Google and Facebook Banned in China

The other weekend, I had a chat with a friend in Shanghai, China through yahoo messenger. We talked about her work there and some personal topics. I also asked her how is the living in Shanghai, China. She told me that she loves Shanghai and she is doing good over there. Her employer are also good. I asked her if she has a facebook account. I was greatly surprised when she told me that Google.com and Facebook are banned in China. I remember what she told as I read the daily German newspaper, Neumarkter Tagblatt this morning. One article today also mentioned that China don't only banned Google but Twitter, Youtube, Flickr, Technorati and other websites. I want to research later what are the inaccessible websites in China. if I am not mistaken these sites are not blocked in Hongkong and Macau where they have their own legal system. This is quite interesting. More updates to come about this.

My Technorati Authority Decreased

I'm back here! I just watched a movie for kids. That's what my dear HB told me. It is a kid's movie that I love. I told him that sometimes we have to be backed in childhood like watching fairytale and fantasy movies. But now, I really wonder why my technorati authority is getting low. I also noticed that some of my blogroll's URL changed to new domain name. Is it the reason why my technorati authority decrease? Or maybe some of my bloglink exchange delete my site to their list. I already caught some. I need to clean my blogroll in a couple of days. Once I don't see my site URL to those who exchange links with me, I am sorry to say but I will also delete you in my blogroll. It seems unfair if you delete my links. Peace!

Google plans to launch web browser

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Google Inc plans to launch a web browser called Google Chrome in a challenge to Microsoft Corp's Internet Explorer, the Wall Street Journal reported on its website on Monday.

The browser launch is likely to be announced soon, the paper said, citing unnamed sources.
Google did not immediately respond to calls and emails seeking comment.

Google Chrome is designed to make it easier and faster to browse the Web, by offering enhanced address-bar features and other elements that are very different from those on other browsers. The product will be open-sourced, meaning others can modify the code, according to the report.

Google has been working on the product for about two years, but work became more serious when Microsoft launched Internet Explorer 7, the Journal said. http://news.yahoo.com

Technorati

I just visited Technorati. My old blogspot blogs which are;

http://rubyfotogallery.blogspot.com
http://theworldwidewebaddict.blogspot.com
http://rubysdailynourishment.blogspot.com
are all domains now with the new domain names below;

http://www.rubybenz.com/
http://www.theworldwidewebaddict.rubybenz.com/
http://www.mydailynourishment.rubybenz.com/

As I want to know my authority, I just found out that both have different authorities. My old blogspots sites have higher authority than the domains.. I don't know exactly if I will put Technorati authority of both old and new websites.

What do you think dear Readers esp. bloggers who know about this???
