“If you are interested in keeping your body in good shape, don’t go to Sauna often!” , an advice was given to male users by Taobao 淘宝 newly-launched service - Dating. taobao.com (淘宝打听).

Taobao.com 淘宝, currently owned by Alibaba group, is getting deep into users’ lifestyle as it continues to make another pitch to the development of a community tool targeted for quick answers. The new tool is similar to Yahoo Answers with an array of categories covering from fashon accessories, digital products, pets, diet control, beast beauty, entertainment and travel.

In the first glance, TG is under the impression that “dating taobao” is either a social networking or a love matching site, helping users find a soul mate. A women-seeking-men PPC advertising is placed closed to the search result page.
Don’t get it wrong, TG was quickly reminded by a colleague that the name was a Simiplified Chinese pingying.

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?

This is a great wp theme - did you do it yourself? If not, could you let me know who did? I’d be interested. Perhaps you would be interested in making me one for my blog?
