Thanks to blognation we hear of an interesting Chinese Blogging Conference opening today. David Feng does a good job of reporting on some of the more animated discussions and personalities in this budding cultural sphere. He writes for starters:
File this under “Meeting of the ‘Bigs’”: The Chinese Blogger Conference opened up today (November 3, 2007) in Beijing, China. To remind us that this is the People’s Republic of China, the “Chairman Mao of the 21st Century” — Chinese pioneer blogger Isaac Mao — called the meeting to order just around 10 AM. Also amongst the “bigs” were Rebecca MacKinnon, Shizhao and Mountain from the Chinese Wikipedia, Jeremy Goldkorn from Danwei, Gang Lu from Netvibes, Pan Haidong from Hoodong Wiki, the people behind yeeyan.com, eeMap and City8.com and Flypig from AntiWave.net, just name a few of the bigwigs in the Chinese Web 2.0 scene.
