I don't like baidu because I don't like reading large amounts of Chinese.
I prefer english when possible.
I dunno why :P
Because, 'Murica

(I do realize English is not American and many countries have it and many people here aren't American XD, just a saying :p)

Americans can speak english, but cannot write it :trollface:

So treu
You just lost the game.

The funny thing is that way back the founders of google tried to sell their search algo to existing search machines but nobody wanted to buy it so they started their own site.

That's how business is done :P If you don't want it, it may grow to be your strongest competitor.

Google (and services) is currently blocked in China (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_China_censorship_of_Google_services).

It's also a reason to move back to North America or Europe :trollface: ( I actually want to visit China one day, tho)

What sucks is that Google provides more and more services so if at one point a filter blocks Google as a whole then people dependent on it are in big trouble. >.<
