Beijing, China
Background:
David Feng is a Beijing-born Swiss expatriate who has spent time in both Switzerland (1988 - 2000) and Beijing (birth - 1988, 2000 -). He is the President of the Beijing Macintosh User Group, Beijing Macintosh Union and the Asia-Pacific Mac Union, and the founder of Beijingology - a wiki and blog about the city of Beijing. He is also relatively active in the tech world in Beijing, being a member of the Beijing Linux User Group as well as founding the Beijing Macintosh User Group.
David has been a Mac and tech guy since September 1991, when he was introduced to the Mac Classic by his computer teacher. He has been active in the tech world since the 2000s, with the 2002 launch of the Mac user group in Beijing, as well as being the featured speaker on World Usability Day (Beijing) in November 2005, being an active Mac guy at Macworld 2006, and more. In late 2005, David launched his first blog, and since has been blogging about all matters, including non-tech topics such as public speaking and fonts.
You can’t exactly pry David’s cold hands off either his iMac, MacBook or PowerBook G4, but when he isn’t typing or blogging, he’s probably just driving around Beijing and snapping photos for the Beijingology wiki and blog, perfecting his swimming or bowling skills, or hanging out with his friends.

Frequently Asked Questions
For further information about blognation please read the FAQ below which explains more about who we are and our plans for the future.
What’s blognation?
Blognation is a network of professional bloggers brought together to report on the latest Web 2.0 technology, mobile and enterprise start-ups from around the world, but only written in English.
When are you launching?
July 1st, 2007 saw the launch of blognation. The other countries covered by blognation will follow in due course over the summer.
What’s blognation’s goal?
We want to become one of the first sites that technology-enthusiasts, bloggers, early adopters, fellow entrepreneurs and investors visit to find daily updates on Web 2.0 technology, mobile and enterprise news from all over the world. The English-speaking part of the world is language-challenged: there are many excellent blogs in Spanish or German about Web 2.0 start-ups, but if you don’t read these languages, you’re stuck. We believe blognation solves that problem by offering news about those start-ups only in English.
What can we expect from blognation?
Expect news about new players in the Web 2.0 arena, launches and features, interviews, in-depth articles, serial posts, live event coverage through (micro-)blogging, photos, podcasts, screencasts; a company profile index, lists of global technology events and a job board. Expect us to attend local Web 2.0 conferences and meet-ups.

blognation was founded by entrepologist Sam Sethi.
