It looks like Twitter could have a serious competitor on the horizon - or maybe not. Sina Weibo, China's own version of Twitter has announced its plans to make its microblogging service available in English within the next two to three months. Sina Weibo, the “Chinese Twitter”, was created in response to Twitter being banned in China and has over 140 million users (Twitter has over 200 million users). Both services are similar, in the sense that they're both microblogging services that are accessible from multiple platforms, however Sina Weibo isn't banned in China due to the fact it practices government-mandated censorship.
