internet - Livingin gets overheated


There has been quite some discussion on Living in China and whether the blogger's portal is still the promise it was in the beginning. Well, I should have put up some links here to that discussion but unfortunately their server seems to be unable to deal with the traffic. Now that is both good and bad news of course.
The site still works very well as a traffic-generator, so for many of the innocent surfers at the Net it points in the direction of at least this blog. Contentwise there is a profound lack of direction. Any focus, more newsy, more community-like, even more human rights, more service-oriented, that would not matter as long as there is not this big nothing.
A portal for bloggers has no face, since the collective of bloggers has no face. You still need editors to get a bit of content organized - fortunately.
