Blog-movie

I came into this late, so I’m having trouble backtracking through press: the latest video-meme, a movie that a couple of famous bloggers made for 840 RMB.

Mao blocked by Google

Mao

Some guys were playing a game: to see who could modify their webpage so that their blog came out before the other in Google’s search when using Mao’s Little Red Book search words. Unfortunately they hit a problem! Certain keywords were blocked and their blogs didn’t come up on Google at all!

cnboo and Aeboo!

Cnboo

A place to share audio/podcasts. The catch? Multiple peer one-line reviews.

Aeeboo

Their goal (roughly translated) is to provide a free place where you can create and share your own internet tv or radio channel. Think TiVo + uploaded content. Copyright issues? Bah.

China’s p2p market growing quickly

According to a report issued by the China Internet Development Research Center (CIDRC), under the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, China’s online p2p/c2c market tripled its size to roughly 1.7 billion US$ in 2005, as compared to 2004.  [Note: online search for the CIDRC doesn't reveal a website in Chinese or English, only a few references to 中国互联网发展研究中心 in other Chinese articles]. 

Taobao is the top online auction site by far, with 70% of the market.  Taobao is owned by Alibaba, which is partly owned by Yahoo…so Yahoo is beating eBay in this particular proxy war.

Chinese stealing virtual property

Mainland Chinese are becoming famous for their hacking and farming capabilities.  The latest: a South Korean  network security company tracks down a ring of virtual item hackers participating in mass theft from tens of thousands of South Korean "Lineage" players:

During the period from May 2005 to February
2006, South Korea reported about 4,000 online game theft cases, in
which South Korean online gamers were hacked via hacking programs known
as malware and lost their online game accounts, passwords, as well as
virtual items.
