QQ is the only choice to communicate with friends for most Chinese. And now, it’s a cash cow for Tencent Inc. They control everything, ask your money all the time. Some money for service is reasonable, but they even demand your money when you want more privacy. For an example, when you want to remove which blog you have visited, you must become their paid user.

How to build another simple, strong, easy to control by user himself/herself, no money-accquired function and cheap system to give another choice? As my imagine,

1st, Openness. Everyone can build new function for himself and who likes the function. Users build the system by themselves.
2nd, Users make decision. Everything is controlled by the users community. Even if whether the project should continue or stop.
3rd, No business goal. The main system may supported by users’ denotation.
4th, Distributed and reliable. Maybe it would like tor, eMule? Most computation is executed on the volunteers’ machine. The center server may serve a index.
5th, Secured and spam-free.

To build that system, the road map may like below:

1st, a few architects build the start-up system and open it to more developers.
2nd, many volunteers compose of a support community, and it broadcast by itself.

It must be the source that everything is controlled by users, made by users.
