Sina Weibo App - Weico

Since I started my Sina Weibo, its been quite a ride, I guess its geographic circumstances… but everyone I met here in Beijing has a weibo account and instead of asking my mobile number or email, they asked for my weibo ID.

Thanks to my good pal Foniz, which has been cruising on weibo for a lot longer than I do. He shared with me this really cool weibo app - Weico and I have to say after using it, I really don’t want to use anything else.

To start with, here is the list why I like it:

Design wise its really clean and not straight clones from Twitter or Sina weibo own’s iPhone apps.

Got lots of different themes, my favorite is the Fish Eye, cool sleek soothing blue.

If you are already following someone on weibo, you can easily use the “@” sign to mention that person, instead of manually typing it (which sometimes result in typo).

The pound or hashtag is not there yet as the function above, hopefully it will be soon and it should include the latest trending topics.

The built-in lomo camera effects, pretty much like Instagram, but different (so again not straight clone).

If you’ve been categorizing the people you follow into lists or groups, then this is the right app as you can filter out streams now by groups.

Built in check-in location, you can either use your geotag or sync via JiePang.

Best of all it’s free, you can download it here :)
