相比推特,现在更多的人在使用新浪微博--中国的微型博客平台。
There are now more people using Sina Weibo, the Chinese micro-blogging platform, than there are using Twitter.
根据中国这家公司今年第一季度的统计结果显示,微博每月有三亿四千万的活跃用户,相比去年涨了30%。
According to the Chinese company's first quarter results, it has 340 million active monthly users, 30% up on the previous year.
约一亿五千四百万人每天都用微博,其中91%的人是通过手机在使用它。
About 154 million people use the site daily, 91% of whom access it via mobile.
相比之下,推特这个在中国禁用的平台,每月的活跃用户为三亿两千八百万。
By comparison, Twitter, which is blocked in China, has around 328 million active monthly users.
微博CEO王高飞在一则声明中称,“我们为建立最好的中国社交网络体验的不懈努力,在微博的强大影响中得到体现。”
"Our relentless focus to build the best social media experience in China is reflected in Weibo's strong performance", Gaofei Wang, Weibo chief executive, said in a statement.
“展望未来,我们的势头将会持续,我们会加强优化微博的分享、发现、消费信息的能力,特别是在手机、社交和视频环境下。”
"Looking ahead, we continue to see strong momentum, as we further optimise Weibo to share, discover and consume information, especially for the mobile, social and video environment."
新浪微博是中国最为流行的微型博客服务平台,它也是被中国大陆多数报纸和电视台所推崇的平台,那些报纸和电视台在微博上都有数百万的粉丝。
Sina Weibo is the most popular of China's micro-blogging services, and it is the preferred platform for most mainland Chinese newspapers and TV stations, which have millions of followers.
去年,在意识到直播已经变得多么流行后,新浪微博也推出了自己的直播软件--一直播,简称“Yi”。
Last year, seeing how popular live streaming video was becoming, Sina Weibo launched its own live streaming app, Yizhibo, nicknamed "Yi".
