Muzimei, speaking for Bokee.com

internet - Muzimei goes for podcast

The British Telegraph was kind enough to point me to Muzimei's latest endavour, her podcasting. No, do not click through right away to her site, but listen to some serious warning I have to give you before you leave me.
Of course, some parts of her podcasts are, just as her previous writing, potentially exciting, although most of it is really very, very boring. Guess at least a few or the men must have noticed this time she was wearing a wire. What is worst, her host company Bokee.com has developed a system that will screw up your computer for a long time. When you click on this page, large number of podcasts start to download to your computer.
It blocks virtually all other activity on your computer: my RSS-reader, gmail, nothing worked in the hours I let those podcast come in. After a few hours I lost my patience and quit the whole thing, since despite my excellent internet connection, downloading was still going on.
I could not subscripe to independent RSS-readers, probably a way how Bokee wants you to stick with them. A nuisance, I can tell you.
I will wait until she starts a vlog.

Update: One of my more innocent readers asked me who this Muzimei actually is. The previously Guangdong-based reporter Li Li used in 2003 Muzimei as her pen name for sex diaries where she reviewed the sexual achievements of a fast growing number of men. The men were identified by name - obvious without their consent - and that created a large number of people who were rightfully pissed off.
Not only collapsed the servers under the vast growing interest, Li lost her job and has recently been hired by Bokee.com, a host service for weblogs - depending on your definition of weblogs. She got a bit of attention on those days, and the commercially oriented Bokee.com seems to be eager to follow that line.
