Wretch (Chinese: 無名小站) is a Taiwanese community web site; in Chinese, its name means Anonymous Lil' Site or Nameless Lil' Station. It is the most famous blog community in Taiwan with thousands of users registered now. Wretch provides free album, blog, and bbs 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.1
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. The outrage included, but not limited to complying with international Yahoo standards, having to share usernames of limited availability and security holes. This later evolved into a mass exodus movement to leave Wretch towards other free blogs such as Roodo, Blogspot, Pixnet.
