I am a firm believer in the importance of taking time for reflection. So let’s reflect on our progress thus far…

After its start this fall The China Observer blog has come a long way. In just a matter of months, The China Observer blog was picked up by the Wall Street Journal China blog on three occasions (one, two, three). In just a matter of months, The China Observer blog was featured on the influential China Law Blog. In just a matter of months, as of this week, The China Observer blog was published on SeekingAlpha.com. What I am trying to express is that we have come a very long way in such a short period of time and I am thrilled about this beginning of what I hope will be a successful and meaningful journey.

Looking forward, the Chinalyst China Blog Awards 2008 competition is well underway. I decided to use this as an opportunity to promote The China Observer blog and emailed a great number of you about the blog and the competition. As a result our number of RSS subscribers has increased, I am receiving many emails with both praise and suggestions for improvement and the conversations are gradually starting to get longer on our posts.

So far we are in a close competition for first place. There are many great China business blogs out there and The China Observer blog has only been around for just a few months, but I hope that you will take a second to cast your vote and show your support.
