China Businesscast: TongTong.com

Posted by Robert Ness, September 13, 2006 07:12 PM

In this episode of China Businesscast, I interview Guy and Terrance, two of the co-founders of TongTong.com, a social networking site in China meant to bring globally minded people in and outside of China together. This episode brings insight on the advantages and disadvantages of doing a Web start-up in Mainland China.

Comments on China Businesscast: TongTong.com

I applaud the goal of producing detailed interviews, however I really hope Danwei considers making two versions.

You could call them the "gist" version, and the "verbose" version.

While the Tongtong guys had interesting things to say, there was a _lot_ in there that could have been edited out with no loss of quality.

agree with the above. a little (a lot?) editorial control would help these interviews become a bit more relevant. and how about interviewing a few well placed local business people rather than these fairly low level laowai? I think the insights would be stronger.

All comments are moderated and subject to review by Danwei contributors and editors, but well-grounded and articulate comments will be published regardless of which way they lean. Because comments published on any website ultimately contribute to the character of that website, we may decline to publish comments that are irrelevant, redundant, or that do not adhere to generally accepted standards of courtesy; if you are looking for a fight, there are plenty of other venues available online.
