Aza's Thoughts on China’s Web Users
"The ineffable Mike Beltzner made roughly the same pilgrimage a month or two ago. A large portion of browsing in China seems to take the form of “slouch browsing”: one hand on the mouse, other hand dangling, slouched back in the chair. It’s a mouse driven world. Mike put it well, so I’m just going to quote him:
“Even the posture of the average Chinese internet user is different. In North America, people no longer ’surf’, but sit engaged with their computers, interacting with the internet & pages, typing, searching, creating. In China, users usually ‘urf’ one-handed. Sitting back, clicking, watching, hopping through a web of links, not searching or navigating on their own. It’s a bizarre difference.
I was told again and again (and certainly observed) that search is not as frequently used in the western world. It’s subservient to the browsing our software is named after."
