- jotate, on 10/10/2007, -2/+23Chinese search engine. Anyone else thinking of all the internet censorship that takes place in China? I feel as though that might pose a problem for Baidu's global integration...
- Kopiok, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17I am proud of my country's entire internet because it doesn't block websites that the government doesn't want people to see.
- Cyberen, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15Search: Tiannamen Square.
0 Results found. - shiola, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14Investors being curried...hmmmmmm....
- ikillpeoplexx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12More like MMMMMM
- ItsMyWii, on 10/10/2007, -6/+16I know this may sound ignorant on my part, but what is Baidu? I have never heard of it.

- JSchroeder, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8I was invested in Baidu until I read a couple articles that irked me. One pointed out that Baidu does not clearly separate search results from ads and allows illegal MP3's to show up. Another described a study that tracked the eye movements of Chinese Baidu users vs US Google users on the search results page. Chinese Baidu users looked at nearly the entire page before clicking, Google users only looked at the first one or two results before finding what they were looking for. Google has only 20% right now, but that will eventually change as they improve Chinese search and people will eventually tend toward the better product. I still wish I hadn't sold at $180!
- mirzar, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9should we be really worried about a chinese search engine?
- SSCrow, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8The great Firewall of China has their own Search engine? in Which it has the most traffic?
No WAI!!! - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5It will also pose a problem to any student using it to learn about Chinese history
- iFungus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6FOB (sorry)
- fugazi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Never needed to personally since I do not find much time for vacation and European readers often need one because well their country is not as large as ours and they have many countries surrounding them.
- toxicityj, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4no ones worried about some government-controlled search engine.
- thailand1972, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6"Tiannamen Massacre"
http://www.baidu.com/s?ie=gb2312&wd=Tiannamen+Massacre&ct=0 - toxicityj, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4he used it on Pownce, which is the single most annoying ***** retarded stupid ass pointless thing ever.
- trenchfever, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6I don't know why you are being dugg down. But I tell you not many are happy with google's disregard for the establishment. I like google because they do what they can for the global community. They do capitalism as it should be.
- toxicityj, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3What the ***** are you talking about?
- Dillenger69, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Go ahead and do a search on "Tiananmen Square" for web pages and images.
I did and baidu seems to be censored compared to all the non-Chinese search engines. - rootstyle, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Yea *****, I wish google was festering with music piracy too. Thanks as always China. // sarcasm
- Razster, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4You and me both, and I'm a digg user.
What was that one bit of software Kevin was promotting, something with Adobe Air... Forgot the name, anyways... - Sagags, on 10/10/2007, -5/+7oh god now im scared!
- ruitaosu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Shut up and learn
- thailand1972, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Tiannamen Square:-
http://www.baidu.com/s?wd=Tiannamen+Square&cl=3 (1390 results). Therefore, your comment dugg down as inaccurate. - thailand1972, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Interesting.....try this search:-
http://www.baidu.com/s?ie=gb2312&bs=Tiananmen+Square+massacre&sr=&z=&cl=3&f=8&wd=Tiananmen+Square+massacre&ct=0
Now try and search something else. It seems to block your IP address after that search! - Hateyou, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Another Chinese ripoff of a western product. The format is identical to Google. I'm surprised they didn't all it Googoo or something.
- voyvf, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2they've had competition and still do. it's just that they're still leading. i don't see that as a bad thing. :D
for that matter, i'm pretty sure google likes the idea of competition themselves, or at the least, would like it if they really thought about it. after all, competition often provides a stimulus for innovation, and frankly, that innovation is part of the reason why they're still in the lead in the first place.
so yeah, competition *is* good. it provides them yet another reason to do better, which we'll all benefit from. - nicmakaveli, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2I first thought oh Google is gonna go and get Baidu a while back at the time of the IPO.
But know having to search chinese information more and more on the internet i've really figured out a huge advantage Baidu has over Google.
Google doesn't find the right chinese websites!
It's true, if you know some chinese, try to compare both search engine results, google is simply dissapointing.
http://baidoogle.com/index.asp
at some point google will catch up though, gotta wait and see if baidu's lead then is already to big and at first not catchable. - parabiosis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I declare shenanigans. Google owns a part of Baidu! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Google_acquisitions
- arunforce, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Was I the only one who re-read that part to make sure I was reading it right? -.-
- fuzzmeister, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2I'm not sure why people were digging you down, that is certainly an example of censorship not working right there.
- jayhawk, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2i sold at $203 about a week ago. i sort of wish i hadn't as well because i think it's on its way to 250 by the end of the year. the thing about the BIDU stock is that it's *really* volatile . . . i mean it can jump 5% easily 1 day and lose 7% the next day only to jump 8% the next day. if i had free trading, i think i'd become a day trader on just BIDU alone. heh.
- Zap2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1"All shares were sold in June, 2006"
- Zap2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yahoo?, MSN?, Alltheweb.com? MS Live?
- Hateyou, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Sure enough! Just a little taste of communist censorship!
- notloste, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1No wonder it's so popular. Searching for digg on baidu gives this as the first result http://www.digg.cn/photo.php?&page=1 Those stories sure beat RIAA and Ubuntu...
- Youssif, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I found it: http://www.baidu.com/
only type "Baidu" in google !! - davus25, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Google will catch up!
- Zap2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Thats that about sums things up!
- thecoolestguy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1The Chinese government will never let a foreign owned search engine dominate its search market
- enzomedici, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Tiananmen Square is history, but that's censored. Which history should we read? The Chinese government censored version?
- phytonix, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Seems like all people here know about China is Tiananmen Square. That's pathetic. Read some history!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Yes here is -> http://vendeglatas.szon.hu
- 4dahorde, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0i hope it crashes as well as their cars. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1854350546572816207&q=chery&total=595&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0
not to sound racist, but chinese are horrible engineers. - seshomarusamma, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Great post , Koreth
- 01001001, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I bought in at $138. Riding it all the way, baby!
- JBrozetti, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Google is having trouble competing with Baidu in China, and it seems hard for them to try to compete with Baidu when it has over %60 of the search engine traffic in China. This article makes a good point that cultural differences make a huge difference in how and why people search the Internet. If google wants to compete with Baidu in China it must look a the Chinese market from the perspective of an average Chinese user and adapt their site to fit that users wants and needs.
- FinneyFincannon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I'm starting to think Google is censored too. I did a search for Los Angeles and the LA riots didn't immediately show up.
Tiananmen Square comes up for me, but only to describe it as a tourist attraction. I'm guessing people want to see Tiananmen Square as it is now, not as it was almost 20 years ago. - thailand1972, on 10/10/2007, -11/+10Good to see Google get some competition, even if we have to go as far as China to find it. Bad to see my comment dugg down just because I wish Google some competition.
