BlogCN
open-in-new
<p>BlogCN was the first free <a href="/facts/Blog_hosting_service/bb6awu2X">blog hosting service</a> provider in <a href="/facts/China/lTjIXY5p">China</a>. It was established in November 2002. Based in the eastern city of <a href="/facts/Hangzhou/wXb5auh7">Hangzhou</a>, BlogCN has built the world's largest Chinese <a href="/facts/Blog/bb6awu2X">blog</a> community, blog hosting service, and blog <a href="/facts/Search_engine/SRntsbz2">search engine</a>. The Internet portal offers free blog space, but began to charge for value-added services, including <a href="/facts/Mobile_phone_features/zL8nH56L">mobile phone features</a>, in 2005. BlogCN simultaneously introduced a virtual coin system to purchase such services. The total value of BlogCN was estimated at US$10,000,000. 70-80% of its revenue comes from advertising. The website was supported by Web 2.0 software. </p>
