Online Culture Differences
Americans are used to thinking about popularity in terms of English language brand giants like Google and eBay, but abroad many of those big names are sideshows.

		<description><![CDATA[
如果有人問你美國十大最受歡迎的網站，你大概可以很快的說出幾個耳熟能響的網站像是谷歌, 臉書, ebay, 和維基百科。
但是你可以說出中國十大最受歡迎的網站嗎？
我們所認為的網路其是是由幾個最常用的網站所架立起來的。但是, 這些網站可是因國而異。
隨著所有的企業持續尋找新的市場，尤其是在亞洲，想要成功的打進亞洲觀眾的市場，知道當地的網站趨勢變得最重要不過了。
接下來就利用Alexa的中國最多人流覽的網站排名來測試您的對中國的互聯網世界的知識與了解吧：
1. Baidu.com
百度就好比是中國的谷歌。這是最流行的搜索引擎，索引超過 7.4億的網頁，80萬張圖片和1000萬個多媒體文件。百度也是第一個中國公司在納斯達克上市的上市公司。
2. QQ.com
在中國沒人使用AIM或谷歌聊天。在中國，QQ主宰著即時信息平台，而其用戶為300多萬名。它包括了視頻，網上購物，搜索，遊戲和鈴聲下載。
3. Google China
儘管谷歌在中國落後於百度搜索，谷歌的中國引擎仍然有30％的搜索市場並吸引了3.380億互聯網用戶而站穩了中國網站的前三名。
4. Sina 新浪新闻中心
成立於 2001年，Sina.com是全球最大的中文娛樂門戶網站，擁有差不多100萬註冊用戶。用戶可以閱讀新聞，與其他人討論，和瀏覽照片。
5. Taobao
淘寶網是由阿里巴巴集團，擁有百分之78的中國國內網絡線上消費，它就像是中國的亞馬遜網站。以其超過170萬的註冊用戶，它已成為人們在中國主要的電子商務網站。
6. Google
Google 英文網也以卓越的網路流量而擠進了中國前十大網站。
7. 163.com 网易
163.com是一個快速發展的網絡門戶網站，現在每年已有180萬瀏覽人次。該網站主要專注於線上遊戲，而大多數的人都在玩線上遊戲當他們去163.com。
8. Sohu 搜狐
搜狐是另一個中國的搜索引擎。它提供最新的新聞，信息，娛樂和通信。它同時也吸引了2.5億名訪客去玩它的線上遊戲。
9. SOSO 搜搜
搜搜是QQ的姊妹公司 &#8211; 兩者都是網絡巨頭騰訊的旗下公司。它正在中國迅速的增長，並以分享照片，娛樂和音樂萊吸引廣大的用戶。
10. Youku 优酷
中國自主開發的YouTube已吸引了1.49億個用戶，而57萬名用戶來自於網吧。它的2009年年收入為人民幣2億。僅僅在2009年10月, 用戶總共花了2.29 億個小時在該網站上收看視頻。

It’s been a while since Sramana Mitra has defined “Web 3.0”.

And the trends are increasingly bearing out that description.

隨著手機網路的技術日益成熟和普及,越來越多公司利用手機網路的方便性來開發它們新的產品，而社交網站就是一個最好的例子。最近最受矚目的莫過於Foursquare了。Foursquare是一個以所在地為基礎再加上整合了遊戲內容的社交網站。 當用戶到了一個地方就可以在手機上用Foursquare “報到” (check-in)以取得分數或徽章, 在同一個地方裡, “報到” 越多的人就可以變成 “市長” (Mayor), 而“市長” 有時還可以獲得特定的促銷。
雖然Foursquare還算是相當新的公司，但是在短短幾個月就吸引了40萬位瀏覽人數，而隨著Foursquare已經越來越受歡迎，最近更多人在談論的就是Foursquare 和Intel 的合作。在今年的消費者電子展(CES 2010)，Intel充分利用了Foursquare來吸引大眾的目光也更進一步達到了宣傳的效果。 

隨著以所在地為基礎的社交網站越來越受到矚目, 以讓用戶分享自己去過的地方的經驗而出名的Yelp也加入了競爭的行列。 雖然還不知道最終誰可以在所在地為基礎的社交網站中領先群雄, 但毫無疑問的是, “報到” (check-in) 這個新的點子將會越來越常出現在我們日常生活中。
