[好文]微軟、Yahoo搜尋合作跟你有何關係?

微軟、Yahoo搜尋合作跟你有何關係?來自ZDNet Taiwan
ZDNET新聞專區:Tom Krazit 2009/07/30 10:54:02

(以下我摘錄重點,全文請看原網頁。這真是值得好好關注的產業大事!)

「大筆」一揮,微軟Steve Ballmer與Yahoo的Carol Bartz週三終於正式簽約,讓微軟瞬間變成全球第二大搜尋公司,Yahoo則成了媒體導向的廣告仲介商。

以下我們從各個要角的觀點來瞭解這起合作有何意義:

Yahoo

得到的:讓Yahoo可在18個月內保有固定營收,且可銷售Yahoo與微軟網站上的所有廣告。Yahoo可省下不少錢。

失去的:Yahoo在搜尋方面已經喪失自主權。

接下來:可能會有另一波重整;也會有另一波離職潮。Yahoo財報會比較好看,且長期而言Yahoo就不需放棄任何一塊業務了。

微軟

得到的:一天內就得到搜尋市佔率;Yahoo的搜尋技術現在可任由微軟挑選。

失去的:跟廣告主的搜尋廣告關係。

接下來:跟Google進行激烈競爭,現在雙方更有理由可討厭彼此了。

Google

得到的:時間。微軟/Yahoo的交易得花上好幾個月、甚至幾年才能完成。Google也可擺脫一些反托拉斯的嫌疑

喪失的:難以再挑逗Yahoo與微軟相互鬥爭。

接下來:目前一切正常,現在兩大對手合作後,Google的壓力或許會大些,但這也是好幾年後的事情了。

廣告主

得到的:廣告預算終於有個比較像樣的第二個選擇了。

失去的:廣告主與兩家公司之間的關係會在未來幾個月變得比較複雜。

接下來:若廣告市場重新復甦,則搜尋廣告的關鍵字、位置與到達率都會有新一波競爭。

消費者

得到的:Yahoo的搜尋頁面會出現「Powered by Bing」字樣。

失去的:少了一個選擇。

接下來:目前還看不出對消費用戶有何影響。(陳奭璁譯)

Bottle Water, Do We Need It?

Thanks to a friend's kind sharing, I saw this slide and thought it valuable to share with everyone who value our environment and value your own health. I understand that for some part of the world, they do need bottle water due to the lack of safe tap water. However, there are many other people who purely enjoy bottle water thanks to its convenience and its supremacy.

Time to change your thoughts. For yourself, for your family and for our world.

P.S. If you are the owner of this file and you think it inappropriate for me to share your file this way, please leave a message and I will remove it. Thanks in advance, for your kind sharing and for the patience.

July 27, 2009, Two Years

July 27, 2007, I took off from Taipei and arrived at Washington D.C. Two years precisely from that date, I am here at home again, Taipei.

Time flies.

Celebrate, with the cherries from NW US, which I loved to eat a ton during that first summer. Will I smell the freshness when I have a bite?

鄧麗君與Michael Jackson的關係.....

我服了鄧麗君,我以為這會是一場軟趴趴的表演,沒想到大師就是大師,她的舞台勁裝,她的舞蹈表演,她眼神的狠度和一舉手一轉身一顧盼的風采,輸了輸了!完全不可以小看小鄧的一代風華!!!

Enjoy!

Who I Am

Standard NTUer- pretty wrapped, hollow inside?
Pretty words, great vision, but not down to earth?
Forget to demonstrate true me to others?
Plan too much & be too careful?
Live on dreams and be driven by ideal?
Take care of everyone else's need but care too less about what I need?

Yes, and No. I have my ruler in mind and I am one of the best judges who can say which are insults or insights. Reflection, necessary. Yet no, I won't let criticism harm me. So thanks, and no thanks.

