Google pest a.k.a. Bing steps up promotion in China

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Here is an article from PCWorld.com that highlights Microsoft intentions to step up promotion of Bing in China. China might be the only market where Google doesn’t reign supreme on top of the search engine (SE) market. In China the SE crown is worn, for now, by Baidu.com. Baidu has a majority of the SE market share and this post from an MSN blog does a great  job explaining why.

If Bing can capitalize in international markets it is certainly a start. Regardless the little (really big) “decision engine” that could has gotten Google’s attention before. It remains to be seen if they can creep past 15% market share, at least.

Blog Ethics

I was about to write about an article I read on PCWorld.com today, but stopped to read an email. The email mentioned a company so of course I went to their site and ended up reading their blog and had a thought. Having your own blog is great, reading other blogs is great, but reading a blog and realizing the topic is a regurgitated story without giving any credit really feels like online plagiarism.

The topic was “Bing in Chinese“, a topic that blew up on Twitter and the blogosphere in late May. It was on TechCrunch and BrandInfection, so I will share the links here for those that didn’t see it back then.

Enjoy!
