Facebook looking to move into China? Posted: 20 Dec 2010 02:18 PM PST At the moment Facebook is blocked in China – thanks to the great firewall of China. Facebook is looking to soon push north of 600 million users. Many western internet companies have failed to capture the Chinese internet market – mainly for 2 reasons. 1. Government intervention/ policies 2. The western companies do not understand the Chinese market as well as they think they do. Mark Zuckerberg has gone to China to meet Robin Li, CEO of the largest search engine in China – baidu.com Maybe Mark is now looking to enter the Chinese market and no doubt Baidu can assist in making this happen. Facebook will still have to abide by strict Chinese government rules, and may need to even alter the site for Chinese users – however China does represent a huge untapped market for Facebook and no doubt something they are looking to capture. It will be interest to see if anything unfolds over 2011 between Facebook and Baidu. © admin for Social Media News, 2010. | Permalink | No comment | Add to del.icio.us Post tags: 2011, 600, Baidu, capture, china, Facebook, Firewall, Government, into, looking, Mark Zuckerberg, market, million, move, policies, Robin Li, rules, to, users

WordPress releases iOS app update – 2.6.3 Posted: 20 Dec 2010 02:01 PM PST WordPress has released an update of its iOS application – version 2.6.3. The update consists of many bug fixes and and has increased support for wordpress.com users which some have said has been overlooked in the application. If you have an iPhone or iPad it would be beneficial to update to the latest version. I personally use the app to manage comments on the fly and its probably easier to manage your comments/ spam through the app than on the computer! However if using a custom these then the application is not idea, as you probably won’t be able to fill in any custom fields via the application. If you are using the app and have any comments do let us know what you think. © admin for Social Media News, 2010. | Permalink | No comment | Add to del.icio.us Post tags: 2.6.3, app, application, iOS, iPad, iPhone, releases, update, WordPress, Wordpress.com, Wordpress.org
