Baidu.com, China's most popular search tool, is adding a blogging service. Chinatechnews.com reports that the blogging tool will be called Baidu Space and it will launch on July 13th. Baidu Space already faces considerable competition in China according to Chinatechnews.com.
Though there is not yet a fixed way for creating revenue from blog services in China, search engines and Internet portals have in succession launched their own blog services. Sina, Sohu, BlogCN, Bokee.com, ChinaBlog.net and others are already crowding the market.
Baidu Space makes it sound more like a social networking service than a blogging tool. Maybe it is both.
