Oh no! Apparently we haven't been checking Chinasmack enough recently because we completely missed out on this Michael Jackson tribute. On July 12th, at 5pm, a bunch of fans gathered at People's Square on Xizang Lu and Nanjing Lu to “complete MJ's unfinished dance” in one minute. So for a total of 60 seconds, a crowd of people jamoned and moonwalked and crotch grabbed and acted completely crazy!

                        

Yesterday, over a hundred technologists converged on Shanghai for TEDxShanghai at M1NT. Venture capitalists and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs from the Geeks on a Plane tour, along with the cream of China's technocracy, were treated to inspirational presentations about how social media and technology can influence the future of the human race.

In case you weren't able to get tickets or just couldn't make it to the geek + change-the-world fest that is TedXShanghai, the event has been kind enough to live stream their talks on Tudou.com, rendering it ridiculously easy to check out speakers (who know things!) from the comfort of your office computer. Starts at 10am... which is NOW! In case you didn't know, TEDx is a program of "local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience... TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group." You can check out who will be talking about what here.
