It's been really exciting lately.
There are multiple events going on and I feel very motivated and of course excited.
BASE - Beijing Angels and Startup Entrepreneurs
we have a Facebook Page and you can find it here. It is a non-profit organization a few of friends are running right now. Of course, I am the playing the coordination role in all the planning and execution. It's fun doing it, since I like helping people and organizing stuff. What we do here? We organize meet-ups for Web entrepreneurs in Zhongguancun Haidian, Beijing, China (Asia...) Both local and foreign entrepreneurs are very welcomed. You are the key people here! We believe in sharing, being open, helping one another and most importantly keep updated on what's going on here in Beijing, in China as well as else where in the big (and kinda small) world.
The main events are free to all. You need to buy and pay for your own food and drinks at our venue Urban Backyard (http://tinyurl.com/3rktr6), an Italian restaurants opened by three architects in China. It's a three-story restaurant. You can find vegetarian hot pot (steam boat) on the third level. the 2nd floor which is the main one, is primary a bar and the restaurant. The basement is the REAL western dining area that has very nice ambiance and lighting. The food there is okay and it's pretty expensive in the Wudaokou area. But there is free Internet connection there and it's really fast. I could even access blogger.com there. Have not tried wikipedia yet. Will try tomorrow 'cause it's BASE event (http://tinyurl.com/6jj5xv). Please feel free to join us! we are going to answer to this question:
"What are the current characteristics of the growing internet use in
china that are different from the historical growth of the internet use
in the US?"
What's new this time is that: we are going to use twitter to start some small conversations online. @DavidFeng (twitter.com/DavidFeng) will join us at 7pm to start the conversation. Initially I wanted to invite him to join us this time and to share with us "why does he simply tweet so much every day?" by now he has already passed the 5000 tweet mark and marching for the higher one. that's really a lot! I still have 100 over to reach 500. It's like he's been sending over 5000 texts in the whatever time-span it is.
after the tweets, we will start our conversation per normal. people will be in their small groups and start networking... post-it and pens will be provided and they can write their thoughts down any time and post it on a wall before they leave. we will collect all the post-its and make it available online at Resh's wiki site (http://www.pseudolocal.com/). it's nice. By the way, you can find our previous meeting notes for the past two events (April 10 and April 23).
What else you can expect? Resh is going to present to us at the event! (Finally! She wanted to present during last event but she was not able to do it. ) Looking forward to it. There is other demo signed up. I don't know why. Maybe we have not publicize this event earlier enough. hopefully, we can do faster the next time.
There are a few events coming up, too.
