XIHA  which means fun or happy in Mandarin Chinese is the world’s first multilingual social network. The users base at XIHA Life consists of students, travelers and people who are looking to learn new language from the native speakers and makes it easier for sharing thoughts, ideas in an easy and efficient manner. How? Well the network provides users a platform where they can communicate with each other utilizing it for language recognition, filtering and real time translation methodologies. It’s like simple chat, where users can read and write content in multiple languages and no doubt the social network has had massive following across 200 countries with users speaking more than 50 languages. Those are great numbers and the addition of the multilingual chat room, where you can chat in your own language just like the rest of the people involved however all the content you read is translated into your native language using Google translate and provides subtitling to each sentence written, something that  would greatly help  foreign language students. Plus it has real time search, which is pretty useful for users to find the place where something of their interest is being discussed.

The use of collaborative social networking is at an all time high, we have seen it with WreckAMovie, RunToShop and many others during the MindTrek 2009. All this would definitely help the online community to grow and bridge the gap that so widely divides cultures of the world just because off the language barriers. I won’t be mistaken if I were to say that the Internet is playing the biggest part in globalization that everyone else has been trying for decades now and oh yes, very peacefully, XIHA is just one example.
