Hi Mike , I am not very geeky person , let me try to explain , correct me if I am wrong, when I say google I mean google.cn ( Chinese google localisation ) and if you click google.cn now it is gone , and it will redirect it to google.com.hk ( Hongkong version ) The main reason google decided to leave China is beacuse in China mainland , it turn out to be very different search results if you use google .cn and google.com it has many consequences
1.what google does is to find the information you want and it is free , so baidu for example , it provide the search results not based on pagerank but based on a lot on who pays the money ,did you get the phone call from Baidu people asking you to pay for the money so that they can raise your rank . 2 google have other services like gmail , google docuement etc , it is possible finally we will not be able to use gmail , however I think it may not ,coz google.com provide the gmail instead of g.cn 3 Foreign company , many foreign company rely on google a lot for their Bussiness and marketing in China , it will create a nervous feeling and harsh Internet reality to foreign company and investors 4 for those of you like me , relying on google to prepare my traning and slides and even lesson plan , it also a disastar , we might need to think abt to survive in a huge Intranet here in China 5 the worst case is China is going to totally block Google.com , let's hope this is not happening at this time . .............. 2010/3/24 Mike Stanga <[email protected]> > I can still get to Google. > > > > Michael Stanga, PhD > > General Manager, AEP-Asia > > mobile: 137 6147 4414 (Suzhou, PRC) > > > > *From:* Wong Leo [mailto:[email protected]] > *Sent:* Wednesday, March 24, 2010 7:32 PM > *To:* Lois Ingles 3; Peter Blackwell; Leigh Blackall > *Cc:* WikiEducator; e; vazins; Ching Ching; [email protected]; Brian > Coffman; Mike Stanga; NELLIE DEUTSCH; Konrad Glogowski > *Subject:* Google has finally stepped out of China > > > > http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/new-approach-to-china-update.html > > If you are in China , or if you travell to China , you can not get access > to Google from yesterday , I mean in Mainland of China > > I don't know what to say , but my hat to Google , a company with Integrity > . > > > > Leo > > -- > Leo Wong > Co-director of HELP in China > -------------------------------------- > http://helpsuzhou.blogbus.com/ HELP > There is something very special and powerful about engaging directly with > the real teacher and real Kids > -- Leo Wong Co-director of HELP in China -------------------------------------- http://helpsuzhou.blogbus.com/ HELP There is something very special and powerful about engaging directly with the real teacher and real Kids -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
