THE number of social networking service website users jumped 34 percent in 2010 from a year earlier, and they made up more than half of the web users in China, an industry report has said.
There were 235 million SNS website users in China at the end of last year, said a report by Knet, a Chinese Internet service provider. About 150 million of the registered users were active.
Data compiled by the China Internet Network Information Center showed there were 457 million web users in China at the end of last year. Of them, 51.4 percent used SNS sites, 5.6 percentage points higher than 2009, according to Knet.
Of the SNS users, 16.1 percent had a bachelor's degree or above and 38.3 percent were high school graduates.
"The social networking service websites are getting more popular among people with lower education degrees, compared with 2009," the report said.
More than one-fifth of SNS website users, especially those between 10 to 19 years old, used microblog, or Weibo, a twitter-like service in China, according to the report. Nearly half of Weibo users were students.
