hi龟龟是一个专属于海外华人的生活社区,在这里,华人可以便捷地找到在当地的其ta华人,分享海外生活的开心与不开心,同为华人,才能感同身受。 有别于传统社区APP的纯粹交友属性,hi龟龟更是一个生活服务平台,通过算法将大量华人用户的帖子进行了强分类,分出“找工作”,“闲置交换”,“约会交友”等高频需求集合,并开放搜索,让海外华人可以便捷地从海量华人帖中找到所需要的生活信息,类似于海外版的68同城,填补华人市场的空白。 由于华人与祖国的强文化纽带,虽然身处海外,还会继续使用国内的音视频APP追剧听歌,因此他/她们的生活中还需要回国网络加速服务。鉴于此,hi龟龟作为一个全面的华人生活平台,力求提供一站式服务,也专为海外华人内置了一款免费的回国加速器,可以一键加速国内主流音视频应用。 相较于其它加速器,hi龟龟的优点: 完全免费,智能加速,让海外华人在进行回国加速时,不影响国外网站的正常使用。 hi龟龟的愿景就是成为海外华人的一站式生活服务平台,服务海外华人的方方面面,为漂泊在海外的同胞打 call.
