预计互联网将在北京奥运会中发挥更大的作用。北京奥运会是自谷歌(Google Inc.)旗下YouTube及少数人控股公司土豆网等令网络视频传输易如反掌的网站大行其道之后首次举行的奥运会，也是新闻集团(News Corp.)旗下MySpace等社交网站蓬勃发展起来后的首届奥运会。

What can Facebook and Western social networks learn, if anything? If monetizing a social network is so easy, then why hasn’t Facebook opened up its payment API to third party developers? While the aggressive and intrusive hyper-viral aspects of the apps in China may not be replicable in a Western Market, the problems for creating a more viable business model run deeper. Western companies cannot innovate in the same way due to institutional problems stemming from their own struggle for an identity and revenue. Facebook has just recently announced a “credits” system, but it seems to miss the mark. The new system demonstrates little incentive for users to shell over money, and does not speak to the same need as paying for a social application that all your friends are already on and talking about. Facebook may be afraid to become a marketplace for applications, because they are reluctant to be labeled as a social gaming network or a social app store. Instead, they are a self-styled guru of dynamic human interaction. If they opened up their platform to become an apps store, their major revenue streams would put them into a pigeonhole, calling their $15 billion valuation into question. They obviously don’t want to be labeled as a “gaming platform” either, and don’t want to fully depend on selling digital trinkets. Like during the American gold rush in 1849, where Chinese merchants prospered while most prospectors went bust in search of striking gold, it appears that building viable, scalable businesses for Social Networking sites may still be an ancient Chinese secret for Westerners.

作为总统候选人，在MySpace.com他比他的共和党竞争对手、参议员麦凯恩拥有4倍多的好友。而在Facebook，奥巴马有将近300万支持者，并拥有约10亿的e-mail地址庞大数据库。

最近由皮尤研究中所做的调查发现有33%的人从互联网上获取大部分消息2008年总统竞选信息，而在2004年比例仅在10%。

在上周那决定历史的投票结束后不到24小时里，奥巴马的交接团队推出了change.gov网站，承诺此将成为最新消息，活动和宣告的来源地并因此获悉参与奥巴马的决策过程。

Cindi Rigsbee, for example, makes sure her students know when text language is appropriate and, more important, when it's not. She talks frequently in class about types of writing, the intended reader, and the evolution of language. At the beginning of each school year, she introduces a discussion about the way English has transformed over time. "We look at Old English, Middle English, and what was contemporary English in the time of Jane Eyre. Then I show them a MySpace page."

简而言之，即，非成年人（成年人，文中为可签订合同的年龄）不得使用google服务。 所以，18岁以下不可以搜索，看图片，新闻，youtube，gmail……

著名的SNS网站FaceBook册标明用户必须在13岁以上 ，MySpace则是14岁

第一次称呼用谷歌来称呼Google中国，我是被迫的。虽然Google中国在开发者眼里不够Google，但是总比百毒好。

用google.com搜索；用twitter推信；用yahoo.com电邮。不用bing，有病的才用；不用baidu，百度有禁忌；不用facebook.cn，我（何健）不想被废；不用myspace.cn，我不卖身。凡是XXXXXXX.cn我（何健）都罢用。用火狐，因为反对微软；不用苹果，因为囊中羞涩。这就是我（何健）的互联网生活！！！——摘自《何健语录》
