More details
The New York Times has published an article named “Internet Boom in China Is Built on Virtual Fun, the article said that currently Chinese Internet users are mainly for entertainment and fun, foreign Internet companies need to understand this culture.
But in other side, I believe many Chinese Internet users are doing some thing unrelated to entertainment. They organizing conference with social network tool, making online community of art practice, translating foreign blogger’s posts by Creative Commons license, creating open learning community, create non-profit publishing for country Children, development open sources software, translating MIT’s open course into Chinese, and etc.
So I want to write a book called Their Internet to spread their unique experience to the world. But I am poor on English, so if you like to do same, sign up and let’s create a team to do it.
