On The State Of The China Blogosphere.

By Dan Harris on Posted in Recommended Reading

I know I am really late to this party, but I did not get around to listening to this until tonight, and now that I have, I have to recommend it. The “it” is a podcast discussion, entitled, “Death of the China Blog,” between veteran bloggers Kaiser Kuo, Will Moss and Jeremy Goldkorn, in an always lively no-holds barred discussion/lamentation on the history of China blogging and its present.

Really great stuff by some really forthright and smart people and I recommend you go here and give it a listen.   

Update: Just saw that Sinosplice has a good post on this podcast as well, entitled, “China Blog Death and Relevance.“

    I too had been hearing of this podcast but had yet to listen. Your post pushed me over the top so i did and I am glad I did. My favorite part was when they would wax nostalgic for the blogs that are no more. I so miss Dave’s Gone China, where we could always count on original and insightful analysis and I even miss Talk Talk China, which, through its rawness, truly provided a real life glimpse into what it’s like for those of us crazy enough to live here.
    I wish they had given more shrift to the blogs now, but I was pleased at least that they mentioned you and China Hearsay as blogs definitely worth reading.

    I listened to it and it was as good as you say. Thanks for giving us the link.

    I am glad I did more than just read about the podcast because when I actually listened, I realized it was far more nuanced than the writing on it would have indicated. The speakers are not lamenting the death of the English language China blog, they are more lamenting the fact that it has expanded so much beyond their own coterie and how that dispersal has made the blogosphere a much less collegial place, for both better and for worse.
    This really is an amazingly good podcast and it is the first time I have listened to it but I am not going to miss any from here on out.

    I consider your blogroll one of the best lists out there and I appreciate how you try to keep it up to date.
