Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Google uncensoring results in china

http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-approach-to-china.html Interesting read. Ballsy move IMO. They've obviously done a LOT of investigation before making the decision.

We have decided we are no longer willing to continue censoring our results on Google.cn

I wonder would they threaten to leave if the had the same market share in China as they do here. It will be interesting to see what happens but the Chinese government won't be backing down. You want to do business in China you play by their rules.
Google would have be well aware of that before they entered the Chinese market.

my hunch..

Google are going nowhere and this is a stunt to increase market share against BAIKU. (or whatever its called)

They are not about to leave the fastest growing and biggest market on the planet.
