Showself (秀色娱乐) is a live streaming video entertainment social platform in China that is growing rapidly.[1] Broadcasters setup real-time streaming video channels for self-expression of interests such as singing, disc jockeying, live talk shows, dating, games, education and others. It is available through web browser and the App Store for iPhone,[2] iPad[3] and Google Play for Android.[4] Showself also works with mobile gaming companies, modeling and casting agencies, TV stations, advertising agencies, media groups, and online video websites to create both online and offline[5] events in order to engage users and promote virtual goods. Showself was launched by Shanghai Beijing Showself Technology Co., Ltd in March 2010 and NQ Mobile took a controlling stake in 2014. Tongfang Investment Fund Series SPC, an affiliate of Tsinghua Tongfang acquired Showself from NQ Mobile in December 2017.[6]
