How $BIDU Struggled With One Blog Post

@isaac2011/3

Baidu.com

3/2011, over 50 writers in China formed anti-Baidu

alliance and publicly condemn the top 1st Internet firm in

China, on it's allegedly pirated use of their works in Baidu

online library without paying licence fee to them...   

One Bloggers @virushuo, published an article 3/26/2011 criticizing Baidu on it's piracy and the differences of Baidu and Google

Baidu, the "best Chinese search engine" then played a tricky game the following 24

hours with @virushuo's article and its spreading...

Then I started recording the further changes to see if there were real human intervention with it's indexing...

The repost link from a popular IT community cnbeta, then removed by Baidu as well, though more other reposts appeared, it seemed a fight between machine and human inside Baidu...

More reposts keep growing... I put a comparison  between Baidu and Google, quite different: Google results very stable... 

Results kept vibrating in Baidu....

In a moment, the original post re-appeared for a while... Baidu confessed? 

No la, the original post re-disappeared, till now... 

From this slide, you can see how the biggest Chinese search engine struggled with one normal blog post and manipulated it's search result which will not sustain it's future fairness.  (more on Baidu's evilness in history)

How can you trust it's future, investors?
