Since the birth of twitter, the whole world, revealed in a microblogging hot.2009years later, China’s microblog also experienced a period of rapid development. Microblog, expand the new channels for public participation in public affairs, but can not build the real public domain. Based on the three dimensions under the theoretical framework of public domain of darlhagen and With comparing of habermas’s public sphere features, we find that the building of public sphere is unreal and technical. Overly optimistic about microblogging public field, we hard to avoid falling into the trap of electronic utopia.Viewed from the social structures point, Under the background of economic and political of china, we found that microblogging is still under strict control of authority and self-censorship. Moreover, microblogging is difficult to get rid of the pursuit of business capital, and then the boundaries between public interests and personal benefit are mixed up.Viewed from the representation point, this article mainly discuss the gap between the ideal public sphere and microblogging from the angle of discourse power and diversified public investigation. Firstly, the users of microblog can’t on behalf of the public. Secondly, the number of the users and activity are declined at the same time, microblogging is more difficult to realize the universality of public participation in the public domain; Finally, the microblogging public opinion departured from the meaning of equal consultation and the participation of public.Viewed from the interaction point, because of anonymous and lack of self-supervised, polarization is severe among users of microblogging when they express their views and emotions.Thus, the public sphere of microblogging is illusory and unreal In short, microblogging still has a long way to go to be one of "public sphere"...
