reported that
people in Hong Kong are going around with short-range walkie talkies
in order to communicate with nearby chums wihtout paying a toll to the
telcos; now a Gizmodo reader confirms it:
Your entry on the HK Walkie Talkie phenomenon is 100% accurate.
All the electronics markets are filled with FRS radios and the like.
I've even seen people using them to meet up on the MTR (Subway).
He also says that walkie-talkies that you wear on your wrist (like
the one pictured at right) are most definitely the ones to be seen
with.

A New Online Community in Hong Kong
A New Online Community in Hong Kong
12/19/2004 03:18 PMAs you may know, I teach each fall at the University of Hong Kong's
Journalism & Media Studies Centre,
helping out with a new media course led by Andrew Lih, a professor
there. The student project this year is especially interesting, I
think. Here's the text of a release being sent out to various
folks.
Chatter
Garden, an online community for news and discussion about Hong
Kong regional politics and public affairs, is now live.
The English language site was created as a University of Hong Kong
student project for the New Media Workshop, part of the Journalism and
Media Studies Centre. Visitors are encouraged to engage in online
community dialogue, writing weblog entries and moderating stories. The
Web site creation was directed by assistant professor Andrew Lih and
visiting lecturer Dan Gillmor, author of the book, "We the Media."
While Hong Kong has one of the most free media environments in East
Asia and China, there are surprisingly few forums for public
discourse. Chatter Garden was inspired by other online citizen
journalism projects, such as OhmyNews (Korea), Malaysiakini and
DailyKOS (US) to engage citizens in discussing regional public
affairs. Topics include politics, economy, culture, and "One country,
Two systems."
Chatter Garden is named after "Chater Garden," the park next to the
government Legislative Council building, and a popular gathering place
for local political rallies.
I'm proud of the students'
work, and hope you'll check out the site.
