Several items of interest today re China, where a number of regular readers live. I love it when people from China visit this site. Perhaps primarily for the rest of us, here’s some links to interesting news today about China and the web.
- Wikipedia banned from parts of China. Chinese dissident condemns Yahoo for co-operating with Chinese government in repression of online communication. Google Maps political battles continue. All via Search Engine Watch.
- Thomas Friedman of the NYTimes writes about the explosion of podcasting in China.
- “How China is Changing the Internet” Dinah Meta summarizes a presentation by Rebecca MacKinnon. Two very interesting people, those are.
I imagine we’re going to see a lot of very exciting web-related things come out of China. I hope that the Chinese web will help the world become a more just place.
