Posted Follow Team Shanghaiist on Twitter to Shanghaiist
If there's one thing that we at Shanghaiist would like to thank the
Net Nanny for, it's that she's totally reunited Chinese microbloggers with the one big happy family that is Twitter again. You see, previously, everyone was distributed across a plethora of local microblogging services, but now with the
demise of the two kingpins of the Chinese twitter clone world,
Fanfou and
Jiwai, everyone's just decided to collectively show the
GFW their middle finger by signing up for a
VPN and rejoining the conversation on Twitter.
Since around March this year, a
sad-looking panda has been spotted roaming the streets of New York City — on the subway, in Times Square, at various parks and around Wall Street's bull statue. Over the next few months, the Sad Panda has intrigued and fascinated New Yorkers — his short disappearance on Wall Street led a few concerned individuals to put up a
missing notice, and his
great makeover as Spongebob Squarepants did not go unnoticed. Turns out this Sad Panda is a 62 year old man from Guangzhou, Chen Jialing, who has now lived in the United States for many years.
