Mark Zuckerberg Is to China As Paris Hilton Is to Japan

Mark Zuckerberg has apparently acquired some starstruck stalkers during his current trip to China. The Facebook CEO, who would like his social network to get past China’s Great Firewall, was followed by employees of Sina, a rising tech company. Employees snapped pictures of Time’s Person of the Year and distributed them on Weibo, a microblogging platform with 50 million users that sounds like China’s answer to Tumblr. We imagine the captions go something like, “I touched his hoodie and pitched him a start-up!!! My life is complete.” Shanghaist via Valleywag]
