介绍:
On the Popularity of Weibo [00:11.29]Writing miniblog, adding celebrities as friends and having followers or fans [00:18.58]do not just sound tempting. [00:20.71]In fact, Weibo, or microblog, [00:23.84]has become the most popular social networking tool in China. [00:27.85]Why does Weibo become such a fashion recently? [00:32.09]The major reasons are listed as follows. [00:35.29]To start with, in the fast-paced modern society, more often than not, [00:41.31]people do not have time to write a long and thorough article on their blog. [00:46.12]Therefore, Weibo, which allows 140 words at maximum, is readily accepted. [00:53.46]Secondly, Weibo is a fast way to know changes in the world. [00:58.98]The information on Weibo updates fast, [01:02.47]because every user can contribute to it by posting, [01:06.33]forwarding and commenting on the latest news. [01:09.83]In my opinion, college students should make good use of Weibo [01:14.69]to learn new ideas and communicate with people from all walks of life. [01:19.60]However, they should not indulge in it.
