While people are complaining about how to see the emails... Zuckerberg is right, and in 10 years since Facebook (or anyone else) has done nothing to address the problem. Or to build similar products.

Some quotes:
In China there is this strong culture of cloning things quickly and building lots of different products instead of just focusing on one thing at a time. This allows them to plant lots of seeds, and although it yields lower quality products in the short term as they're cloning and the markets are growing quickly...
They (Renren) They also have more features than us, including:
They have built their own version of Pinterest. In addition to your own timeline, you can have board pages that people can follow. They are tightly integrated into their NF.
They have built their own version of Tumblr. Same deal as with their version of Pinterest.
They have built their own standalone messenger app, where one key feature is using it like a walkie talkie -- basically like Voxer. Apparently Tencent QQ has also released a Voxer-like app which is really blowing up in China.
Renren has also built their own games and they have 6 of the top 10 Chinese games in the iOS app
store.
They have also built out a full music product where they have licensed all the music in China
themselves.
They have done some innovative things with commenting, like enabling people to easily fork comment threads to turn them into separate threads if they want.
