Anne Applebaum Reads My Blog
Never heard of Anne Applebaum? Me either. But she writes for the Post... And she is a huge fan of my blog. After all, I help give her material for her columns. She read my blog entries on Chinese internet censorship before her latest column hit the Washington Post today.
No, not really. I don't even think my blog is cool enough for Google.
But if it was, I'm sure Applebaum would enjoy it.
While many Post readers are hearing about the problem of Chinese censorship for the first time, our class read about the role of US companies like Microsoft and Cisco in filtering out "subversive" materials before it was a centerpiece editorial in the Post. Applebaum's latest column helps illustrate how news breaks on the "blogosphere" before it makes news in the MSM.
Truthfully, I would have never gotten the idea for the Chinese internet censorship without Phil's article.
So maybe, Applebaum reads Phil's blog.

I never heard about Chinese efforts to filter the net before Phil's article. I mean, it doesn't surprise me, but I was always under the impression that Chinese society was becoming increasingly more free. Those socialist/dictitorial regime guys never really forgot who they really are apparently.
