IDEA 20090504 Identica China

Identi.ca China should be rolled out on infrastructure that will be both in traditional Chinese, and on servers close to China and/or in China, but that are federated, and not capable of being blocked by GFW. This would allow it to bypass the situation in China with Twitter and Facebook, and provide a massive service to all those in China.

HOWTO

 * Find 1-3 local Chinese partner (Already found!)
 * Find a local Hong Kong partner (since HKG has the fastest net connections into china without the Great Firewall)
 * Localize identi.ca web interface
 * Localize the identi.ca user experience as a cultural interface, which is crucial in China
 * Partner with local chinese press and media for events to promote the use of Identi.ca China

Future

 * Rollout middleeastern interface in Syria with Bassel
 * Rollout Identica in Iran with Iranian interface, for obvious reasons
