<a href="http://www.technorati.com/">Blog search site Technorati</a> is currently tracking some 56.3 million blogs worldwide, so China’s bloggers represent almost a third of that total, and the numbers are growing rapidly. Chinese-language blogs make up some seven per cent of Technorati's most popular blogs. Around half of that 17 million are described as ‘active’ by the CNNIC; active blogs being those that are updated at least once a month. This figure is expected to reach 10 million by the end of 2006. As the figures show, blogs have become very popular in China within a short space of time, with the number of bloggers increasing at a rate that is three times faster than the rise in internet users. There are 30 times more bloggers in China this year than there were in 2002. The <a href="http://www.cnnic.net.cn/en/index/index.htm">China Network Information Centre</a> is a non-profit organisation set up in 1997 by the Chinese government.
