Weibo now linkifies .公司 .网络 .中国 IDNs :)

But .... They do not work with all browsers :(

I have had a look at the http headers and weibo's link service is returning the unicode form instead of the punycode form.

I have tested weibo idn links on OS X with safari, firefox and chrome. Only chrome works.

If you would like to test with your browser OS combination http://t.cn/RUrikk7 is the weibo link service link which (in chrome) resolves to a working http://宿迁物流.公司

If you are a weibo user you can find my test postings on http://weibo.com/andreschappo

Strangely, weibo does not linkify .中國 idns which is the traditional chinese form of .中国
