So the New York Times runs a story titled A Party Girl Leads China's Online Revolution. It a story about a blogger in China who goes by the name Mu Mu. (side thought: Maybe I should nominate her for MuNu, then her url could be MuMu.Mu.Nu) There are pictures of Mu Mu There is even a good description of what Mu Mu is doing online."I don't know if I can be counted as a successful Web cam dance girl," that early post continued. "But I'm sure that looking around the world, if I am not the one with the highest diploma, I am definitely the dance babe who reads the most and thinks the deepest, and I'm most likely the only party member among them."

Thus was born, early in July, what many regard as China's most popular blog.

Sometimes timing is everything, and such was the case with the anonymous blogger, a self-described Communist Party member from Shanghai who goes by the pseudonym Mu Mu.

A 25-year-old, Mu Mu appears online most evenings around midnight, shielding her face while striking poses that are provocative, but never sexually explicit.

She parries questions from some of her tens of thousands of avid followers with witticisms and cool charm.

Here's a bit of unsolicited advice for the Times and it editors. If you're running a story about a blogger in your online edition, you might want to add a link. It doesn't matter if we can't read a word of what's on the site. Add the link.
