In Taiwan, people who love to spend lots of money are usually called “Bai-Guys or Bui-Girls.”  As the pronunciation is the same as “BUY”; therefore shopping is called “Bai” as well.  Mobile01 is totally such a bai website in every aspect.  There are not only 3C forums for users to have in-depth discussion, but also loads of consuming information to fuel one’s purchasing compulsion.  There are even immoderate users who take the pleasure to persuade others to place their order. 



Soon, it is no surprise that one discovers oneself to buy more and more with higher and higher product quality demanding.  Therefore, Mobile01 has another nickname of “Little Devil,” the devil’s even right on its logo.     

Established in 2003, Mobile01 is by far the largest 3C forum community site.  At the very first beginning, web master, Rui-Sheng, Jiang, just shared his using experiences and pro & con of 3C products analysis with net users out of his personal interests.  

With his professional analysis, this site has eventually developed into a complete info sharing and forum site for 3C product lovers.  And the discussion issues are expanded from 3C to cars and life topics.  As the prevalence of GPS and the hot cycling trends, there are also discussion and info sharing about touring spot, GPS location of gourmet food and cycling routs.  This new trend has made the bai info more diverse and more evil.  The in-depth discussion has become key points for virus marketing.  Mobile01 doesn’t have to sell banners, with sponsorship and good writers to encourage buying; Mobile01 could make a fortune as well.

Hot topics on Mobile01 forum are mainly about cameras, mobile phones, computers and notebooks etc.  The most featured articles are called “UNPACKING ARTICLES.”  Writers would unpack the hot selling products layer by layer and take pictures, even videos of each unpacking step.  They would publish highly detailed introduction for every aspect of the product and ,of course, the expertise level of tryout reports. 
The first purchaser and “UNPACKING” writer could often have a high page view.  Therefore, many people do enjoy to be crowned as the NO.1 user and fulfil their vanity and pride.  

The classic and famous opening of such articles often begins with: “I really don’t know what it is.  I just accidentally found out a bag of garbage and it turned out to be the HOTTEST 3C product ir camera….”  Undoubtedly, it’s just a cliché excuse for the bais to avoid any potential accusation. 

No matter you are girls or boys, young or aged, be aware of this heaven of little devil.  This little devil is determined to spend all your savings and explore your credit card quota!
