just a little twitter funny video, i know this blog is more about seo, but sometimes, i cannot resist to temptation.
You know twitter if you are familiar with social media and online marketing, and you remember that you can only write 140 character in each message. Now imagine if you had the same thing in real life, a twitter life, that's what this funny video is all about.
Twitter, SEO and China

If used appropriately Twitter can generate some seriously good traffic to your website, there are tons of posts about how to do this on the web. Have you tried searching for site:twitter.com in Google recently? You get 137 million search results.
Let's see the case of our favorite company, them.pro. In a Google search, our twitter account, twitter.com/seochina (search it), almost every tweet appears, and in the search: "SEO China" it gets the 14th position. We are getting backlinks not only to our website but to our tweets! Bottom line, "tweeting" works.
It is a cheap and easy way to generate traffic from anywhere in the world… but how about China? Just like Facebook and Youtube, Twitter is blocked in the whole country. Before it was blocked, Twitter was becoming a popular service in China and many Chinese were using it on daily basis. Now, similar (clone) services like jiwai.de and t.sina.com.cn are there to fill up the space Twitter left.
So can we still use Twitter? Of course! It is still possible to tweet in China without much hassle… we use ping.fm and our followers are still subscribing from in and out of China. The effort is not lost, our advice is, even in China, tweet, tweet, tweet…
China Facebook

China facebook. Today, Facebook and twitter, probably because of what's going on on the west side of the country, are blocked in china. I am not going to discuss the politics behind this. This is a blog about search engine optimization, and internet marketing, so i am going to stick to that... but don't think i am heartless or I don't care about what is going on.
1) Now imagine you are in shanghai, or beijing, and you run your company on facebook (with a facebook app), well, as long as facebook is blocked, then you have 0 turn over...
2) they want to stop spreading the information... but i am wondering if by blocking facebook, they don't actually boost the spread of information, because the whole world is going to speak about facebook being blocked!
3) Often, people think that china is blocking facebook to stop information broadcasting abroad. actually I think that the main reason is for chinese in china. this is the most important part they need to control... so why don't they stop xiaonei, a facebook copy in china!?
Well, let's hope facebook is going to be accessible again in china in few hours, because it's also a tool for my business...
Edit: we are on the 24 of july, and facebook is till blocked in china. It's probably going to be blocked until october 1st 2009, for the 60th anniversary of the creation of the "People's Republic of China".
China Blocks Twitter and Flickr

Edit 07/08/2009 :
China blocked twitter again, and facebook, and almost everything that can help information broadcasting.
China blocked twitter and flickr today. We don't know why. Maybe to help its new comers like the chinese competitor of twitter ( fanfou.com ). Still, we lost today two very good seo assets.
Actually, we can continue add message to our twitter by using services like ping.fm , that's how i am right now twitting about it ;o)
But i cannot read my favorite tweets anymore, except by using a proxy.
Edit : China blocked twitter, flickr, hotmail, bing, and youtube was blocked before... so, what's next? keep tuned
