The headline “Facebook mulls entering China market” from Sina appears inaccurate. Inaccurate in the sense that Facebook definitely had that in mind and it’s no longer news that the social media giant wants a slice of China market. Only that it’s currently blocked and relatively unknown to China Internet users.

E-commerce sites are one of the most useful applications of companies going online. Through them, shops generate income from alternative sources — if online platform is also itself an alternative — reduce overhead expenses like costs that would have been spent on cashier salaries, buying cash registers or monthly shopping space rentals. That is why it’s not surprising to see sites like Amazon.com and Zappos.com continue to devote resources to develop and improve their e-commerce sites.

Do you remember the first website that you built? How did it look like? I bet you thought that it wasn’t the coolest you have, but at some point you thought that you are already capable of building one nice looking website without compromising its functionality. When we learned Flash, we thought the possibility of designing stunning websites was boundless. Yet at the time when Flash was criticized as bandwidth-hogging, information hiding piece of application, we managed to evolve as successful, up-to-date web designers with the introduction of AJAX, light box and related technologies.

It’s becoming a trend to use location-based social media applications such as Foursquare or Gowalla to update “where I am” using mobile devices. With Foursquare, a user is awarded points upon checking in at certain venues on weekends or non-business hours. When that user has checked in more than anyone else on separate days (in addition to having a profile photo), he or she will be crowned “Mayor” of that venue, until someone else dislodges him or her and earns the title.

You can call it “the mighty has fallen”, but it would probably be more accurate to call it “the mighty has been upended by another mighty”. That’s the case of Yahoo!, the largest search engine portal that ubiquitous with top rankings in terms visitor traffic. Yahoo! is still big, no doubt, but Facebook has proven to be a bigger beast to tame, as the social media giant just pipped Yahoo! from second to third most visited web property in the United States. That’s according to web analytics firm Compete.com.

In the web, those who gets first gets rewarded. The first website that breaks the news probably gets the lion’s share of visitor traffic. The first (and only) person or corporation who registered a popular domain name potentially deserves a cash windfall at some point. The first blogger who writes about a sensational and juicy post gets his or her share of fame.
