Thumbs-up, David, on the great job that you have done creating "your
baby" over the past 5 years.
LOL!
For now, I will have to stick with this version at your BeiMacWeb
International, which is the english version.

:-)
From afar, I can but only admire your obvious tenacity and the
personal and professional goals that you have set for yourself and
are presently carrying out.
With Continued Care and Best Wishes,
Em

The funny thing about the Chinese version of the Beijing Macintosh
User Group's website, www.beimac.cn, is that it has two purposes...
1. to inform visitors about the Mac user group in Chinese; and
2. to serve as a mandarin Chinese news hub.
Purpose number two is totally, totally redundant and, I know,
should have been dumped before the dinosaurs came out, except for
the fact that...
1. China and the whole Greater China area are pretty short on
Chinese Mac news sites, with a majority of them being forums instead;
2. We're in a league of our own. This is where my knowledge in the
tongues of Thurgau (German), Toulouse (French), Torino (Italian),
and maybe bits of Tokyo (Japanese) and Taegu (Korean), actually
helps me to translate stuff so that people in Tianjin (Chinese), as
well as our fellow Mac-citizens in Taipei across the Straits, and
elsewhere in the nation of 1.3 billion and counting, can understand.
And how do we get from zero to 200,000 visitors from Nov 7, 2003
through to Jan 18, 2007?
1. Go after what they want. Exclusive reports, live coverage, maybe
a little grapevine stuff (although I see your frowns...)
2. Share the wealth. Partner up with other sites in your region.
Never go it alone.
3. Have unique advantages. Learn a unique language and do
translations nobody else could. The stuff that sets you apart from
others.
4. Pure, wild luck. Start a MUG somewhere where there's never been
a MUG before (in a different country).
5. Just stick with the site. Never give the whole thing up.
From the capital of 1.3 billion: bringing more and more Mac
knowledge, Wissenschaft, zhishi (Chinese) to the masses...
Just when we're turning five...
