Profile Pics on Twitter and Chinese Micro-blog Zuosa
On the right are 50 user profile pics that I random downloaded from Twitter and on the left are 50 random user profile pics from Zuosa. Zuosa is a Chinese-language micro-blogging website like Twitter.
Can you see any differences in online culture between Chinese and English users from this pic alone?

I can see, the Chinese dont like use their really pics a lot, they like cartoon or pets`s photos instead.
Interesting, i never notice that before.
The reason is that most Chinese people have an sense to protect them private info online
I would like to be anonymous.
That's right. People in China are care of their privacy. They believe that showing their pics on web is much unsafe. By the way, my english is too much poor.
Your English is definately understandable, something I can't assume with my Google translation. I've heard about staying discreet in China, and your observation regarding the icons is exceptionally pertinent to proving that point. Fascinating.
