Top of the Blogs for Shanghai
Below is a chart of the top English language Shanghai blogs according to their Technorati ranking. This chart position is based on the number of other blogs that link to the site and not on visitor traffic. Technorati has “technical” difficulties in China due to unofficial firewalls and lots of obvious local blogs were missing from their Shanghai blog directory. I have included as many local blogs as I could find and it should give you a general feel for the blogosphere in Shanghai. It would be good to compile a similar list for Chinese language Shanghai blogs, but my Hanzi reading skills will not be upto that task for a number of years to come.
