Dear Shanghai StartupDigest Readers,

It’s been freezing in Shanghai for the past couple days, but the forecast says it will get warmer next week. While many of you are packing to go home for X’mas, the startup community remains active and is ready to wrap up for year 2011. I will be in Hangzhou next week for the Startup Weekend Hangzhou Chapter and will visit some cool startups in the city. Then I will go to Beijing to attend the Mobile 2.0 Annual event on December 20th. Many well known investors including Zhou Hongyi from Qihu 360 will be there as well.

Btw, did you see the Total Lunar Eclipse on Saturday night? Surprisingly clear sky, isn’t it? If you missed it, here’s a link for you to make it up.

If you’d like to share any exciting news or events with us, please send an email to me [at] bob.zheng@thestartupdigest.com or Calvin [at] calvin@thestartupdigest.com.

Cheers,

Bob & Calvin
