the marco polo project: 关注并屏蔽着 Blacklist Follower

长 江后浪推前浪，博客过后微博来。在眼下这个“微时代”，新浪微博无疑是微博中的龙头老大。早在一年前（巧了，离今天整整一年），我就曾经（极具洞察力地） 写道：“新浪微博这款产品是一个成功的、典型的创意山寨产品。虽然它脱胎于 Twitter，但是它并没有被 Twitter 局限了思路，在转发、评论、贴图等方面的好用程度已经明显超过了 Twitter，……新浪微博其实比 Twitter 更好用。”

最近，新浪微博 still und heimlich 增加了一个“屏蔽名单”功能（账号 -> 帐号设置 ->隐私设置 -> 屏蔽设置）。你可以通过这个设置“屏蔽”掉你所关注的人中的一部分，而被“屏蔽”的用户虽然仍出现在你的关注名单中，但他们的微博将不会在你的页面上显 示。这个功能乍一看十分多余（不想看某人的微博直接取消关注不就得了？）但仔细想想，你会发现这一举措实在是用心良苦，甚至可以称得上是当代社交网络发展 中的一个创举。想想看，作为一个微博用户，你是否会时而因为那些你实在不想关注但 hindern 于情面不好意思不关注或取消关注的人而苦恼？这些人可能是你的领导、同 事、亲戚、朋友，或者是直接上门“求关注”的人。你不关注我？你不给我面子！而现在，有了“屏蔽”功能，你可以热情地关注他们，但同时神不知鬼不觉地在你 的账户里“屏蔽”掉这些人。我名义上关注你，但用不着看你的微博——既不得罪别人，也不亏待自己，一举两得，皆大欢喜。

就凭这个“屏蔽”功能，我们就可以毫不夸张地说：新浪微博真替用户着想，而且真他妈懂得国人心理。

十分明显，这个“屏蔽名单”功能说白了就是“假关注”功能。这一功能给新浪微博这一社交网络增加了人情味儿，让网络社交变得更加接近生活。

既然“屏蔽名单”实现了“表面上关注、其实不关注”这一功能，那么顺理成章，新浪微博下一步实在应该帮用户实现“表面上不关注、其实关注”这一功 能，名字我都想好了，叫“隐身关注”。试想一下，有了这个功能，你可以放心大胆、不为人知地关注那些你很想关注但不想让别人知道你在关注的用户，不管对方 是你的前任男/女友、你的网上宿敌、你绝对不能公开的 heimlich verliebt（或 phatasieren）对象，还是那些不利于你维护、提升自己形象的微博账号，总之，他们不会出现你的关注名 单中（所以不会被人发现），但你可以尽情的阅读他们的微博。

起初，“Jiangshi Fans” 让新浪微博的粉丝数不可信，现在，有了“屏蔽”功能，“关注”也终于变得不可信了。但“Weibo”的用户会因此更舒服、更快乐，我们开心地织着、织着。“关注并屏蔽着”——这可是一种极高层次的人生境界哦。

As the Chinese proverb goes: “In the Yangtze River the waves behind push on those ahead, and thus, the new generation excels the old.” Microblogs are the next generation in blogging. In this era of all things “micro”, Sina Weibo is no doubt the leading microblogging platform in China. A year ago (incidentally, it is exactly one year from today), I posted (with insightful observation): “Sina Weibo is a successful – and typical – creative knock-off product. Although the idea is taken from Twitter, Weibo is not just a copy of it. In comparison, Weibo is much more user-friendly in forwarding, commenting, and posting pictures. All in all, Weibo is better than Twitter.

Recently, Sina Weibo quietly introduced the ‘blocked list’ feature (Found under Account -> Settings -> Privacy -> Block Settings). With this feature, you can block people that you’ve been following. You will still be their followers – but their updates won’t show up and bug you any more. At first glance, it is a useless invention (just un-follow them if you have had enough of their crap). But take a second thought, and you’ll understand how thoughtful the developers are. They are so attentive to customers’ needs, that you could even consider it a milestone in the development of social networking. Let me put it this way: as a Weibo user, are you suffering from having to follow somebody that you don’t want to follow at all? This might be your boss, a colleague, a relative, a friend, or someone who requested to be followed. If you don’t follow as asked, you are not giving them face, which in a Chinese context could mean anything from respect, care, love, to trust, etc. That could be really rude. However, thanks to the blocked list, you can enthusiastically follow them while secretly ignoring their existence. I am your follower, in name only, therefore I will not be reading your Weibo. Two birds killed with one stone and it keeps everyone happy.

