Chinese President's micro blog closed after netizens' swamp

Beijing, Feb 23(ANI): The micro blog of Chinese President Hu Jintao has been closed after it was swamped by over 10,000 fans in just 24 hours despite not a single word being posted.

The website 'people.com.cn' said that many netizens reported it was taking too long to log on to Jintao's page, so the website decided to close the micro blog, The China Daily reports.
