Google China takes another step to bridge the gap between China internet users and its products by releasing China Discovery Zone (谷歌产品体验中心). Google has displayed 16 products which covers a dictionary tool - 金山词霸 we have introduced in our previous post.

The rollout of the China Discovery Zone beta site is targeted to give a new experience to users who do not have a very good understanding of Google’s products. It offers an array of video, text and graphical illustrations, making it more interactive and usable to the big pool of Chinese net surfers.
Google China has long been lagged behind Baidu (百度) both in terms of ranking and user friendliness.
The latest statistical survey report from China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) noted that the growth of netizens in China has increased to 210 million by December 2007, at an estimated annual growth rate of 53.3%.
China becomes the second largest internet users country, slightly lower than the 215 million of the United States, said the report.

Kelikuru.com is 嘰哩咕嚕, a Chinese term basically means rumbling. The idea comes across TG's mind while watching a cartoon show on TV few years ago. We walk through our life,day by day ; speak to many people, known or unknown, year after year and we may not notice that there are so many wonderful things passing by. Writing a blog can literally leave my foot-prints in the internet world, help me keep the memory. At this moment, a big chunk of my life is closely aligned with user-centric design, user research, web-based environment both in Hong Kong and China. Perhaps I may not be like that tomorrow, I may be in other setting, have nothing to do with usability, but who knows what's going to happen next?
