  • China: Time to pray Friday, May 16th, 2008 @ 21:42 UTC by John Kennedy
  • ‘Pray for the disaster victims, god bless China' has been the main motif on many main Chinese blogging websites as the country moves past the hundredth hour of mourning, fund-raising and blood donations.
  • The MeMedia collective has being doing in Chinese for total coverage of Earthquake discussions what the crew at Shanghaiist have been doing in English; among all the links MeMedia has been aggregating and sharing publicly on Diigo has been the last blog post from a teacher in Beichuan who didn't survive the earthquake, photos of a school sports activity from May 11.

  • Blogger Oliver Ding has set up a community space on SlideShare for those affected by and working against the damage done by the earthquake, one of the many ways to help the earthquake victims that in turn is being shown support on Digg.
  • Support for relief efforts from English-language bloggers has been equally swift and thorough. Overall support for Red Cross China has been so strong that accessing the Red Cross website for the past several days has been difficult due to the high volumes of traffic it has been receiving. In no particular order, here are just a few of the many blog posts foreign and English-language bloggers in China have given us in just a few hectic days: http://www.ifgogo.com/80/how-to-donate/ http://cnreviews.com/uncategorized/china_earthquake_relief_and_donation_guide_-_will_update_20080514.html http://cupofcha.com/2008/05/16/ways-to-donate-to-earthquake-relief.html http://www.chinavortex.com/2008/05/how-chinese-websites-are-helping-donations-for-sichuan-earthquake-victims/ http://shanghaiist.com/2008/05/13/red_cross_society_earthquake_sichuan.php http://beijingbookworm.com/whatsnew.htm http://www.pandapassport.com/chinese-internet/donate-for-adspace/ http://www.lostlaowai.com/commentary/blog/2008/05/15/add-a-quake-relief-donation-badge-to-your-blogsite/ http://rconversation.blogs.com/rconversation/2008/05/help-chinas-qua.html http://chinesepod.com/earthquake_relief http://shanghaiist.com/2008/05/16/green_scene_how.php

  • For U.S. visitors, traffic has almost doubled from February to April alone. The service is now pulling in nearly 1.2 million people per month. Twitter is growing very fast, and just as we’ve noted, Compete believes Twitter’s recent coverage in the mainstream press (for events like helping the American student get out of jail in Egypt and coverage of the China earthquake) is helping to fuel this growth.

  • I didn't find any of my friends using this, but I did find an old account of my own that I had completely forgotten about. For a split second I was like, "how did this person find all those photos of me???" Lol.
  • Any thoughts on the privacy issue I raised above? Revealing information about users shouldn't be something a user has to opt out of. For example some people may not want their co-workers or potential employers to know that they have a flickr account. They should have to opt in instead of opt out. I think this could get ugly for some people who don't want to be found. Also the setting for opting out should be changed. I may want to be found by my flickr buddy name, but just not by the new email address way. There should be a way to leave things the same way they were before. Now I can only opt out of everything or opt in for everything.
  • Proggie: Privacy is something we take very seriously at Flickr. People have actually always been searchable by email address on Flickr (via "People Search"), and we chose to respect our member's existing people search preference settings (as well as make that preference page easier to find). On the opt-out versus opt-in issue, this is something where we carefully weighed the options, and chose the default option based on what we feel would have the greatest benefit for the majority of our members. Just as we chose to make "public" the default for uploaded photos, we chose to preserve opt-out as the default for people search on Flickr.

  • 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.

In Twitter's Scoble Problem, a Business Model - GigaOM - 0 views

  • In Twitter’s Scoble Problem, a Business Model
  • Anyway, to put Scoble and his Tweets in context, let’s assume for a minute that he always has 25,000 followers and he sent them 12,000 updates which are all 140 characters long, the maximum size allowed by Twitter. Again, hypothetically speaking, assuming each update is 100 bytes, then 12,000 updates generated used up 30 GB of data. (12000 updates * 100 bytes)* 25,000 = 30000000000 (30 GB) So here we come to the good part. This massive database of followers is what Twitter should turn into a business. Twitter should charge Scoble, Leo, me, Michael Arrington and anyone else who has more than 100 friends and followers. How about something simple? $10 a month for 1,000 subscribers. 25,000 subscribers means someone like Scoble should be paying them around $250 a month.
  • Let’s take it a step further. Twitter should limit people to 500 free messages a month. Any more should come in a bucket of, say, 1,000 messages for $10. Businesses like Comcast that want to use the service for commercial reasons should pay for the service, and so should startups like Summize, which want to build their businesses based on Twitter’s API. This would also fit the Freemium business model that Twitter investor Fred Wilson so loves. And at the same time, it would help Twitter overcome its abhorrence for adding advertising to the messages. I think many of us have a lot to gain from the service: My alerts about my posts on the system are a form of advertising for my work, and generate enough attention that paying for the service makes lot of sense.

  • 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.

  • Flickr is more fun with friends, but it is a big busy place, and sometimes it can be hard to find the people you know. The new Find Your Friends feature can help with that. If you have a Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, or Microsoft Live Hotmail account we can look for people in your address book who are already using Flickr. Then you can add them as a Flickr contact. How neat is that?
