful force of bloggers” in Vietnam, which means that the service still has great development potentials.

The Vietnamese Internet users’ community has called on people not to use Chinese WeChat, an OTT (over the top content) app, allowing to make calls and send messages free of charge.

Warned that Vietnamese would give a cool reception, Chinese Tencent and Baidu social networks still have got a large community of users in Vietnam.

Zing has launched Zing Blog service at blog.zing.vn which has been developed on the blog foundation of the social network Zing Me.