Based on the aforementioned “blocking” feature, Weibo should be credited for being extremely attentive to clients, and they understand the Chinese so damn well!

To put it simply, to blocklist is to fake-follow. The innovation has added a human touch to the virtual world, (Übersetzung Christian Bauer:) Es bringt Social Networking dem echten Leben näher.

Since to blocklist means to fake-follow, logically Sina Weibo should be working on the feature of fake-un-following in the next phase. I’ve already thought of a name for that: invisible follower. With this feature, you can follow anyone you desire without a trace, be it your exes, your enemy online, your undisclosed crush, or people you fantasize but whose image doesn’t suit yours in public eyes. In short, a great fun for guilty pleasure.

At first, the number of Jiangshi fans (inactive followers) casted a shadow on the credibility of using the number of fans as indicators for popularity in Weibo. Now that we can block list , the action to follow itself will become unreliable. Nevertheless, for Weibo users, it will be a more comfortable, happier, and attractive community to engage in. Following yet block listing has taken the joy of the virtual space to another level!

Richard Wilhelm

»Und warum sind die Töne so schmerzlich langgezogen?« Jener erwiderte: »Das stellt die Befürchtung dar, die Landesfürsten möchten nicht zu der Unternehmung herbeikommen.«

»Und warum fangen die Tänzer so früh an, die Arme zu schwingen und mit den Füßen auf die Erde zu stampfen?« Jener erwiderte: »Das bedeutet, daß die Zeit gekommen ist und die Handlung beginnt.«

»Und warum setzen die Tänzer das rechte Knie zur Erde und stützen sich aufs linke Knie?« Jener erwiderte: »Das ist nicht die ursprüngliche Bewegung zur Wu-Musik.«

»Und warum wird der Ton so ungezügelt gegen die Schangdynastie?« Jener erwiderte: »Das ist kein ursprünglicher Bestandteil der Wu-Musik.«

Meister Kung sprach: »Wenn es kein Bestandteil der Wu-Musik ist, was ist es dann?«

Jener erwiderte: »Die Musiker haben die rechte Überlieferung verloren. Wenn die Musiker nicht die Überlieferung verloren hätten, so wäre die Gesinnung des Königs Wu ja maßlos gewesen.«

Meister Kung sprach: »Ja, ich habe von Tschang Hung Ähnliches gehört wie das, was du sagst.«

Bin Mou Gia erhob sich von der Matte und fragte: »Über die Bedeutung des langen Paukenwirbels zu Beginn der Wu-Musik habe ich Eure Belehrung empfangen. Darf ich fragen, was es zu bedeuten hat, daß die Tänzer nach der ersten Pause so lange in der ersten Stellung verharren?«

James Legge

'How is it that (when the performance has commenced) the singers drawl their notes so long, and the pantomimes move about till they perspire?' The answer was, 'To show his apprehension that some (princes) might not come up in time for the engagement.'

'How is it that the violent movement of the arms and stamping fiercely with the feet begin so soon?' The answer was, 'To show that the time for the engagement had arrived.'

'How is it that, (in the performance of the Wu,) the pantomimes kneel on the ground with the right knee, while the left is kept up?' The answer was, 'There should be no kneeling in the Wu.'

'How is it that the words of the singers go on to speak eagerly of Shang?' The answer was, 'There should be no such sounds in the Wu.'

'But if there should be no such sound in the Wu, where does it come from?' The answer was, 'The officers (of the music) failed to hand it down correctly. If they did not do so, the aim of king Wu would have been reckless and wrong.' The Master said, 'Yes, what I heard from Chang Hong was to the same effect as what you now say.'

Bin-mao Jia rose up, left his mat, and addressed Confucius, saying, 'On the long-continued warning (of the drum) in the Wu, I have heard your instructions; but let me ask how it is that after that first delay there is another, and that a long one?'
