• Google beats Baidu.com in a Chinese “taste test”. Personally I would have picked the General Tso’s chicken!

• Does a new study show Google, Yahoo and Microsoft are doomed to failure?
• Techdirt shares a report on using Twitter for business.
• The BuzzMonitor is a new reputation monitoring tool. It’s free to download and Nathan Gilliatt has more info.
