Chinese Xu Jing Lei tops Technorati 100

As more and more Asian (specifically non-English) blogs are added and being indexed by Technorati, we will be seeing more bloggers getting into the A-List which we haven’t heard or read before.

Xu Jing Lei

Just recently, an update by Technorati revealed Chinese celebrity blogger, Xu Jing Lei, is now at the #1 spot with 45,700 links from 28,151 sites displacing longtime contender Boingboing (66,219 links from 20,223 sites). (as reported by Kevin Marks)

According to David Sifry’s latest update on the State of the Blogosphere, the Chinese is tied with the US for the number of blog at 25% each from a total of 37.3Million blogs tracked. Interestingly, the Japanese are the most prolific bloggers comprising 31% of the Technorati population. And they still haven’t accounted for Singaporean and Korean bloggers here, Korea being the most wired country in the world.

Are we going to see Asians dominating the blogosphere in the near future? If only the rest of the world could readily understand what they’re saying/writing.

    I hope this gives rise to the “bridge” blogger (was it Rebecca who spoke about this in iBlog2?). Automated translation services still don’t perform as well as human interpreters.

    Perhaps there are Pinoys who are fluent in both Putonghua and English? Then again, some copyright issues might crop up.

    The sheer mass of asian population would most certainly be the reason why asian bloggers would dominate the blogosphere. Eventually, translation technology like Google’s should perfectly translate pages into your native language.
