WeChat Forum on Admart.Asia is now live

After a few months of development, our WeChat forum is now finally live. Take a look at http://www.admart.asia/ (select WeChat on the right side of the main menu toolbar).



What we wanted to create was a chat forum that was easy and simply to use. We considered using chat forum software SMF from Simple Machines LLC, but in the end we decided to create our own customised version. And we wanted it to have the same look and feel as the rest of the Admart.Asia website. It took a while but we finally got there, and people are now starting to use WeChat.



The WeChat forum right now includes the following topics:



Babies / Pregnancy
Beauty
Cars
Computer games
Computers
Cooking
Diet
Domain names
Domestic help
Education
Famous people
Fashion
Health / Medical
Jokes and funny stories
Ladies
Legal
Love / Relationships
Mahjong
Men
Money / Investing
Movies / TV
Music
News and current affairs
Nightclubs / Bars
Online video links
Other

Scams
School life
Sport
Technology
Travel
University
WeChat Bahasa
WeChat Chinese 中文聊天
WeChat Hindi
WeChat Japanese 日本語言語
WeChat Korean 한국어 채팅
WeChat Tagalog
WeChat Thai ภาษาไทย
WeChat Vietnamese



If there are other topics that you suggest should be added, or if you have any other feedback, please let me know. You can reply to blog spot, or to Wayan.Chan@Admart.Asia.



I really hope that WeChat will become a leading chat forum for people in Asia to use.



And in other news ... I have been asked by a tech publication to become a regular contributor on internet issues in the Asian region. More on this topic in future blog postings from me.
