Unsubscribe Chinese to follow: (Click here to go to the Chinese version) Groupon China launched this week, at gaopeng.com because another big copycat is using groupon.cn. The Chinese internet is littered with the corpses of foreign firms that failed, but Groupon certainly has the war chest to give it a shot. This week I also authored an update on “China’s Top 4 Social Networks: RenRen, Qzone, Pengyou, and Kaixin001.”  Competition is fierce in this fractured market, but we may see consolidation in the coming year, particularly if the struggling Kaixin001 is acquired or pushed out. The Global Mobile Internet Conference (GMIC) in Beijing on April 27-28 looks to be a must-attend conference. In addition to Chinese giants like Tencent CEO Pony Ma, they’ve also confirmed DST founder Yuri Milner, who dramatically shook up the Silicon Valley with his high-valuation investments in Facebook, Groupon, and Zynga. Also, the deadline for the GMIC G-startup competition (for mobile startups) has been extended to March 21, with prizes now confirmed from innovation Works, Chinaccelerator, and Plug and Play.   Shanghai StartupDigest is curated by: Kai Lukoff - Analyst at BloggerInsight Sunny Ye - Blogger at www.techrice.com What's Going On in the Shanghai Startup Community Art Meets Social Media When: Saturday, March 26 - 14:00—17:00 Venue: Xin Dan Wei (N0. 50 Yong Jia Road) Cost: 30RMB/person With the advent of mainstream social networking technologies like Twitter, Facebook, Weibo and others, social media have created a new form of public space that is one part digital, one part social.
