Microbloggers happy

CHINESE microbloggers are reveling in yesterday's launch of Sina Corp's new domain name "weibo.com" as China's largest Internet portal aims to attract more users by giving its blog site another name.

Sina's microblog, or China's equivalent to Twitter, with more than 100 million users currently, launched the pinyin domain name with a new logo, a scarf, which in Chinese is also pronounced as "weibo."

Currently, "weibo.com" and "t.sina.com.cn" use the same platform and are identical in content. Sina started its microblog service in August 2009.
