The site, in 2006
A Chinese-language online encyclopedia in the style of Wikipedia, owned by Baidu and written by registered users.
By 2025 it claimed more than 30 million entries, the most of any Chinese-language online encyclopedia. When a Baidu search matches an entry, its link is put at or near the top.
In 2006: Released around 20 April, and within 20 days it had more than 300,000 registered users and over 100,000 articles.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
