As part of our 2010 planning, I’m visiting internal teams and vendors in Southeast Asia to share planning information and to gather perspectives on social media adoption and use in local markets. It’s been a whirlwind so far, and I have two more stops to go! My first stop was Beijing. I landed at 3:15 p.m. on November 16—9 hours before President Obama flew in on Air Force One. Obama has been met with a lot of enthusiasm, and I must say that there’s no shortage of enthusiasm here in general. In fact, people seem to be embracing new technology with the spirit of Silicon Valley in its heyday.]]> http://www.socialtis.net/2009/11/inside-the-great-firewall-%e2%80%93-innovation-thrives/feed/ 0
