Google cooperator Tianya opens an Answer service at wenda.tianya.cn. But according to the server IP, it is running on Google China’s servers. Tianya is one of the biggest online communities in China. Most users of Tianya are clerisy and patriot, accord with Google China user features.

Why on Google server? May be the reason is providing online community service need a government license. But the license only opens to Chinese corporation. So google has to publish it as one cooperator’s service.

Almost every search provider in China has its answer service. The leading one is Baidu Zhidao. Alexa.com shows Zhidao is the 6th service in Baidu, offers 5% traffic for Baidu.com, and now there are 20 million answered questions on Baidu Zhidao.

Four months ago, another Google associate, Tencent published its answer service Wenwen to compete the market.

Adsense Chinese has one feature that allow users to enter their domains to protect his account from malicious clicking. Today I got one interview with Google Adsense support, and confirmed that Google will push it to other languages if users need it very much, such as seriously malicious click in China. In fact, Google doesn’t open it to all adsense users because of high loading of its servers.

I’m sorry for few update these days. But I think this scoop is more exciting.

When you search stock code or company name of China’s stock exchange, Google will show you a stock board contains price, market capitalization, volume and so forth.

Google Finance now also support Shanghai stock exchange and Shenzhen stock exchange, so you may find more info cross Google Finance, for example, Haier in SSE and Shenzhen development bank.

Now on Google Translate, you can suggest your advice for mutual Chinese-English, Arabic-English or English-Russian online translation. Google will collect users’ advice and apply them to their translation results after estimation

Google China Blog says they released a new feature of Chinese search that offers related topics when you search info about cars.

It’s used “more:” expression like search refinements of Google Custom Search Engine. And when you try other keywords without car names, then plus “more:”, you will also find related topics but about cars info. Hah, funny. (Via GSeeker)

From I knew Google, it cached pages can’t be shown in China because of the Internet censorship. Even Google.cn, you can not visit cached pages either. But today, when you search at Google.cn, you may find that ‘Cached’ links were disappeared. GSeeker says that Google China is going to upgrade its cached pages service, in order to make it available.

Now when you vista g.cn, you will redirect to http://www.google.cn/. Wow, the shortest domain for Google. Hey, wait, is it Google’s? As far as know single letter with dot cn domains haven’t been open for register. So I check the whois info of g.cn (CNNIC official whois search service), it shows the owner named Huang Jian. He registers it at eName, a close partner of CNNIC, governor of China’s domains.

OK. It’s nearly clear that there is a traffic hijack for Google China. There are lots of Chinese netizens believe that Google has got g.cn as a fault news said. In fact, a year ago, when Google set company in Beijing, it paid one million dollar for google.com.cn and google.cn.

But, when you search the whois here, you may find there is one item more, “Registrant Organization: 北京刘元和君咨询有限公司” (Jan Liu & Associates), the attorney for Google’s case of googel.com.cn and googel.cn. Has Google really got g.cn? I think Google China will announce it soon.

PS. several single letter dot cn domains are for domain parking now.

Google China released first version of its Chinese input method editor, based on phonetic regulation of Chinese words (Chinese Pinyin). The rumor of it has spread several months on the Internet. And Sogou IME was released when Chinese netizens discussing Google’s.

Google’s IME has some innovative features, such as depositing users’ personal phrase on Google’s server and synchronize it between different computers. You may also find popular words on Internet would be typed easily and accurately. This may help Google to retain users. But Sogou’s IME has many users under its frequent updating.

The IME needs Windows 2000 or higher edition to run and a web browser to show search pages, a small feature to increase its search user number.
