Today, I gave a one hour lecture to a room full of NCKU Taiwanese students. The topic I was asked to talk about was “Taiwan’s English language Blogosphere”.
Following is the presentation I ended up with
It looks much better when not embedded, download it here.
I gave an overview of some interesting blogs and bloggers I know in Taiwan that I think local Taiwanese would find interesting to read.
This presentation was the first part of a two session lecture. Second part will probably follow next week.

hello Fili,
I am one of the Taiwanese in this lecture.
I interest in listening to a foreigner sharing his experience in my hometown.There are quite difference of view for me, and I have two question below.
1.Why you love chinese culture?
2.Can u define “Blogosphere”?
Can I separate this word to “blog go sphere”,and exain it as”sharing life experience in a local place to anybody in the world by writing blog”

bowia – I’m glad you found that interesting. As for your questions -
1. There are many things about Chinese culture that I find fascinating, and to me – there’s a special kind of beauty in many aspects of this culture. It’s something I can’t quite explain.
2. Wikipedia does a good job with the definition – “Blogosphere is a collective term encompassing all blogs and their interconnections. It is the perception that blogs exist together as a connected community or as a social network.” The connection between blogs in a specific topic that forms a community.
There’s going to be a second part next Tuesday, you’re welcome to come again.
