Just now, I check out The Top 100 technorati Ranking and found that chinese blogger XU jinglei(老徐 徐静蕾 新浪BLOG) on the top of list. Xu Jing Lei is now number one.

XU is a famous actress and director in China. Her work A Letter from an Unknown Woman (2004) won the Spanish international movie award.This movie is the adaptation of Stefan Zweig’s story “Letter from an unknown woman” to China settling in a time period before the cultural revolution (1930-1948).

The director (Xu Jinglei) who is also the main actress of the movie has created a very nice visual atmosphere to reflect a heartbreaking one-sided love story.

She is very popular in China. In 2005, Xu began to write weblog in www.sina.com.cn. And her weblog got more than 10,000,000 hits in very short time. Her audience think she is pretty, healthy and genial, just like a “neighbor gir”l.

Xu was born on April 16th, 1974.Single.

After various sources pointed out that Technorati was seriously undercounting Chinese-language blogs (among other non-English pages), the blog indexing service quickly took action to make sure that China's most popular blog, written by celebrity Xu Jinglei, was included.

Xu Jinglei's blog now tops the list, outpacing even BoingBoing.

This is a serious undercount, says tech blogger Keso. Xu Jinglei's blog is hosted on Sina, whose system draws no connection between a blog's front page and the individual comment pages below it. Front pages are of the form http://blog.sina.com.cn/m/xujinglei, while pages are indexed as http://blog.sina.com.cn/u/46f37fb501000317. Keso says:

   We say that the central concept of Web 2.0 is the centrality of the user. A blog is an individual's online identity; it's neither an independent domain name nor an independent URL. But when Sina's blog developers planned its system, they thought not of the users but rather of what was convenient for development. For example, I can search for all returning links to my blog, which includes not only my home page but any individual post as well. But for Sina blogs, you can only search for links to your blog's home page.

   What I want to say is that even if Xu Jinglei's blog has claimed the top spot on the Technorati 100, compared with the leading advantages of Boing Boing, it in fact should be much, much higher than Technorati's figures. The vast majority of actual links have been swallowed by Sina's selfish blog system – these links all point to the non-existent blog blog.sina.com.cn/u, or to Sina's blog home page.

So Technorati's figure of 28,151 sites and 45,700 links to Xu's blog are to her front page alone.
