Part II is here: http://friendfeed.com/e... - Robert Scoble

Amazing!! looks like they are using Unity... ( http://unity3d.com/ ) - Benton

This is insane! Amazing how capable browsers these days are becoming. building applications and services for the browser is inherently solving the cross platform problem (for the most part) - Bhavishya Kanjhan

Thanks for posting the interview, it was even more awesome in real life :) - Shaun

It's hard to understand. I don't speak the language. But the people in the back are very interesting. Great vibe. - Robert Scoble

@Web2Asia, sorry, I just copied Shel Israel. - Robert Scoble

Blame it on Shel :) - anna sauce

you've been there a week, you'd think you'd speak fluently by now...jeez... - Zee.

If you can't understand it then...ok, nevermind! - WorldofHiglet

Looks like someone should've invested some time with Rosetta Stone. - Akiva Moskovitz

any cool tech company addressing the language issue? seems like a huge opportunity to make this country and whats happening more accessible - simonpure

xiha btw, is a very cool cross-alphabet, polyglot social network - anna sauce

And by that I mean... this is a funny night for such a display... - Andrew

If so, I'm sure Robert was suitably proud. :) - WorldofHiglet

cool! hi #cnbloggercon! :-) - Web2Asia

Hello China! :) - Melanie McBride

What kind of reaction do the Chinese have on Twitter, FF? - Dave Martin

Not that many eyeballs will see this, right? ;) - jamesdkirk

Hello too! I am watching the live video #cnbloggercon! - K.D.

HELLO CHINA! - Michael Fidler

I guess we should be on our best behavior, or maybe not. - Michael Fidler

This is like those totally groovy Cisco ads showing the beautiful kids watching video of each other across the network! Hey K.D.!! - jamesdkirk

Hello from Seattle! - Brian Daniel Eisenberg

Ni Hau Ma! - Josh Haley

Hello from San Jose! - Uncle CW™

Hi BloggerCon, from Mexico !! - Rocky

scary: this is one of those 'don't write anything you don't want to see projected 10ft tall Mark Vandenberg....' - anna sauce

Robert Scoble Pays me to write nice things about him. - Uncle CW™

of course, now that you just called attention to it, somebody in the govt is probably looking into it :-) - Mark Schulz

Mark: nah. If they wanted to block me they would have done that five days ago. :-) The great firewall is VERY efficient. They have tons of people looking through everything. - Robert Scoble

Sometimes I'll block your Twitter and FriendFeed while I'm eating Chinese food. Just for the hell of it. - Kevin Leroux

they block your blog but let you in the country... - anna sauce

anna: I think they are investors in Twitter. :-) - Robert Scoble

(if they're smart) - anna sauce

btw. your comment re: wordpress.com sites is very interesting - anna sauce

your blog in iran has been blocked too :( - mhmazidi

mhmazidi: it's all that porn! :-) - Robert Scoble

When I visited China, Facebook chat was a lifesaver. I wasn't a FFeeder yet. - Raleigh

@robert i,m so sorry for this :( - mhmazidi

mhmazidi: can you add my account to Google Reader? That seems to work here. - Robert Scoble

yes. i follow your activity all around the web. your blog is in my greader for long time. not bad for me. bad for other persian reader... sorry for bad writing english - mhmazidi

The great firewall has enough holes to get in or out... This may be a bit too simplistic, but how about just using HotspotShield? - Michael Leuker from fftogo

@Kevin actual lol. - David Owens

mhmazidi: that's cool, though. Love it that Google Reader pokes through government censorship. I wonder how long it'll be before FriendFeed and Google Reader both are blocked? - Robert Scoble

in some of region of iran, HTTPS is blocked. thus log in with FF is hard for us :( - mhmazidi

How does that work, even if you have the same option, your blog is blocked but the content lives on very intieresting. - Ray Marr aka Knatchwa

the filtering method in our countery , iran, is a little different. the filtering committee members will search some keywords, if you have that keywords on your blog, your blog will be filtered. if your post is not about policy , there is a chance that they unblock your blog after you accept to remove some of your posts but if you write about politics , you will be in danger because they can arrest you. - امیرعباس

