search in China

Thursday, April 5th, 2007

Aydin Senkut has a very good review of the search market in China on R/RW. I don’t have too much more to add to his observations other than some long-range opinions. I think the only thing that Senkut didn’t mention which he should have are the P/E ratios of the various companies which may help explain corporate strategies to a certain extent.

Xbox.com supports Firefox

MajorNelson.com is Microsoft’s community blog for XBox Live. Recently they announced support for Firefox in an area (Gamerpicture) that they had previously not supported.

The Future of Web 2.0

Last fall Mozilla Japan sponsored The New Context Conference 2006, and Mitchell Baker from Mozilla spoke on the topic of the potential of open source in business.

Joi Ito alerts us to the fact that the presentations from that conference have been put together into a “mook” (magazine-book) called WEB 2.0 の未来。(BY Digital Garage, Inc.)

Mitchell’s presentation (in Japanese) is here.

I need a few days to pull together my thoughts on our recent business trip to Beijing, but I wanted to share the photos that I took (too few) asap. Below is a photo of the offices of Mozilla China Foundation, which is housed in the Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ISCAS)
