Comments on: Ni Hao from Oz: edited http://deswalsh.com/2008/04/09/ni-hao-from-oz/ Social Media Strategy | Business Coaching Tue, 07 Feb 2012 02:18:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Des Walsh http://deswalsh.com/2008/04/09/ni-hao-from-oz/comment-page-1/#comment-1334 Des Walsh Wed, 09 Apr 2008 20:18:38 +0000 http://deswalsh.com/2008/04/09/ni-hau-from-oz/#comment-1334 Tomas Thank you. The underlying document was an audio report, with me reading out selections from a newspaper supplement. I was putting it on the site for the convenience of colleagues in China, but inadvertently posted it as a post not a page (I see you have a WordPress site so you appreciate the distinction). There was nothing particularly sensitive in my reading or comments, more that anyone for whom it was not intended would probably have been somewhat mystified. My first inclination on realising the mistake was to "pull", i.e. delete the post. Then I remembered being at a seminar where someone pointed out that, because the post is already "out there", with directories, RSS feeds etc, having a "page not found" result on a search is not a good look. So for anyone new reading what is here, I hope you'r not disappointed, because I'm still happy to extend the greeting "Ni Hao" = "g'day" from "Oz"="Australia"! Just without the 20 minutes of my reading from a newspaper supplement. :) Tomas

So for anyone new reading what is here, I hope you’r not disappointed, because I’m still happy to extend the greeting “Ni Hao” = “g’day” from “Oz”=”Australia”! Just without the 20 minutes of my reading from a newspaper supplement. :)

I questioned myself what could be better for starting the fellowship than the hearty Hi? And that was the simplicity that marks the private posts. I am so glad for you didn't delete your post. Hi, let edit it (our life) together - let have a fellowship. This is ‘whoops!” indeed. I questioned myself what could be better for starting the fellowship than the hearty Hi?
