Beijing StartupDigest
Hello Beijing Watchers!
I came, I talked, and I learned about the convergence of Social Games and Gambling in the iGaming Asia conference in Macau. Don’t be surprised to see PopCap and Zynga to do more wagering and betting as the industries converge. Dr. Gang Lu, founder of Technode.com and I were speakers and on the same panel of how games and mobile will impact gambling. Unfortunately, both of us missed out on the blow out party at Playboy Club on the last night.
While in Macau, I took a TechMule (buy gadgets that you cannot get in Mainland China. i.e. iPad 3G and a cool iPhone 8x lens) trip to Hong Kong, 1 hour away by ferry. In Hong Kong, I got to meet the great folks who comprise and make up the startup and coworking space core of Hong Kong at BootHK. If you go there, ask for Jon or Casey. These are the folks who organize Startup Incubator and Startup Saturdays.
The Phenomena of Sina Weibo in China
Microblog helps find back kidnapped children in China
How Weibo makes Whistle blowing easier for Chinese (if they don’t get arrested first)
Some Interesting China tech stories:
The 10 Commandments to Venture Investing in China
Good folks at Creativ Culture
The Flipboard clones of China
I hope to attend BarCamp Shanghai in a few weeks. Say hi if you are there.
If you get a chance (and have access to Facebook), www.kwestr.com is now in Open Beta before we launch in a few weeks, I would love to hear your feedback.
Regards,
Frank and David
