The official version is still in internal testing, I've already applied for it, looking forward to using it!

Original English version, just a rough translation:

"planbus! Is a network platform that allows you and your friends to interact. Here, you can showcase your original content from QQ Space, Sina Blog, Sohu Blog, Blog China, Fanfou, Jiwai, Youku Video, Tudou, 6 Rooms, MSN Space, Facebook and other websites to your friends. It lets you keep track of your friends' activities at all times. What have they been doing recently? What topics are they following.. etc.

Planbus! Can also generate a trend chart based on the synchronized service content of each individual, making it easy for you to see at a glance which website a particular user has been most active on recently!"

The technology is based on analyzing the structure of webpage contents using our auto-filtering parser bot. When a user submits a URL, the bot will automatically parse the document and extract repeating contents from that page. These contents are marked as 'valuable' by our system and provided to the user for confirmation. Each confirmed result will generate a pulse event and be ready for our system to check for future updates of the specific URL.

Our current work can successfully parse nearly 70% of all internet webpages. We're still working to improve our parser bot.

Planbus will serve Chinese internet users and aggregate most Web 2.0 websites. It will help users check when a website has new content updated and then push it to the user's pulse page, shared with the contact list or in-site friends.
