I demand proof
There’s been proof since ancient times.

Enjoy the weekend.

Time to produce my own product.

Sure, when I hear comments from Mr Goldkorn on the BBC World Service, I’m getting the impression that the venerable institution is outsourcing to blogs, which isn’t good for them. The right thing to maintain authority as a broadcaster is to have your regional correspondents do their own research.
(That said, the Beeb is still above Germany’s foreign broadcasting station, and probably any foreign broadcasting station around the globe.)

As for Chinasmack, there isn’t that one blog or website which says it all. That’s the good thing about feedreaders. I wouldn’t be aware of gems like this ad in the NYT without Chinasmack, for example. But they should switch those stupid mouseover translations off and rather add the Chinese originals in extra paragraphs.

To remove the commenter section like Rectified Name did is legitimate, but it makes a site less attractive for people like me, too.

Victor Shih is explicitly counted as a tweeter, and in that capacity, he’s quite active.

And yes, pictures like this one about metal-cutting in Shenzhen make Isidor’s Fugue special.

Foarp, you sure know how to make friends and influence people. That stupid comment bears testimony to that.

Surely, the Chinasmack model has reached its use by date….sort of see it being replaced by Beijing Cream. Danwei identifies Victor Shih who has not posted for almost two years, even if he is a texting fiend on twitter.

Re reporters. John Garnaut should be up there in lights.

Re Jeremiah Jenne. No one should seriously consider a site which deletes the comment button. Equally, anybody who trumpets their p/g research before being awarded the actual qualification is a horses a…..

Must admit to a fondness for Brian Glucrofts photos….Isidorsfugue

That aside, CONGRATULATIONS JR.

Never seen you both in the same room at the same time, so let’s just say I’m keeping an open mind . . .
