Leiden Weibo Corpus

Welcome to the home page of the Leiden Weibo Corpus, which consists of 5,103,566 messages posted on Sina Weibo in January 2012.

Sina Weibo is China's most popular microblogging service, and its 300 million users post 100+ million messages a day. This corpus was designed to make it easier to explore the wealth of data these users generate. If you're interested, you can read about how the corpus was built, see which words are most frequently used on Sina Weibo, look at a few random messages or a map representation of our data - but you can also go right ahead and use the search functionality below to start exploring.
