Reading Time: < 1 minute Google is doing everything to become the king of the Internet. The holiday promotion of Google Check out is targeted towards eBay’s Paypal; in the search market it’s continuing gaining market share from Yahoo, although I still like Yahoo Mail better than GMail 🙂 eBay is not standing still, it’s raising the listing fees.

Reading Time: < 1 minute Keso (Hong Bo), an outspoken blogger in China, summerized his views about the Internet in China in his blog.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Google buying YouTube is a big news for the web 2.0 community. Its effect is felt more than that (I got two emails from friends regarding this :-).
