Blogosphere a new spiritual home for urban youths
www.chinanews.cn 2005-03-04 13:18:58
Chinanews, Mar. 3 (By Li Jingyu) - Quietly, from office to office,
community to community, and by word of mouth, blogging has spread to
China's urban youth.
Nowadays, it is not uncommon to hear young city-dwellers greet each other
with the questions: Are you a Blogger? and What did you Blog today? The
blogosphere is a new spiritual home for urban youth. It is a private
teahouse where they can chat with and learn from their peers.
In December of 2002, Blogging made its low-key enterance into China.
According to conservative estimates, the number of bloggers in China
exceeded 1 million by the end of 2004. Blogging has become a rapidly
spreading underground fad. Even some fast deteriorating Bulletin Board
System (BBS) have hastily added simple Blog functions.
Bloggers can decide what content is public and what remains private
through a simple setting, permitting open communication with friends and
the security to keep a personal diary. According to Wang Junxiu,
President of Blog China, Blogs are the combination of a public BBS and a
private website.
