kaixinwang

This may be a little obscure on the English side of the web, but it's big in Shanghai so you should know about it. Regarding a phone conversation overheard on the metro:

地铁上一MM电话嗲声嗲气,“今晚你买我伐?”

开心网真靐人啊!

On the subway I overheard a young woman on her cellphone say, in a real Valley Girl voice, "Will you buy me tonight?"

Kaixin Web is really shocking!

The girl on the phone was talking about an application on Facebook-clone Kaixinwang that allows members to buy and sell each other as slaves using virtual online currency. The person who overheard her is implying that, taken out of context by other subway passengers, the young woman could have been mistaken for a prostitute.

It's the Facebook epidemic all over again!
