• China copies google

[quote]BEIJING (Reuters) – A Google knock-off has surfaced in China to compete with the world's largest search engine, while at the same time pleading with it to stay in the country despite censorship and hacking allegations. Adding to China's reputation for copies of items such as designer clothes, coffee chains and DVDs, "Goojje" began vying with Google on January 14, the Henan Business Daily reported. Google Inc had said two days earlier that it may close its Chinese Google.cn portal and pull out of China. The name chosen by the newcomer is a play on words. The final syllable "jje" sounds like the Chinese word "older sister," while the "gle" syllable of "Google" is pronounced like the Chinese word for "older brother." Goojje ([url]www.goojje.com[/url]) has a search engine and provides social networking services. Its home page bears a Google-styled logo that combines hallmarks from the "older brother" and China's top home-grown search engine, Baidu Inc. "Sister was very happy when brother gave up the thought of leaving and stayed for sister," the website says, in an apparent call for Google to stay in China. Google was not immediately available for comment about the Goojje site. Earlier this month, U.S.-based Google complained of censorship and a sophisticated hacking attack from within the country. Keyword search results in Goojje give slightly different results than Google or Baidu but appear to be similarly filtered to avoid content China deems sensitive. The Henan Business Daily said Goojje was founded by a female college student in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong. Contacted by Reuters, Goojje's web host declined to give details on the site's owner.

This is hilarious
[QUOTE=radioactive;19883911]How about we Goojje bomb Fucking Incredible?[/QUOTE] I concur with this plan. EDIT: Decided to test their filtering; they may well not bring back relevant results for porn, but "bondage" and "ball gag" go through just fine. Selectively perverted officials ahoy.
Searched brainwash, has nothing to do with brainwashing.
The goojje is a lie
China, you have disappointed me. [editline]11:00PM[/editline] again

[QUOTE=Umi-hebi;19883777]How do you pronounce "goojje"? I can not for the love of god pronounce two J's in a row[/QUOTE] "Goo" part is still pronounced the same as in "Google" the "jje" part is pronounced like "jeh" of course, then there's the tones, but white people don't know how to pronounced Chinese tones properly. Goo(1st tone) and jje(3rd tone)
This is all because google may pull out of china because of their human rights violations.
Toastedspyro, what are "tones"
