CSDN wants to index Chinese blogosphere

CSDN tagThe actual title should be CSDN reorganized platform around Tag or tag your blog with CSDN tag. But I bet the above one attracts more clicks.

As the help page says, there’re two ways to get your content indexted by CSDN, if you don’t host your contect on CSDN or its partners. 1) You can ping CSDN by trackback. 2) Mannually submit your RSS or URL. Not sure how the second method works. Maybe they just take your category information.

CSDN tag pageUser can do tag search, subscribe to specific tags, and discover what’s hot by browsing popular tags. Articlle has a landing page with title, link and abstract. This landing page is unnecessary really. What I want in the search result is the original URL and go to there with one click.

Taking the web2.0 tag as an example, the aggregated page includes results from CSDN blog service, 365Key (a Donews service), CSDN job, Dearbook, News and forum. This is a new way to organize content around tag, mostly CSDN’s own content. Although CSDN trys to make this an open platform, but currently all the search result are from CSDN itself. You can look the newest tag list, all CSDN stuffs.

This is the first blog post in Chinese blogosphere including CSDN tag. Not sure when they started testing this service. But apparently not widely addopted yet.
