5 Facebook Features that Cannot Be Done in WeChat

Regular users of Facebook find it fascinating to use WeChat.  The 5 common Facebook features are simply not available on WeChat.  Note that other than this, WeChat has at least 28 features that Facebook does not have.  The 5 FB features that cannot be done in WeChat are:

 1.  Hastag #
In Facebook, you can simply hastag a topic so that this topic can be easily searched by people. But there is no such hastag on WeChat

 This is because WeChat uses a very powerful search engine where you can search for key words without the need for a hastag.  Go to your 'Discover' page and select 'Search'.

 2. Tag people
You can tag someone on in your Facebook's posts so that such posts will appear on their timeline. There is no such feature on WeChst.  As such, your 'My Posts' on WeChat is cleaner as no one can put something not posted by you on your timeline

 In WeChat, you can simply mention your friends by using '@' in your Moments posts and they will receive this as a message to remind them to read your Moments post

 3. Edit Posts
You can edit your posts on Facebook anytime but not on WeChat's Moments.  You have to delete and re-post that Moments post.  In this way, WeChat imposes more discipline on its users as they have to think before they post. Note that your WeChat users can simply report to the company if they find your posts not appropriate for them, like politics or sex.

 4. Photos and Videos
In Facebook, you can post a combination of photos and videos but not on WeChat. You can only post videos of up to 10 seconds or up to 9 photos but not both on one single Moments post

 5. Friends of Friends Can See What You Post on Facebook but not on WeChat.  Only your friends can see your Moments posts.  A stranger (i.e someone not your WeChat friend) can only read up to 10 photos of your Moments posts

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...
