Post by: starshippe on September 26, 2011, 05:16:22 PM
. . ok, i don't have a real big dog in this fight, but my curiosity is getting the better of me.......

. . do we really have that many folks in china who are interested in these goings on? i noticed baidu as having peeps monitoring the messages here. lotsa peeps, like dozens.

. . google says its a chinese web services company, home ported in beijing.

. . is china initiating a form of our civil air patrol?

It's just a web crawler. It follows links and indexes the pages they lead to. There's probably a dozen instances of Google and Yahoo too.

Baidu is just a search engine.
