Google China launched its official blog: Google blackboard newspaper.
People of at least my age from mainland China will understand the word “Blackboard Newspaper”. What about another even scarier word: “Big-character Newspaper”. Were they coming back? In the new era format – blogs? Yes and No. Yes, Chinese people are desperately trying to find channels to express themselves … nowadays they have it. No, gone is the time when some people can stirrup the craze and manipulate people's thought and actions -- for quite a long time, say 10 years -- for their own political (or other ) agenda. People blog for their own selves. Coming is the network era. Amid regulation, spying, filtering, censoring, we have it at last. Free at last.