Little Savage: hopefully one day all people will have the freedom I have. Someday I hope to visit your country and shake your hand without you worrying about what the government might think. - Robert Scoble

Farbod: I can't even imagine what it's like to live there. I wish you well. - Robert Scoble

فربد "دی اررست آس" درسته . ادیتش کن - MeŤi

Farbod: I know. Maryam and my son are going to Iran in March (while I go to SXSW in Austin, Texas). You should meet up with her. - Robert Scoble

@robert - acctualy our condition is not as bad as you think. we have every thnig that we need. but the problem is that our country is a third world country but our expectation from life is like people that are living in first world counteries :) we are trying to change the condition and i'm sure that we can. by the way i'm very happy that you have planned to come here. iran is a beautiful country ;) - امیرعباس

Farbod and Shine: hey, I know about "unsightly patch." We had George Bush here for eight years. Yeah, Maryam is coming to Iran. You should send her email at g_maryam@hotmail.com and plan a meetup with her and Milan. - Robert Scoble

Little Savage: I won't be able to make it on this trip in March, but Maryam and Milan will. Look forward to hearing all about it. - Robert Scoble

Don't tempt us to make a gag about wanting to move to China, Robert. ;-) - David Petherick from twhirl

David: I'm not moving to China. I like California more. - Robert Scoble

Interesting, my blog is fine and all the sites that I usually go to, have been no problem to access. - Alvin

Robert! your blog's not for me blocked in iran :)) - Mohammad - kimyagar

I'd prefer wings to feet - Daltonsbriefs

Would like to try them but I have to say I would be apprehensive. Having said that I do enjoys porkscratchings so I guess I have weird enough tastes to like them. - Rob Brammeld

Let's go to Thailand together some time Robert - I'll get you some fried grasshoppers there ;-) - Jesse Stay

oh, man, I love braised chicken feet. To be honest, I love practically anything braised. - ha3rvey (Ho)^3

"throwing up in Seattle" :-p - Live4Emma (L4S)

I think I playes Tic-Tac-Toe against that chicken. The little bastard. - Soulhuntre from twhirl

ewww - Mohamed J

nimen hao! I wish I was in China eating some amazing food :( - anna sauce

when i had chicken feet in china, i had no idea what it was at first. this is what happens when you order from dim sum carts by pointing at things at random. they were delicious, though :-D - Karim

Not enough meat on them feet for my liking. It's like gnawing on rubber. lol - Victor

lobster, crab, chicken feet all fall into my category of Tasty but too much work for too little gain... After all, I don't don't have to butcher my steak myself to enjoy it! - David HC Soul

Web2Asia I just sent it over. Thanks! - Robert Scoble

Wow, beautiful pictures of Christine. Great light. You may have a future in this business, Scoble! ;) - Paul Salzman from twhirl

Sounds awesome. how much? - Scott Overpeck

Photos or a short video of the market would be nice if possible, hint, hint! - Roney Smith

Scott: about $200 before negotiating. I have some photos, but will post them later tonight. - Robert Scoble

Look forward to seeing them. You know anyone who has tried one. - Scott Overpeck

Scott: I don't. Everyone has real iPhones that I've met with, but then I'm hanging out with geeks. - Robert Scoble

Definitely bring some back. Need a shipping address? - Ralph Riccardi

Dealextreme has knockoff iPhones all the time. Not sure if they're dual SIM but my memory is they fetch about $120ish plus a few dollars shipping (which is super fast). I can't vouch for whether they actually work. I think the $199 price for an 8GB iPhone takes a lot of the wind out of the sales of the these fakes. - Wayne Schulz

WOW - What a concept!! "and have replaceable batteries” - JimmyJet

Replaceable batteries might have saved my co-worker, who dropped her phone into water. Sadly, I don't think there's a way to quickly kill all power to an iPhone, if you can't remove the battery. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

Photos will be nice! I wonder if the knock offs function as well as the real thing, the battery idea is very cool though. - MedicalQuack

