"Conversation. What is it? A Mystery! It's the art of never seeming bored, of touching everything with interest, of pleasing with trifles, of being fascinating with nothing at all. How do we define this lively darting about with words, of hitting them back and forth, this sort of brief smile of ideas which should be conversation?" ~ Guy de Maupassant ~

This is just crazy, especially in an age where we are talking about attention trust and citizen journalism . It will be interesting to see how this plays out ... Robert Scoble to his great credit has added his voice to the conversation. Rebecca's post states clearly that Microsoft is the one that shut down the blog - I'm keen to hear their reasons for this, the 'politics' involved, if they had directives from the Chinese government and how they handle the issue. Hopefully this is another step towards transparency and our right to freedom of speech.
