Churbuck.com

Sunday, April 30th, 2006

I recently found the blog written by David C. Churbuck. He is the Vice President of Global Web Marketing at Lenovo, the world’s third largest PC producer based in China. He’s only been in Beijing for a couple weeks but has already met with many of the people that are making China’s massive internet. Most notably he met with people at Sohu.com and Mop.com. Its also interesting to read his reflections on Chinese web design and China’s IT boom.

Danwei recently mentioned an english blog about underground Chinese music called Chaile (拆了). It’s a great guide to China’s burgeoning music scene. Even better they have really cool podcasts here. I feel better knowing that China is not only listening to bad generic pop music. And who knows, maybe Chinese punk will become more popular than Super Girls.

My friends away message just reminded me that I have less than a month until we leave for Beijing. For now though, my finals loom.
