Comments on: Real Blogging : Michael Turton - The View from Taiwan http://www.filination.com/blog/2008/01/07/taiwan-blogging-celebrity-michael-turton-the-view-from-taiwan/ A different look at Asia, China and Taiwan Tue, 14 Oct 2008 21:11:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: John http://www.filination.com/blog/2008/01/07/taiwan-blogging-celebrity-michael-turton-the-view-from-taiwan/#comment-42240 John Mon, 07 Jan 2008 09:27:09 +0000 http://www.filination.com/blog/2008/01/07/taiwan-blogging-celebrity-michael-turton-the-view-from-taiwan/#comment-42240 Technically speaking, there are good ways like linking to other Taiwan blogs to bring the community together. Also, Fili and myself have offered technical support, albeit in the form of comments on this blog. I will help anyone that wants to to get their blog more streamlined and powerful in the eyes of the Search Engines, thereby getting their messages to a larger audience. I think that full support form the entire blogging community in the form of links would raise the profile of every blog available. I am going to copy the master list from Michael's site of all of the blogs out there and make a post about it as a way to try and draw the blogosphere together. Let's see what happens by showing lots of link love, and letting everyone know about all members of the community. As far as "Real" life it is a bit harder, as the blogging community is spread out over the island (but I am confident that many bloggers live in or near Taipei). I would go to a party if it was in Tainan, or somewhere closer down south. Hell, I'll even throw one if there is enough interest. MJ K, you are in charge of bands. <em>John's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheRealTaiwan/~3/212128779/1110' rel="nofollow">Japanese girls VS Taiwanese girls</a></em> Technically speaking, there are good ways like linking to other Taiwan blogs to bring the community together.

I think it shows their is probably a huge audience for our blogs -- Taiwanese people in Taiwan. Previously I had thought their were two main groups of people reading my blog -- foreigners living in Taiwan and Taiwanese people living in the USA. However, recently two Taiwanese blogs linked to some of my posts and you wrote this about Michael's blog. Obviously there is a big audience for our blogs here in Taiwan. <em>David on Formosa's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DavidOnFormosa/~3/212288126/' rel="nofollow">Links 7 January 2008</a></em> Thanks for this great post.
