Latest Talks On the Internet in China
Mary Meeker, analyst at Morgan Stanley and author of the China Internet Report, tells a bullish picture of internet in China to the audience at O'reilley's Web 2.0 conference. Listen to it in mp3 here. Kevin has collected quotes from her presentation. China Digital News points to a Newsweek article that has critical views of Meeker's report.
Kevin reports that his website, one of the most popular blog host in China, now has more than 100,000 users and hosts more than 80 thousand individual blogs while CNblog, the hub for Chinese blogging community, has recorded more than half a million of bloggers.
It is not clear though how many of these blogs are inactive and how many of them are own by the same blogger.
Yahoo's Chief Jerry Yang said that "by being there [in China] and providing infrastructure that they are going to have a positive influence. He says that is what he is investing in, creating a dialogue now."
John of Sinosplice noted that "a lot of the blogs I used to read are dead or dying. I think it's at least partly attributable to problems accessing Blogger in the PRC." He wonders: "How many other bloggers in the PRC are having this connectivity issue with Blogger?"
Fons found a new proxy service. It's fast he says. Does this mean the firewall is coming to an end?
