I wonder why it took Facebook so long to launch in China. With the summer Olympics almost upon us, all nodes of communication will be pointed at and out of China.
Some highlights:
- In a few week's China will be home to 21,600 accredited journalists. Of these, some16,000 will be broadcasters, 5,600 writers and photographers, 200 broadcast groups and 10,000 non-accredited journalists.
- 1 in 1.3 of those online in China use online video, representing 160 million people.
- Instant messaging is hugely popular. One company, QQ Labs has 752.3 million registered users.
In other news, "Chinglish" a hybrid language that some say will emerge, is featured in this month's Wired.
