Renren, of course, is China’s largest social networking platform, with over 120 million users. MSN is perhaps best known here for their instant messaging service, MSN Messenger. Given that, this partnership could be grim news for Tencent QQ, which enjoys a lead in the Chinese instant messaging market but has recently seen a downturn in user activity and is already facing some new and powerful-looking competitors in the IM market. Integrating MSN seamlessly into Renren’s giant user base might give users yet another reason not to bother opening a separate program like QQ. In the last couple of months, we have seen Renren partnering with different corporations to make its social networking service even more exciting for Chinese users. These partnerships include:

・Weddings – a social wedding platform with Recruit of Japan
・Gaming – Integrating Popcap’s Plants vs. Zombies for Renren’s social gamers
・Credit – A “social” credit card, in partnership with China Merchants Bank
