Many thanks to the 383 people who signed my pledge to aid China's earthquake victims. While we didn't make my artificial and ambitious goal of 500 people by May 20th, I will give more money anyway, and I hope many other people will keep on giving. Thanks to all who spread the world and Oliver Ding who even made a slideshow.

On Monday, May 12, at 2.28 p.m. Beijing time (6:28 GMT), a major earthquake measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale jolted southwestern China's Sichuan Province. It shook the skyscrapers in downtown Shanghai, hundreds of miles away; the shocks were felt as far away as Thailand and Vietnam. The earthquake has rendered over 5 million homeless and a confirmed death toll of over 40,000, a number that is expected to rise dramatically as rescue teams continue to reach the most affected areas (Source: Associated Press). In cities near the earthquake's epicenter, thousands are buried under the rubble of collapsed buildings. We encourage you to support emergency relief efforts by donating to either of these organizations.

Jeremiah: Paul Denlinger of Beijing is an internet expert on China, and I’ve offered him the opportunity to help share from an insiders perspective. Keeping in the theme of internet strategy and how the web impacts business, (and in this case the world) Paul, a resident of China, shares his perspective. Although a long post, please show him the same respect that you do for me.

今天，风雨中的纽约街头，我遇见了一位令人肃然起敬的78岁的老人 － 伍语生老先生。 恕我孤陋寡闻，在遇见他之前，我并不知道纽约有这样一位知名爱国学者 － 纽约南开校友会会长伍语生。 当我第一眼看见站立在街头，风雨中拄着拐杖，手提募捐箱的这位老人时，我震惊了！ 我知道这是一位不寻常的老人。 当我第一次听着他用已经极度沙哑的英语和国语向每一位经过身边的路上行人介绍四川灾情，请求为救灾捐款时，我的眼睛湿润了； 当我第一次握着老先生冰凉因而有些颤抖的手.... 今天，我再次落泪...... 恕我笔拙，我无法用更恰当，更生动的语言来描述当时我内心的感动，和心灵的震撼:L 看看这些照片吧，能不感动吗？

One of our Chinese users, Oliver Ding has uploaded this slideshow , which is a call for people to help out the victims of the tragic earthquake that rocked central China’s Wenchuan County on the 12th of May, leaving behind thousands of dead. We deeply mourn the tragedy and would request our users to do their little bit in this regard. Please head over to these two sites - PledgeBank & CnReviews.com to learn how you could help out in contributing. We also request everyone to join the China EarthQuake Group that Oliver has created. We have featured his pledge as the Slideshow of the Day.
