Thus, followers will receive a daily piece of viral content circling the web directly on their smartphones. They can chat with BuzzFeed for customized content with special keywords such as cats/dogs/lol/omg/fail/win/wtf, which will be updated on an ongoing basis. Users can also share their favorite BuzzFeed stories on WeChat to friends through chats or Moments.
"As we start to see an increase of readers share content via private messaging, coupled with the rapid growth of mobile, we're looking for new ways to distribute news and entertainment to our thriving international audience," said Scott Lamb, VP of International at BuzzFeed. "WeChat's innovative technology and strong international user base is a natural fit for our first major partnership with an international messaging platform."
BuzzFeed currently has a readership of 175M globally with 50M readers each month outside the US and 50% of traffic from mobile. WeChat, the fastest growing mobile social communications app, has also seen significant growth this past year with a user base of over 468M monthly active users and young demographic who already enjoy BuzzFeed content.
