Wretch (website)
Wretch (Chinese: 無名小站; pinyin: wúmíng xiǎo zhàn) is a Taiwanese community web site; in Chinese, its name means Nameless Little Site. It is the most well-known blog community in Taiwan with thousands of users registered. Wretch provides free album, and blog hosting services. Four languages, including English, are available. A more extensive VIP version is offered. It is the top visited site in Traditional Chinese languages and the second in Taiwan after Yahoo! Taiwan according to Alexa.
The domain wretch.cc attracted at least 4 million visitors annually by 2008 according to a Compete.com survey.
In July 2007, Yahoo! acquired Wretch; this became the biggest acquisition of Yahoo in Taiwan since Kimo, which was the major stepping stone to Yahoo's success in Taiwan's market. Shortly after the transaction, an angry wave of users have reacted in complaints to the changes in terms of conditions.
Wretch.cc has been blocked by the internet censorship in the People's Republic of China since August 2007.

Famous quotes containing the word wretch:
“When an old Woman begins to doat [sic], and grow chargeable to a Parish, she is generally turned into a Witch, and fills the whole Country with extravagant Fancies, imaginary Distempers, and terrifying Dreams. In the mean time, the poor Wretch that is the innocent Occasion of so many Evils begins to be frighted at her self, and sometimes confesses secret Commerces and Familiarities that her Imagination forms in a delirious old Age.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
