Not sure if we have many webmasters here from China, but if so, this news might be of interest to you.

The domain blogsearch.google.cn was available for quite some time now, but it didn’t display any service so far. Some minutes ago, it changed to a (mostly) working homepage, meaning Google China now has a blog search engine among its array of sites.

I guess it took a while for them to write the censor filters before they could launch it.

In fact, you'll be surprise that there are tonnes of webmasters from China (though I am not there myself).

Consider the population of China, 1 billion for instance, and maybe 1% of them are webmasters... let's calculate, you would probably still just about 1 million webmasters.

And probably consider only 1% of them are professional webmasters, that still rounds up to about a thousand. Not many considered the world's population, but probably large enough if 1% of the billion population use the facility.
