This is the channel part, which allow you to be looking and searching the ranking or the most recommended official account . It is fully filter by developer to try find out the most suitable channel you want to concern to.

 Of course, if you didn't have any desire to specific information, maybe you can go to here to random see all kind of information .I been try for a whole day looking at this and at the same time i found it quite fun that i gain my knowledge without my notice.


Well, you can concern to the official account not only through this apps, you also can click the "concern" button and your WECHAT will take concern on those specific official account that you like to concern to. Whenever those official account updated, you can receive a notification from WECHAT to inform you.


Just like previous, you like to concern some specific official account but it not under any way from above, this will be the only way you can more specific concern and search. It separates into a few category which are comedy, lifestyle, technology, finance, horoscope and so on. By filter out to the official account, you will realize that it really awesome and you will get whatever you want.

Target audience: 
For this mobile app that they created is targeted to the audience who are WECHAT user while not willing only use WECHAT as a communication tools. Last but not least, is for those who willing to gain more knowledge and no idea where to get those information for a specific category.

Objective:
There are only one objective, which are using WECHAT to learn a thing, and also sharing to their WECHAT friends with the knowledge they concern to.

How to Measure?
Very simple, when there are a people who click concern to a official account, it actually shown that the person already using this apps and furthermore, because this apps need to be link together with WECHAT, so which mean WECHAT can easily find out how many users did link with this apps and then could get a number how many consumers of this apps.

Do we hire for "Free" Media?

Let us make it clear, media have 2 major form, one is old media which are those media such as
newspaper,magazine, TV, radio, book and so on. Another major form will be new media, which had been
widely used for our current generation.There are a lot of form such as video streaming, facebook, online
newspaper and so on. All new media can be on demand anywhere with a gadget with internet access.


In my title,I believe the media which are free is point to new media as i believe old media will not completed free right? 

So, do we hire for free media? In my opinion, YES...why? Because who doesn't like free stuff? So since new media is free, so why don't grab one more medium to disseminate our message?

I would like to show a video clip which  briefly state out how horror the use of social media:
