About Asia Focus

  • In response to the great need for foresight about Asia, IFTF has launched the Asia Focus Program. Asia Focus research topics are large-scale, under-explored areas from which unexpected futures will emerge. It is part of IFTF's flagship program, the Ten-Year Forecast Program, which provides a broad scan of the environment and is a leading source of foresight for a vangard of business, government, and nonprofit organizations.

Technorati and GBS best bet for finding Chinese-language blogs

At least according to Tangos at China Web2.0 Review.  He did a search for what should be a pretty easy thing to find--Google China's new official blog (Google 黑板报).  Results?

The winner goes to GBS and Technorati with 85 and 70 results, icerocket followed with 50 results. But all the China’s blog search engines sucks, the best one only returns 11 results.
