China Businesscast: mobile web and marketing with NaviblogPosted by Robert Ness on Sunday, February 25, 2007 at 10:52 AM
 Mobile marketing firm Naviblog Naviblog is a Japan-based, award-winning mobile marketing firm currently making inroads into the Chinese market. They provide platforms for location-based blogging and a Second Life-like game played from the mobile phone. Continuing our series on the mobile space in China, I talk with Naviblog CEO Mandali Khalesi, who argues that mobile marketing will drive adoption of mobile Web use in China as well as other markets. Will mobile marketing take China to a place where millions trace the footsteps of top China blogger Xu Jinglei as she blogs on-the-go, or will people just balk at their mobiles turning into fountains of spam?

Classic Danwei posts
+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.

Comments on China Businesscast: mobile web and marketing with Naviblog
>>people are questioning whether or not the mobile device will surpass the PC as the primary means for accessing the Web in China.
Can I have some of what these "people" are smoking?
Newsflash: The internet is text.
Yeah, I see your "what about youtube?" and I raise you a "but how do you search it without typing in 'Chinese students sing pop song'?"
Apart from short personal messages, you can't input anything -- and certainly not a proper search string -- on a mobile phone.
And _the very moment_ that push SMS ads get above a couple a day, there will be legislation making it illegal. Cadres carry mobile phones too...
