China’s largest search engine Baidu reports that its new microblogging service has grabbed more than 1 million users. The service incorporates Twitter-like features, but is being built to become a fully fledged social networking platform. It requires all users to identify themselves with their real names. The real-name system was the company’s own choice and not enforced by the Chinese government, spokesman Kaiser Kuo says. China has more than 75 million microblog users, according to research firm Analysys International.”]
