Blog consolidation continuing?

Just a view days ago, I brought the news to you that SixApart is buying Livejournal. At that time, I suggested that this could be the beginning of a consolidation wave across the blogger industry.

Now, another acquisition is taking place but this time not in the US. Interfax reports that BlogChina.com, the largest blog portal in China, has acquired the country's third largest blogging service provider Blogdriver.com.

"Blogdriver's current blog system is able to host a total of 1 mln users. Furthermore, its upcoming Java-based 2.0 version will be able double capacity to 2 mln. BlogChina's current PHP-based system can support just 500,000 users."

Well clearly, it is the surging popularity of blogs that drives this acquisition.
