do you have an idea? please share your thaughts in the comments below.
 

it appears that google is seriously closing down in china. executives there said there is 99.9% chance to pull out.

the search engine scene is going to be deeply changed here :

1) baidu is definitly going to gain market shares.

2) bing is probably going to gain market share too, because when chinese people look for something outside of china, they don't use baidu, they use google, because it's foreigner too.... i guess now they will use bing a bit more. specially because microsoft made it clear they were not leaving china.

Ok, I know what they said. They protect human rights and other stuff. But, how come they do it suddenly, they had to follow the government rules since the beginning right, so why do they complain now?

Oh I know, some accounts were hacked! Come on, it’s GOOGLE, every day thousands (or more) of people are trying to hack accounts. It’s bad, but it’s not new.

I have another theory, and I would bet a lot that I am right. Google, the giant, has a weakness that was forgotten, but that the Chinese environment cruelly reminds them.

THEY HAVE ONLY ONE SOURCE OF REVENUES: Adwords. if you attack this one, you attack the heart of their revenue sources.

Microsoft made a deal with the cell phone manufacturer Motorola to have Bing as their default Search Engine in their Smartphones. Motorola will "deploy Bing services on Motorola devices powered by Android." They will also have a widget to boost search, which means that most searches done from Motorola phones will be powered by Bing's algorithm.

Bye Bye website, Hello website. in China you live knowing that at anytime a website can disappear (i mean, get blocked), and another one can appear, released by the chinese authorities.

Today, we have a good news, you've been crying for months about that document you just finished typing when google docs was blocked, well, you can have it back now, google docs is unblocked in china.

Is it linked with the fact that google is threatening to close down in china ... who knows!

Still, stop crying, your google docs are back in china, you can re-start working again, you have no more excuses ;o)

Internet statistics of the world in video for 2009, nice work done by jess3 :

There are 192 millions sold domain names in the world. which means 15 millions more than at the end of 2008.
so we will probably reach the 200 millions this year in 2010.

the .com is the king of domain names, with 84 millions, but the contry extensions are increasing faster.

The chinese domain names for example, the famous .cn is increasing by 467% in one year!

The first european one is the german one (.de) with 13 millinos, the french one has 1.6 millions.

The .com has increased by 7% in 2009.
