Happy 2010 to y’all !

What will be my next move, hmm?
The luckiest of us had nice holidays back home with the family, others searched for the sun under the tropics (hu-hu) and some just stayed in Shanghai enjoying the absence of the boss – unless of course they are the boss… Now it is time to get back to work and I have the feeling this year is going to be full of exciting challenges for us Shanghai and China digital marketing fellows.
So what to expect in 2010 from BuzzandtheCity ?
x More content dedicated to the media industry as this is my first love
x The luxury industry to be talked about, well, because I love beautiful things..
x More interviews, focusing on entrepreneur’s profiles, people who make a difference in our city and CEOs insights
x Focus on the buzz marketing potential in China
x Other suprises on the way, but overall, let’s have some fun in what we do…
What about you? What are your resolutions? What would you like to see on BuzzandtheCity?
Best wishes from B.andtheCity, and thank you for following me and supporting the blog !
It’s been long since the last B.and the City Coffee Break – blaming workaholism, yes.
Since
Google launched
Google wave, some wondered what is exactly the
“wave”. I will leave up to experts the care to answer this fundamental question and use Google definition :
“an online tool for real-time communication and collaboration”.
I must confess I haven’t really used it yet – probably because most of my contacts are not surfing this wave (yet?) and also because if the wave becomes a tsunami in China, I will end up facing a “couldn’t find the web page” again, losing my contacts etc…The situation of web here has taught me some cautious habits when it comes to adopting online trends from abroad.
However, this is a
coffee break : I came accross a
hilarious website on which anybody can vote for things easier to understand – or not, than Google Wave.
My favorites are Google Wave vs Our own existence (65%), Sarah Palin (26%) Women (27%) Cardiothoracic surgery (54%)
So I came up with a few of my own:
Which is easier to understand in China, Google Wave or ..

SEO on Baidu ?

Leading an E-commerce strategy

Doing business with China ?

Finding Who's behind BuzzandtheCity?

Figuring out the logic behind the urbanism in Shanghai ?

Dealing with Social Media ?
What else is worthy comparison?

Role Reversal in Shanghai © BuzzandtheCity by Alter Real
I have asked my dear, favorite, uber-cool graphist Karim from Alter Real to design this new logo.
The idea is comparing Shanghai to a Sword of Damocles and representing the ever-present danger for those in power. It also reflects the intimate relationship one can have with a powerful city.
Any comments ?
After several months off the microblogging, I am back cause my vpn works again as BuzzandtheCity
I would love to share there articles I read everyday about online strategies, advertising, design, trends and what’s going on in China in general
However, I might tweet never, because Twitter is blocked in China which makes it hard for me to update the profile…
