SHANGHAI, May 29, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- The British Broadcasting Corporation (www.bbc.co.uk) recently aired a story on China's Mobile apps market featuring Guanxi Inc. (www.Guanxi.me), the Shanghai based mobile social discovery company and a subsidiary of mInfo Inc. The report was focused on new innovative apps coming out of China as the country reaches the milestone of the one billionth mobile subscriber. The Guanxi.me app is free to download and supports both Android and IOS smart phones. Guanxi.me lets users see and interact with people and places around them, and intelligently notifies users when relevant people or offers are nearby. "Apps like Guanxi.me have valuable social networking user and behavior databases," the BBC explains, "that could be attractive to high street retailers."
Guanxi.me was created to enhance the way people use technology to interact with one another. "People are social animals but today's technology is more geared to replacing face-to-face contact," Alvin Wang Graylin, Guanxi Inc. CEO, explains to the BBC. "We want to enhance and increase face-to-face contact between our users."
With over one billion mobile subscribers in China, it is by far the largest mobile market in the world, equivalent to three times the total population of the United States. BBC explains "The mobile network growth here has been remarkable, with some 80 million new subscribers coming online every year for the past decade."
Mr. Graylin adds, "In the past 15 years, China has been mostly looking to the West for sources of new internet and mobile ideas, but going forward, China will be the originator of true ground breaking innovation in the mobile arena."
