A sizeable 42% of Chinese netizens are posting to microblogs - Twitter.com clones such as Sina Weibo, Tencent Weibo, or the new Baidu Talk which I reviewed last week - during their time online. That contrasts to only 10% of Americans posting to a microblog - well, ...

But that doesn't necessary mean she is the most popular Bollywood celebrity in India. I got curious and did a simple research using Google Trend. Turned out, Priyanka Chopra generates far more searches on Google than Shah Rukh Khan in India. Surprisingly, second place Deepika Padukone who tweeted ...

The RIP Typewriters Buzz
It seemed that a lot of people on Twitter were saying that typewriters would be no longer exist in near future, so, the term "RIP Typewriters" became a trending topic on Twitter a couple of days ago. But is it true? Well, a report from Gawker said that it's not true. We can still see typewriters being used by people, at least in Asia. The buzz about "RIP Typewriters" was started by a news about Godrej and Boyce, a typewriter manufacturer, which shut down its production plant in Mumbai, India, with only ...

Review: Baidu Arrives Fashionably Late to the Twitter/Weibo Party, and wants your Phone Number
Baidu has fully launched its own Twitter-like platform, with its new Baidu Shuoba (说吧 meaning 'Talk') site. But it arrives late to a very crowded microblogging party, where Baidu's main portal rivals, such as Sina, 163.com, and Tencent have already gained some popularity with their own Twitter-esque sites. Baidu Shuoba will need to talk loudly and persuasively if it's to generate excitement amongst Chinese netizens, and urgently needs to entice the right balance of celebrities, corporations and regular users to play along and 'tweet' their 140-character missives. The microblogging craze in China ...

Japanese With Tummy-Aches Tweet for Relief
Ponponpa.in is a wonderfully simple website from Japan that aims to bring relief to anyone suffering from a stomach ache by bringing them together on Twitter. The site’s name, PonponPain, is a clever one. “Pon pon” is sort of kiddie talk for stomach (akin to ‘tummy’). So Twitter users who experience #ponponpain can send out a Tweet with that hashtag. As a result, stomach-ache sufferers from all over Japan are gathered on a single webpage. You’ll never have to suffer alone again! Perhaps if @pepto is looking to bring its stomach relief ...
