25 China Experts You Should Follow on Twitter - AdAgeChina - Spe
HONG KONG (AdAgeChina.com) - Taking a cue from Ad Age's MediaWorks newsletter (" 25 Media People You Should Follow on Twitter "), AdAgeChina offers a list of 25 China experts you should follow on Twitter. Yes, we know the Chinese government has blocked Twitter (" China's Net Nanny Blocks Twitter "), but many of these active Twitter users have found alternative ways to keep posting on the site and we hope the service will resume its normal status soon. We've also included a list of their recent tweets, all posted in English, to give you an idea of what they write about. As a group, they provide a colorful and informative picture of life and consumer behavior in Greater China. Use the comments section to add the ones we missed -- and there are plenty more to choose from, given the rapid growth of Twitter in China in the past year -- or send us a tweet at @AdAgeChina .
