Moderator: Google's localization seems to have taken another step, and Tianya Alliance launched "Tianya Question and Answer" and "Tianya come" two Community products also show Google will be with its biggest competitor Baidu's two products "Baidu know" and "Baidu Bar" point to point confrontation. To this end, Google Global vice president and Greater China President Lee Kai-Fu said, "We have been the most accurate Chinese search engine", "we are very sure that Google is the world's most accurate Chinese search engine." Although Kai-Fu Lee did not evaluate the relationship with Baidu, but such explicit hints clearly tell everyone that they already know more Chinese than Baidu, Lee said: "Google has won all of the 5-6 blind tests held in the past eight months, and we are willing to pick any 10 words to compare the search results."
who knows Chinese better? In the search engine world, it seems that this has become a problem.
Public Judgment
Bin Bin: Each have advantages and disadvantages
Technically, overall is the direction of effort, and precision is just a gimmick. There is a certain contradiction between the comprehensive and the precise. Therefore, search engine companies do not have the idea of dominating the martial arts, it is only the problem of increase or decrease in share. I think Google and Baidu have their pros and cons, as if the use of the Kangxi Grand Dictionary, does not mean that there is no need for Xinhua dictionary. The market is also because of this diversity, to meet the different levels of people at different times of demand.
Shiyanghu: More
with Baidu
Search Chinese information I generally or use Baidu more, think Baidu in this respect than Google China to do a lot better.
-June: Two strong competing
I am satisfied with Google's query accuracy, and now use Google more times. But Baidu's snapshot of the page, stick and Baidu know that there is still an advantage. Two strong dispute, who better to use who chant.
Liu Xingliang: Baidu understands Chinese more
about 2002, 2003, I like to use Google, but now mainly with Baidu, Google just as a helper. This is because individuals think Baidu is more in line with Chinese habits. Admittedly, Google's technology is very good, but the technology and user experience, market share, etc. is not a linear relationship. In addition, Google's snapshot is not used is one of the factors. Because China's internet is developing too fast, many websites often don't open, or slow, which makes snapshots seem very important.
Google is launching a challenge to Baidu
Luebbe Wang
, president of Beijing Hope Consulting Co., Ltd.
I think the first step in Google's localization is to bring up the quality of its Chinese search engine, which has been completed more than a year after it entered China. We are looking for a April search engine quality evaluation has proved that his search quality has surpassed Baidu. The second step, is to take Baidu's successful experience to absorb the past. Baidu's most successful and most creative is two of non-search products, that is, "Baidu know" and "Baidu Bar". From what we've been looking at, Baidu know and Baidu Bar users have a few advantages to search users: The first user stickiness is relatively high, loyalty is higher, he can continue to visit Baidu know and Baidu Bar; second, they can stay more time in Baidu, this is exactly the common problem of search users, They jumped away as soon as they finished using the search. And Baidu know and Baidu Post bar just make up for this, extended the search user's stay time.
Now Google and Tianya cooperation launched the "Tianya question and Answer" and "end of the world to" the two products are belong to Google in the global products do not. The original Google answers equivalent to Baidu know, but he is charged, belong to a more high-end products, and then turned off. These two products are very relevant to China's national conditions, especially the youth-oriented user groups online attitude and purpose. These two products Google has no precedent in the world, Google itself to do, there is a groping stage, more importantly, there is a long-term user accumulation process. And now and Tianya cooperation, itself Tianya has a very fixed user base, and this user group and Baidu know and Baidu Bar user group in the expression is the same. Therefore, Google on this basis to build these two products is very appropriate, and to gain valuable time.
In addition, I suspect that Google's involvement in Tianya Capital would have an option clause that would mean that Google could make further acquisitions. Now it is only 10% less than the acquisition, and in the future Google can continue to buy Tianya more shares. That is to say, the two products in the end of the earth hatch, and so the hatch good success, Google has the option to buy back.
I would also like to point out that Baidu has slowed the pace of improving search engines over the past two years, instead shifting its focus to marketing, attracting more advertisers and making higher incomes. In the Chinese search for this aspect of concern is reduced, if Baidu continues to do so, it may be Google in search quality beyond the overall, which is a worry. And Google recently has a lot of moves toward Baidu, I see Baidu so far has not how to take, the biggest response is a PR strategy, in products and technology has not seen the real response measures. Baidu is a bit of contempt for Google this opponent?
