User experience:

Little K: As a user, I am very fond of some third-party applications. For example, if it is suitable for my mobile phone system, I can microblog anytime and anywhere. With some gadgets, I can check food discounts and vehicle fines. It’s really beyond my expectation that Weibo can do this. However, I also have some doubts. Is it necessary for the Weibo platform to work so hard to add third-party applications, especially game applications? Just as a large number of games were added to domestic SNS websites at that time, users all went to play games. Going to SNS websites was not to contact friends and share information. Eventually, when they got tired of playing games, they rarely used them or directly logged out of their accounts. I hope that domestic Weibo will not suffer the same fate as some SNS websites.
