Perspective
Facekoo (simplified Chinese: 飞思酷; traditional Chinese: 飛思酷; pinyin: fēi'sī'kù) was a social networking platform created by a private proprietorship, the FaceKoo, Inc., which was based in Beijing, China. The FaceKoo name is derived from "face" and "koo" (a homonym for cool in Chinese). In the Chinese-language based market, this social networking platform targeted teenagers.[citation needed]
FaceKoo was created by co-founders Calvin Pak, CEO, David Yan, Chief technical officer, and Sheryl Liu, CMO, who are all Chinese Americans with extensive business track records in the Silicon Valley.[1] FaceKoo offered numerous features, such as Mojing, a magic mirror that liked users to another FaceKoo member by facial analysis.[2] Facial features could be chosen by users, so they could find their ideal “koo-friend”. Online games and other interactive applications are also fascinating features available on FaceKoo.[citation needed]
FaceKoo rapidly grew since the initial launch in March 2008 in China. A Facebook sound alike website, FaceKoo, was considered as one of the major Chinese social networking site that can fit into the Eastern culture, said FaceKoo's founder.[3] According to San Francisco Chronicle, FaceKoo had 350,000 users since its introduction in 2004.[4]