Robert, have you see Android knockoffs? - Julio F ~ @SocialJulio

Have fun in Shanghai robert. Try to take time for an evening visit @ "JC Club" in Fuxing Xi Lu / Wulumuqin Lu - great little jazz-place. Today Sunday is nice - w CoCo a local star. Show starts around 10pm. - Niels Peter

Julio: I haven't seen any Android knockoffs yet. In the black market everyone comes up to you and says "handbag? watch? iPhone?" - Robert Scoble

Android is open source. There's no such thing as an Android knockoff. - scott anderson

PLEEASE show us some pics or videos of the iphone knockoffs - natadd

natadd: I will post those later tonight. Still have tons of meetings today. - Robert Scoble

No knockoffs of the Android software - but were these running the genuine iPhone OS? If so, you could get the same with Android: knockoff hardware, say copying the T-Mobile one, but running genuine Android. - James

On the android thing, iirc there is already work being done getting android up and running on the neo freerunner. That is the latest openmoko phone, btw ;) - turn.self.off

what are you doing here at my home town scoble?:) - houyr from twhirl

Robert, txs for the videos. Great info! - Julio F ~ @SocialJulio

even better: your friends still have houses! - Pete Delucchi

haha - id better hide our offices schnaps collection then - Web2Asia

Pete++ - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

Even better, he's not even here. I barely know Scales. How many would give me keys to their house without getting to know me better? - Robert Scoble

That is a good friend! :) But out of the thousands you interact with Robert - how do you define friend? - Lucretia Pruitt

Lucretia: anyone who gives me keys to their house is definitely a friend. :-) - Robert Scoble

I'd be happy with just the whiskey :D - Will Higgins™

I used to go out swing dancing quite a bit. 6-7 days/week. Especially back when I lived in Chicago. The dance community is a lot like what Louis described in his post and what you're experiencing with Robert Scales and his house, Robert. I've stayed in many strangers' homes and they are now counted in my bajigglion friends' lists. :-) - Lisa L. Seifert

And now that I think about it, the dance community is one reason I moved to the Bay Area. I knew that even if I only personally knew 1 or 2 dancers, I actually had a ready-made community to rely on during a move since we all had dance as that common ground. - Lisa L. Seifert

Yeah, Christine and friends have really planned out a great day. Hopefully we'll be able to do some live video. - Robert Scoble

Looking forward to seeing more videos from China. I just watched your Seagate drive manufacturing video. Very interesting. - Jeff P. Henderson

We have tons of video and photos and I'll try to upload stuff tonight. - Robert Scoble

1.2 million (i'm guessing i'm way over...) - Zee.

18. But 18 REALLY great ones :) - Simon Wicks

Zee: you're very close. They won't let me disclose the exact number, but you're close enough. - Robert Scoble

I loose :( - Simon Wicks

Simon: they make more than that in a few seconds. - Robert Scoble

woohoo! what do i win?? - Zee.

Zee: my undying respect. - Robert Scoble

over 18 per second!? Wow, now i do want to see that footage :) - Simon Wicks

Simon: well, let's say they make more than a million a week. Divide that by the number of seconds in a week. Let's just say they make a LOT of drives. More than 10,000 people work at this plant, too. - Robert Scoble

can i get that in writing? :) Just joshin' chief - Zee.

@Zee: This means one more checkmark for your life goals ;) - Jemm

hey welcome back to the online world - how was the trip? - Web2Asia

genieyclo: this factory doesn't, but Seagate is working on flash-related storage devices, or at minimum, ones that combine flash with hard drive storage. - Robert Scoble

George: we'll be on this trip until the 18th. So far it's going very well. Got a lot more video that I expected already. Seagate gave us complete access to its fab, which was really over the top. - Robert Scoble

Is that the same amount of storage produced per week, or do they change it up depending on sales everywhere? I'm still finding it hard to come to terms with just how many drives that is. Amazed. - Simon Wicks

Simon: they adjust the lines to respond to customer demand. So, yes, that can go up and down. It is totally amazing. I saw thousands of drives be built today. How many petabytes? I have no idea, but many of the drives were 500 gigabyte models. - Robert Scoble

cool keep on sharing - Jeremiah Owyang

But did you meet iPhone Girl?? - Kevin Leroux
