May 26, 2010 at 2:43 PMSo I was almost correct the first time! Just forget the 的.
Is this a natural way of saying it, or is there a more natural way?

我认识的所有的人都是谦虚。
Does that make any sense?

May 26, 2010 at 9:44 AMJohn, I found out what a podcast was 15 months ago when I discovered Chinese Pod. I took to it because I found it to be a useful concept. You say in this podcast that on Twitter you 'send out little messages about your life'. To whom? And more importantly, why?? Who reads these messages, and why do they want to read them? Who would want to know that your class is boring and you want to sleep (to use the example in the dialog)? Are people really this tragic?

May 26, 2010 at 2:52 AMYes. I've never encountered Sina as a noun before, only as part of the adjective Sinitic. And I've only recently worked out what a blog is, but I still don't understand why people would waste time reading other people's personal blogs (although one like the CPod blog can be useful). Never heard of a microblog before, though I've just read the lesson description - how is it useful to restrict entries to 140 characters? I have about 3 times that in this short comment.

But I still don't get it. If you want to converse with someone interesting, why not send them mail or, god forbid, actually get on the phone and talk to them? I don't understand why you would want to broadcast your daily life for all and sundry to read. I just don't understand - what do people achieve by using twitter that they can't achieve by normal means? - what will I have achieved by twittering with someone who I could have just talked to instead?
