The number of blog sites in China reached 34 million last month, a 30-fold
increase from four years ago, State media said yesterday.
China has more
than 17 million people writing blogs (short for Web logs) and more than 75
million people reading them, Xinhua news agency said. "The rapid growth of blog
sites in China also brought potential business opportunities to the advertising
industry," Xinhua said. "Some blogs written by famous people attract millions of
daily readers." The report said that out of the 34 million blog sites, 70
percent are "dormant," having remained unchanged for more than a
month. (For more biz stories, please visit Industry Updates)
