Kevin: Tricia Wang writes about the standoff between Google and China and also competition between Google and Chinese search king Baidu. Wang studies tech "usage in low-income communities" and currently "conductin ethnographic work with urban migrants in China". This post is a fascinating, in depth look at why Google hasn't been more successful in China outside of elite internet users who easily navigate around The Great Firewall.

In praise of messiness and noise
Excellent talk from Euan at last year’s Lift Conference, talking about some of the daft attitudes prevalent in management and IT and how they get in the way of knowledge sharing, innovation and, in some cases the basic act of getting on with our jobs.
I love Euan’s comment in the discussion on his blog post too:
People are so much better able to cope with apparent messiness than we have been led to believe. And as you say helping them cope with messiness is better than tidying up.
How are you helping people cope with messiness?
