Google clone Gougou goes gaga
Chinese domain portal, Gougou.com, was shut down yesterday by the Chinese government; this time, for good. The portal, which was made to look like a cheap version of Google, wasn’t just another search engine for the Chinese.

Copyright © 2013 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Silly Chinese hacker obsessed with numbers
The Chinese obsess with numbers, and that’s a well-known fact. Anything from “123″ to “888″ has a special meaning to the Asian nation of 1.3 billion. This all turns to silliness, however, when a wannabe hacker from China attempted to log into our server: IP: 125.76.206.81 (CN/China/81.206.76.125.broad.xa.sn.dynamic.163data.com.cn) Failures: 1 (ftpd) Blocked: Yes [...]
Copyright © 2013 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Sorry that we touched some sensitive chords!
It seems that we touched some sensitive chords with yesterday’s revelation that Chinese domain repository, 4.cn is actively engaging in the fine art of trademark violations.

About time for another DomainGang editorial.
