终于来了，李开复这一次要好好的和百度叫一下劲了。作为Google和李开复的忠实粉丝，我真的很激动。一直不喜欢百度那质量粗糙而又有版权争议的音乐搜索。亲自体验一下Googe的音乐搜索，一如既往那样干净的界面，稳定的下载质量，很棒！

这次谷歌聪明的和巨鲸网合作，一个专心做技术，一个做市场（签约大大小小的唱片公司），虽然还没有完全的把握做到很好的盈利模式，但是这决定是一个新的起点，而且相比百度是“正义的”。给我的感觉如同是当年Taobao的横空出世。用李开复的话说 "其实，目前这种免费下载的模式到底多大程度能转化为商业收入，李开复也不确定：“对于我们来说，最重要的是先找到用户。如果我们只能拿到1%的市场份额，绝对没有任何商业模式。但如果60%或70%的市场份额，绝对有商业模式。"

谷歌的模式，将是 彻头彻尾的互联网式思维：按照互联网界的规律，向个人用户收费是非常困难的事情。向个人用户是无条件免费地提供好用的产品，吸引到大量用户之后，把这些用 户卖给广告主，赚广告主的钱。据记者了解，谷歌和巨鲸网将从广告中获得超过50%的分成，其余部分给唱片公司和词曲作者。

Have been looking at this area for few years, the product that we are using now is call Nsurvey which I sourced many years ago and it’s a free code on ASP platform but it’s not been updated any more.

Today I got another two alternatives, one is from http://www.freepolls.com, it’s not free but extremely cheap and they claimed that they the leading provider. Another one attacked me from sourceforge.net, called "limesurvey". You can either download and setup your own survey portal, or use thier free SaaS "www.limeservice.com", the unique thing is that they charge by bandwidth which is more reasonable and damn cheap.

Still searching free code for vote / survey? No, SaaS is the future of Software.

世界进步的太快，很多词我还是第一次听说。原文出处

GOOGLE, the world’s top search engine, is getting into the beginning of year spirit. It recently published its annual rankings of China’s new hot words. These words reflect major events that took place during the past year. Here are the top 10.

1. 山寨copycatting

This Chinese term literally refers to the mountain strongholds of bandits. First borrowed to describe rip-off products, it has evolved to refer also to homemade products, such as video parodies of movies.

2. 囧be sunk/sunken

This is an ancient Chinese character, pronounced jiong. It means "light shining through a window". Young Chinese use it to express embarrassment, or a bad mood. Look at the character. Doesn’t it look like a disappointed face?

3. 很黄很暴力very pornographic, very violent

During a CCTV interview about a new Internet censorship regulation, a girl said that an uncensored Web page once popped up on her computer. She called it "very pornographic, very violent". Some believe the girl was told to say it by CCTV, so it is now used to mock the way the network covers news.

4. 槑nuts

Pronounced méi, the word is a variant of the word for "梅". But it also looks like a double version of the character 呆 (dai), which means stupid. So netizens have borrowed it to mean "very silly or very stupid".

5. 叉腰肌Psoas muscle

Xie Yalong, the former head of the Chinese Football Association, once criticized women players, saying they have weak Psoas muscles. (This is the muscle that links the trunk to the legs; it’s important for motion.) However, nobody, including the players, knew where the muscle is. This quote is now used to mock Xie, who was recently removed from his position.

6. 打酱油get some soy sauce

When a person in Guangzhou was asked to give his opinion of the sex scandal involving Hong Kong star Edison Chen (Chen Guanxi), the man answered, "It is none of my business. I am just out to get some soy sauce." People have since begun using the words to mean "it’s none of my business".

7. 泡良族 pick-up artists

This expression refers to men who seduce married women.

8. 凤凰男Phoenix man

This expression refers to a man who grew up poor and in the countryside, but later moved to a big city and married a city girl. Due to the couple’s different backgrounds and habits, they often encounter problems.

9. 做人不能太CNN don’t be too CNN

It emerged in response to foreign media’s coverage of Tibet. Many Chinese thought it was biased. It gained more popularity after CNN commentator Jack Cafferty’s rude talk of China.

10. 三个俯卧撑three push-ups

A girl in Guizhou was rumored to have been killed by the relatives of local police officials. However, a local government official claimed the girl’s boyfriend said the girl had jumped into the river when he was doing push-ups. The popularity of the term signals people’s doubts over the story.
