Question

Are you “Weibo Addicts” ? You may spend too much time on Webo if you are a “Weibo Addict”.Do you write a Weibo ? If you don’t , you are “ out ”!

Weibo means microblog . People may spend much time writing a blog , but it takes a little time to write a microblog. Why ? Because every message on a microblog is less than 140 words .

Microblog started in the USA. It came to China in 2009 and it grows very fast. In 2011, the number of Chinese micro-bloggers grew to 300 million. People write microblogs for many reasons . For many microblog users , it is a great way of learning the freshest news, talking with friends and sharing different kinds of information , including news, everyday life, pictures, music, videos and so on .

It is easy and fast to send a message on a microblog . However, this can also bring some problems . For example, when the big earthquake and tsunami (海嘯) hit Japan in March, 2011, messages like “Salt can help people fight radiation (輻射)” were hot on microblogs. Then a crazy buying of salt followed. Later people knew it was just a rumor (謠言).

In a word , microblog plays a new part in the life of Chinese people.
