She is being touted as China's first virtual celebrity, a little like the Eidoru of William Gibson's novels who exist only as bits and bytes but become more popular than flesh and blood actors and singers. E Xinxin is a real human being, but many of her 'performances' are as model for the cartoon and video game characters that use her name.
This is translated from a Sina.com page about E Xinxin:
The real person behind E Xinxin has signed to Jiuzhou Yahua Talent Management Company; E Xinxin is her stage name. In the real world, she is a performer whom Jiuzhou Yahua hopes to develop as a star for movies, TV and music. In the imaginary world, she also has all types of virtual roles in many works, including E Xinxin's 3D cartoon movie, E Xinxin's epic cartoon book, a non-playing character in network games, and as a virtual TV presenter in TV programs.
Before she became E Xinxin, she was known as Li Xinyu (李欣娱 ), which also looks like a stage name.
Her blog includes many photos of her in skimpy clothing, and descriptions of her current experiences in Shenzhen working as model for a computer generated movie. She writes about how men prefer to look at women's upper bodies, illustrating her point with many photos of her ample cleavage. She tells readers why she deleted comments calling her a slut, and describes her vision of a woman's passions, ambitions and basic characteristics. And she is very happy that her blog has had more than 30,000 visits since she started it.

A few days ago, Mike Liebhold on Geowanking expressed concern over privacy of personal information in the context of the “Locate Me” feature in Windows Live Local. This has been discussed further on BoingBoing and O’Reilly’s Radar; so we thought of adding some clarity on what goes on behind the scenes in this application and with your information.
When you visit the Windows Live Local and hit "Locate Me", Location Finder sends signal strengths and MAC addresses of nearby wireless access points and standard HTTP request information such as your IP address to the Microsoft online location service. The online service calculates the user's location from a database of known access point locations and returns an approximate longitude and latitude. If this method fails, other methods may be used such as IP address lookup.
During this process no personal information such as your name or contact information is sent to Microsoft by Location Finder service. Also, Location Finder service was designed with concern for your personal information; secure methods such as SSL are used when transferring location information between your machine and the Microsoft location service. Since the Location Finder will only determine your location information when you visit the Windows Live website, we will not share your location information with other web sites. Also note that the Location Finder does not include an option for forwarding or sharing user location information with third parties. It is designed to work with the Windows Live web site only. Location finder can not track users. Your location is only determined when you explicitly click the “Locate Me” link at Windows Live Local and no user has the ability to determine another user’s location.
We believe that you deserve to have your personal data used only in ways you have agreed to that provides value to you. Our privacy policy prohibits the selling, renting, or leasing of your information to other companies.
We hope this clears up some of your concerns – but let us know if you have more questions, concerns and comments – would like to address them so that you can just enjoy the power of real-time location at your fingertips!
