"Jiwai.de (the "Chinese Twitter") and the big screen dynamic BBS are hits at this meeting." Via blognationChina, who is doing live conference micro-blogging in Twitter.

This is one of the most interesting and surprising thing I find about the conference. The freewheeling spirit in all these public "back channel" chatters adds so much more fun to the conference.

Update: Messages posted on Day 1 are archived here and Day 2 here.
See also Thomas Crampton's Will China Twitter for more about this twitterish-like phenomena at cnbloggercon and in China.

Anyone who is interested in saying a hello or sending a message to the audience viaat the conference can simply do so by adding wo@jiwai.de in GTalk or msn008@jiwai.de in MSN Messenger and then send an instant message jiwai in the following structure: @cbc +[space]+[your message]

"I wish I was at Chinese BloggerCon," Robert Scoble wrote.

"Next year I want to do a BloggerCon here at the same time and build a video bridge so we could talk about the same issues. Heck, let’s do it."

I like the idea. Yes, let's try to do this next year and we can have more cross-cultural conversations in two continent over the internet.
