Blogdimension Blog

Great moment for Blogdimension.com, the Web 2.0 Search Engine! We are proud to announce the launch of Blogdimension.com in Chinese.

It is not conceivable to ignore such a great language and civilization even for a search company. Today Chinese (Mandarin) is among the most spoken languages in the World. Tomorrow it will be the first language of Internet.

So, after English, French and Spanish versions, Blogdimension releases now the Chinese version of its search engine oriented primarily on Web 2.0, RSS and multimedia content.

Chinese users can now find blogs, forums, news feeds, images, audio & podcast and of course online videos like “6.cn” in Chinese.

All this was possible thanks to Gao and Suying whose knowledge of the Chinese languages, culture and Web 2.0 context were crucial for this project.

Why a Chinese version for Blogdimension ?

China has its own search systems like Baidu, Bookee, Zhuaxia, Qikoo, Booso, etc. which are excellent, effective and adapted tools for Chinese users.

Blogdimension’s aim, we insist on it, is not to appear as competitors to the Chinese search systems. In the contrary, Blogdimension is a complementary and additional tool not only for the Chinese users living in mainland China but for all Chinese speaking people included non-Chinese people learning the language.

It means that Blogdimension’s Chinese version brings also value to the Chinese speaking users living overseas in South Eastern Asia, the United States, Europe and any other part where Chinese communities are present and active.

We believe Blogdimension being an international initiative it gives Chinese users the capacity to form a huge lingusitic community (metacommunity) all over the world by gathering in a single entry point all kind of Web 2.0, multimedia and blogospheric content written or published in the Chinese language. It helps the Chinese - be they from inside or outside China - to find information in their language, share viewpoints or cultural codes and stay interconnected independently from any geographic limit. We think language is as important as geography. China is often dubbed as “Middle Country” or “Middle Kingdom” in history books. We would be happy that thanks to Blogdimension China could be dubbed also as the “Extended Country”.

Blogdimension delivers no political messages. It is aimed only at facilitating the access to the Web 2.0 content existing in the various languages it operates.

Blogdimension’s goal is definitely to bring Web 2.0 and blogosphere content to a maximum of people all around the world, whatever country they live, in their language. There are no small languages in our conception. Every language in the world is as important as English, Spanish or French, especially in a world that tends to be more and more multilateral.

So we ask the Chinese users to be patient because our index of Chinese links is not as big as it deserves to be and in regard of the Chinese influence in the world. It will take some time before our Chinese index builds up! So if you are a Chinese speaking user and you don’t find a source in Blogdimension, please just submit it! And be confident.

Dear Chinese users, thanks for your support and contribution.
