Are Social NetWorks currently capable as Advocatory

What benefit can they REALLY, be to YOU

Chinesegardenscene, took [ what initially was thought a bit scary ] ;

the " bold step," and initially subscribed to some of these .....

some [ even though giants in the West - proved less-than-helpful, initially ]

then, that actually assisted us to locate the likes of ZORPIA & Shtyle.............

These NETWorks, have groups, the likes of: -    I See China

Which are very useful in understanding and sharing in Asian cultures, of interest.

[ let me personally just say here - the members, themselves, have made me

  feel a part of their cultures;  by their friendly and welcoming dispositions.]

What lies - behind the screens ?

In the West, there are some obvious GIANTS............

How ignorant or naive, are we in the West ?

If it were, just about the money !

A WORD OF Experienced CAUTION, Though:

**********************************************************

" Do Not be MISLEAD "...........they CANNOT Replace YOUR OWN FORUMS

**********************************************************

Their Administration, can be found rather IMPERSONAL at times, because of the significant numbers of members;

and CONTROL is largely taken away from Your hands.

Individual and Creative DIFFERENCE, are hardly catered for, we feel.

" He will weigh me in accurate scales and Shang Di, will get to know my integrity."

Written in the wilderness by a very faithful man - nearly 1500 years Before Common Era.

From an ADVOCACY point of view, however - they have definitely served of some BENEFIT;

to us    @  Chinesegardenscene.cn

and as previously mentioned;

three in particular, we feel deserve special mention here, are:

                            Tianji.com    [ China's No.1 Professional Network ]

>>>> perhaps try searching.... John Jeffery

                            Zorpia.com    [ Hong Kong based ]         and

>>>> perhaps try searching.... GardenScholar

                            ShtyleNetwork    [ backgrounded in article ]

>>>> perhaps try searching.... John Jeffery

plus, the interesting addition of:


.............................Twitter.com.......for Instant UPDATES

>>>> perhaps try searching.... ChineseGardens

then of course, there is the Video Channel:


...............................YouTube.com

>>>> perhaps try searching.... treesnpots

all, from whom members in growing numbers, have become friends of Chinesegardenscene.cn;

it's owner and also provided a number of wonderful photographs and useful linkages, that otherwise would probably have remained hidden, to the world at large.

Embedded within Chinesegardenscene.cn,  are now [ as a result ] also,

some supreme authorised,  photographs from the galleries of NetWork FRIENDS.......

                               Creating Social Media Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz


PLEASE visit Sandra-Ng.com from the ^above^ LINKAGE.

AS FOR EXISTING:-   China Gardens & Chinese Garden representations, around the globe.....

Some have already taken advantage of CHOOSING such forums -

                    [ for example,  if You are a Facebook subscriber ]

                    Search    Classical Chinese Gardens

                    Search    Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden

                    Search    Portland Chinese Classical Garden

Because, we at Chinesegardenscene.cn, are still, [ as yet ] struggling to understand the language of the ' motherland; '

There is little point in trying to provide linkage, here for you and / or even attempt to judge or differentiate - between Western & Eastern social networks.

Obviously, it all depends on what your purpose is and where your target audience is.

We will maintain our presence on some of the GIANTS

[ that is English language one's for the time being ] closely aligned with CHINA:

There is a great saying [ we think, anyway ] and it goes something like:

"   The only penjing   [miniature landscape]   that's finished, is a dead one!   "

So we encourage You also, to always keep:

building on, what has come before.
