Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

Is there a way to feed my progress and reminders into Weibo similar to the way you currently feed into Twitter?

nick   June 30th, 2011 1:10p.m.

Nope. We needed to do a fair bit of work to get the authorization working to post things to Twitter on your behalf, which I don't think we'll do for 微博, which I'm guessing few Skritterers use. Unless there is a way to feed Twitter or Facebook into 微博...

Sorry!

There's a way to import RSS and Atom feeds into Facebook. Maybe weibo supports something similar?

By the way, I used to Tweet my Skritter status but my Twitter friends all complained.

I Tweet my Skritter status and actually had a friend thank me for sharing Skritter with her. I set my updates to only occur every 10 days, so it wasn't super annoying, and Twitter is all about self editing what you read and don't read... so if your friend didn't like it.. don't read it.

I honestly assumed lots of Skritter users would use 微博 as it is an excellent tool for practicing reading and typing Chinese. I 微博 far more than I Tweet or change my Facebook status.

@rashphoto "if your friend didn't like it.. don't read it" So can I send you lots of spam then? ;)

Same here, I use Weibo a lot, not necessarily to practice typing/reading as I work in a chinese environment but mainly because Weibo is the gateway to the Chinese (HK/TW included) cyber space,

"...or change my Facebook status."

Wow, feels like being in a time machine. You cannot "change" your Facebook update since...2008! ;-)

If it is anything like the plurk.com API, the code to do integration would take less than an hour. Not that I want to plurk zero words learnt every day (:

Speaking of weibo, apparently it won't let you search for "river" (江) any more:

same for all the search engines, Google, Bing etc.

This has led to the curious situation that Chinese can't search about their own rivers anymore.

So, just now I'm searching some dutch word, it works, then for fun I add 江 behind it and yes, Google and Bing are unavailable for like 15-30 minutes. @.@

Found an app that will sync to Weibo from Twitter:
