Too bad your blogger had other things to tend to, but he attended the initial NTALKS late last month and he recommends it. (And no, it’s not because he had a 3-minute mic moment to “propagate” the bits and bobs on status.net, the WordPress of microblogging.) If you have nothing to do on the last Sunday of every month — or if you just want to stay informed more and more about the more 2.0 aspects of the Chinese Web, there’s always NTALKS, co-hosted by Gang Lu and Cindy Jiang from the Mobinode.

The first-ever NTALKS kicked off with microblogging, and we had some heavyweights come onstage — including folks from Hesine, Netease Microblogs, and many more. The most recent event focused more on the mobile market, and folks from UCWeb, Tencent Wireless and Renren, one of the major Chinese SNS networks.

Both these events were held at the France Telecom OrangLabs centre (10th floor, Raycom Info Centre C; 2, Kexueyuan South Road, Haidian) in Beijing (海淀区科学院南路 2 号融科资讯中心 C 座南楼 10 层). Events take place around 14:00 through 17:00 and prior registration online is needed.

由盧剛及 Cindy 之「動點博客」從上個月 (2010 年 3 月) 就開始創辦 NTALKS，每月一次。上個月講的是微博 (微型博客)，這一次則是移動 (Mobile)。每個月一次的 NTALKS 群音薈，值得大家關注。
