Blogging activity

There seems to a new level of activity blogging activity amongst the foreign community in China. Today I came across the Hao Hao Report. This takes a Digg approach to generating and ranking China-related content. I think it works really well. After just a few minutes there I found all sorts of  intersting links I never knew about.

I also re-found a site I hadn’t visited for some time - Richard Erikson’s Watching China. I must say I don’t much like the overwhelming color scheme, but he has some great content and it’s worth visiting.

  The key point about these sites is how they encourage linking into a broader network of China related stuff. Good.

If you have any other good links - including your own blogs - why not post them here and we’ll have a look.

    Just promise the color scheme won’t head that way at Chinesepod. But it does seemlike a good site. It had some useful links to sites for Shanghainese, and some other interesting articles. I’m going to keep my eye on it.

    If you’re interested in keeping up with all the latest china news and opinion, then take a look a look at http://virtualreview.org/china

    I started it as something for me to use, being a bit of an information junkie! Hopefully, others will also find it useful.

    I’ve started to blog about my experiences with learning Chinese, mostly it’s my pitch that it’s probably better than going to classes. http://www.aurbo.com/chinese

    Hi,

    You might also want to check out a new project called Chinalyst setup on http://www.chinalyst.net .

    I believe it’s a great blend of features both Hao Hao and Watching China with some small extras.
