Apple, As Usual, Changes Everything

Even interfaces for web widgets in China are using the iPhone UI!

Sina Goes Widgets

Sina, the most popular Chinese web portal, today quietly launched a new product called Sina Mofun with an iPhone-like interface.

Sina Mofun, similar to Yahoo Widgets, is a desktop widgets client, which closely integrated with Sina’s web 2.0 services, including blog, photo sharing, video sharing, groups, forums and others. On Sina Mofun, you can read your friends’ latest activities, or newsfeed, receive instant notice for new comments on your blog posts, photos or videos. It can also be used as an IM tool for real-time chatting with your friends in Sina. Currently only limited widgets for Sina’s services are available on Sina Mofun, and it does not support any open developer platform now. Sina Mofun is just a tool to bundle Sina’s various services and build a walled garden for users, at least so far.
