Google have come to the last straw with China and may pull out due to the constant restraints set by the country. But Chinese people have already got a replacement lined up, Goojje launched on January 14^th this year.

Goojje has a search engine and provides social networking services. It also has a Google-styled logo in it’s homepage. The name, Goojje, was chosen by the new search engine due to it’s play on words. The final syllable “jje” sounds like the Chinese word “older sister,” while the “gle” syllable of “Google” is pronounced like the Chinese word for “older brother”.

It’s funny how Goojje was launched just as Google gets hit with massive restraints and sophisticated hacking. Conspiracy?

If it’s not enough for Google to dominate the Internet, it has gone and got word of the decade as well as voted by the American Dialect Society (ADS).
In its annual Word of the Year vote, the society said the use of the word Google, meaning “to search the Internet”, came because almost everybody on the planet uses the term.
Other finalists included “9/11”, “Facebook”, “blog”, “text”, “Wi-Fi” and “war on terror”. But none quite had the Google effect.
The 119 year-old society confirmed members include linguists, lexicographers, grammarians, historians, researchers, writers, authors, editors, university students, and independent scholars.
“In conducting the vote, they act in fun and do not pretend to be officially inducting words into the English language,” it added.
But one thing all these geeky people know is Google is the word!

Feeling sorry for yourself? Need more Facebook friends to show people your cool? Well help is at hand, an Australian company, uSocial, is charging £125 for blocks of 1,000 friends on Facebook and Twitter.

Chief executive, Leon Hill, confirmed an unprecedented surge of inquiries about his service over the Christmas period.

He told The Sun Newspaper: “Social networking sites can be cruel if you’re unloved – they show exactly how popular you are.

“People are buying pals so they have more mates to chat to, rather than sitting alone on their PCs.”

On the one hand this is a very sad side of social networking, how pathetic must people be to want to buy theirselves friends? But on the other hand, people may also want to promote their services or business and I guess there’s nothing wrong with that.

Lawyers for Facebook have also tried to get the service shut down.
