Google mum on plans for Google.cn search engine | The Australian - 0 views

  • No area of business in China is more politically sensitive than the internet, or more heavily regulated. China bars foreign companies from owning an “internet content provider” licence to deliver services in the country. For that, Google needed to partner with a Chinese company, which holds the ICP licence from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, to provide its services in China.
  •  
    A GROUP of Google's partners in China have sent an impassioned plea to the internet giant, saying their businesses are in jeopardy if Google closes its Chinese search engine, and demanding to know how they will be compensated.
  •  
    The deal has been done, it's only the matter of how Googld deal with those partners and its financial problem accordingly.

Why Wikipedia Should Be Trusted As A Breaking News Source - 0 views

  • "The media collaborated with itself and it was one big swirling newsroom on Twitter," said Guzman. "We ended up using tweets as starting points. And Twitter did end up breaking a bunch of stuff."
  • we often accept news from other blogs as immediately trustworthy, while a Wikipedia article such as this one, which is transparent in its creation, its sourcing and its transmutation over time, we dismiss as flawed from conception.
  •  
    Traditional media get bits of breaking news wrong all the time, but we accept that as part of the game. To vilify Wikipedia for the same errors sets unequal standards and besides, you'll likely never see the same level of transparency in traditional media about where it went wrong.

Google.cn search engine close to being shut down in China | The Australian - 0 views

  • Google's closure of Google.cn would leave the internet in China almost entirely dominated by local companies.
  • That helps the Chinese government's efforts to control information, because it can more easily control local companies, but it means foreign participation in one of the fastest-growing parts of China's economy will be limited, and it leaves Chinese users increasingly isolated.
  • Beijing wouldn't go that far because it would risk infuriating millions of users.
  •  
    GOOGLE appears increasingly likely to close down its Chinese-language search engine, in a step that would remove one of the last major foreign players from the world's most populous and fastest-growing internet market.
  •  
    Even with existing knowledge of the limitation that China government has in term of internet, I still find this quite surprising. Funny enough that as a Taiwanese, we've been taught that how strickly and misarable our Chinese friends live there; as years go by, we've been told again that what our old belief of our Chinese friends is no long true and those people are actuallly "set free." Apparently, there are still lots of unbelievable limits for our Chinese friends in internet wise.
