Sam Gaskin interviewed me for his cover story, “Blogging, A Dead Horse? How Our Favorite Bloggers Do Much More Than the Name Implies”, in the June 2009 issue of Talk Magazine.
This is a comment by Roland Soong (from EastSouthWestNorth) in the article:
Translation sites are excellent resources, but differ from the traditional conception of blogs by lacking a personal tone. Soong sees this as an advantage. “The main content is uneditorialised translations. The point is to show how the Chinese people are reacting to certain issues or events. As such you don’t need to know my personal opinion because that will just confuse things.” Of course, there is some subjectivity inherent in the choice of articles. Soong says “The materials translated [on ESWN] are usually chosen because 1) they are ‘hot’, or 2) they are interesting (in my opinion).”
