In January 2008, we opened the development platform on Sohu Blogs to all third-party developers through “open widget”, through which developers could rapidly develop and distribute their widgets to massive Sohu bloggers on Sohu’s platform. Sohu bloggers can choose any of such widgets and apply them to their blogs according to their own preference. Our continuous enhancements to upgrade Sohu Blogs to build up a community-based personal space have been well received by our users, especially by the young consuming generation, and we believe more and more bloggers are converting their Sohu blogs into their personalized portal or space.
