Wang Xing might become the Mark Zuckerberg of China. His first Web site, Xiaonei.com, which started in 2005, has the same design as Facebook and became the most popular social network for Chinese college students. Xiaonei, which literally translates to "on campus," was so successful that Wang sold the site to Oak Pacific Interactive less than a year later. Wang now manages two new sites: Hainei.com, a social network for working adults, and Fanfou.com, a microblogging service for people to stay connected through the exchange of text and photos via the Web, instant message, or mobile phone. Wang graduated from Tsinghua University in Beijing with a bachelor's degree in electronic engineering and from the University of Delaware with a master's in computer engineering.
