Microblog insights

Topic 1: After Google Inc announced its plan to buy Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc with $12.5 billion, Peter Chou, chief executive officer of HTC Corp, Asia's second-biggest maker of smartphones, said that it will stick with Google Inc's mobile software despite the software giant's planned acquisition of its rival, and will continue to seek acquisitions to grow.

METALMAN007: I remain doubtful about this.

QINGFENGYUERAN: HTC produces smartphones running on Windows Phone 7 system and Android system, not just the latter. Moreover, HTC always sticks to the products that make great profits in the market, so it will not be constrained to one choice. By the way, Android group will suffer a lot without HTC.

HONGDOUSHA: HTC will have its own advantage so long as its products have features.

XINYANSHANYEHUA-RZHANG66: HTC has no other choices except Android system.

Topic 2: Lu Xingyu, executive chairwoman of the China-Africa Project Hope, an international charitable schooling project involving at least 1.5 billion yuan ($235 million), has recently been the focus of public questions about whether she is qualified to manage that large sum of money at the age of 24.

ILOVEMYHOUSE: After the charity scandal raised by Guo Meimei was made public, which is not a bad thing, I decided not to donate money or blood to the Red Cross Society of China anymore.

GEXIMEIDUO: The whole society has become too sensitive now. I suggest people should give Lu tolerance and understanding before findings of the investigation into her and the charity organization she is in charge of come out.

FENDOUSHUO: I think we should not just donate money blindly; instead, we should go to the location that is in desperate need of our help.