再見海角

再聽海角。
戲裡浮出你的不屑神色,透出你那不甚苟同的對這裡、那裏的分析。
「看得太認真了,你,」我記得我念過你,「不過就是齣戲。」
一個閃神,我又會想到腿中抱著一隻毛茸茸小動物吹夏夜晚風看戲的夜晚,還有那隱隱約約飄來的飼料臭。

再熟悉也不過。

下午跟一批同學的歡樂會面,勾起整大批整大批懷念的情緒。
我怪他,居然沒有放肆享用芝加哥的夏日就匆匆回國,徒糟蹋了一個我想回也回不去的仲夏。
還有那裏的音樂。那裏的音樂。
同樣的那種音樂搬了家陪我回到這裡,那種熱血賁張的感動不知為了甚麼沒有跟著海運抵達。
想在草地上鋪一席毯子,在陽光下恣意的消耗掉一堆啤酒,
想跳舞的時候跟著樂聲扭動,太舒服的時候就闔上雙眼靜靜的打盹也沒關係。
恨自己,沒有把握住放肆消耗那般特權的機會;
討厭自己,讓你跟這華麗的夢一起留在天邊。

不,我想念的不是國境之南。
恰恰相反,是北方那湛藍湖邊的一隅,可以稱呼她夢境之北嘛?

And I Love You So, G


So that I dare not to sleep. I am so afraid of the feeling that next time when I open my eyes, I am officially an alum, officially not a part of the amazing group....

I said goodbye with three groups of coworkers today- local category team (TW, CN, US, CH), transliteration team (TW, JP, US, CH), and TPE office members. For so many times, I could even feel the warmth transmitted through emails from the other side of the world. Sincerely they are so grateful for what has been accomplished by me, and they are so respectful for my time and efforts. I knew I was extremely lucky to be a part of this beautiful dream. I knew I was privileged.

At this last day, I saw my forth rainbow during my nine-week service. That was, again, an honor, considering the frequency was like..... once a month. I stood by the large window, appreciated the astonishing full circle of rainbow, touched. Deeply. It represented my life here. Indeed. Hopefully, onward as well.

I knew it was time to take off. I knew. I just refused to face the reality. Refused to wake up, from this most beautiful dream, ever.

All documents signed.
Equipment and badge returned.
Elevator 73->59, 59->1.
Last beep after I swiped the card.

The end.

And I love you so.
But I love you so.......

婉容的婚禮-透過婚禮演奏樂團的文章回味

請看愛莉思室內樂的圖文

我當時傻傻的以為那是婉容哪裡的朋友耶!想不到居然是請來的專家,而且還是免費的服務,太神奇了!真的要大推他們,演奏十分的專業,也很有助於整體的氣氛營造。

然後,婉容和Matthew真的很幸福!!!我在婚禮會場專門負責落淚啊~
傳說中我當天也是有照一堆照片的,結果全部因為北京出差還有病病病病耽擱下來就都沒上傳了....

在乎與不在乎

只在一念之間。

她總是太在乎,又不巧的遇到了不在乎的人。
然後她就開始自我說服,一次又一次,洗腦自己放下,指著一團烏煙瘴氣說原來那些都不值得。
問題在哪裡?她已經懶得找。連眼淚都懶得擦了哩.....

「越來越漂亮了喔!」
So what?

叩關十年!台灣大學成功爭取2010世界模擬聯合國會議在台北!

臺灣大學模擬聯合國社(簡稱臺大模聯)日前在全球八個世界級大學的申請隊伍中脫穎而出,成功爭取到2010年世界模擬聯合國會議在臺北舉辦(2010 World Model United Nations in Taipei)。

   明年(2010年)3月,將有超過2000名全球各地學子來臺討論國際重要議題。哈佛大學秘書長Ami Nash將於今年8月底親自訪臺,會見臺大合辦團隊及勘查活動籌備情形。主辦單位也將力邀身兼哈佛、臺大「雙校友」身分的馬英九總統出席開幕式。這股「模 聯旋風」即將掃臺,氣勢銳不可擋。團隊也預計於9月開始招募會議副主席與會期志工,邀請臺灣青年一同見證這份榮譽。

  1994年,臺大模聯的前輩首度參與世界模擬聯合國會議,也是亞洲第一所與會的大學。在感動與啟發下,回國後創立模擬聯合國社,以期激發更多學生對國際事務的關心與熱忱。 歷年來,臺大模聯皆組團參與這世界性的學生盛會,不論在會議場或文化活動中皆有亮眼的表現。為持續推廣模聯精神,臺大模聯從2000年起五度嘗試申請哈佛世界模擬聯合國會議來臺舉辦。經過逐步修正企劃及爭取各方協助後,總算在今年一圓十年夢。

  獲知成功爭取會議後,除了興奮之情,申請團隊亦感激各界的鼎力支持與協助。馬英九總統、郝龍斌市長、經濟部國際貿易局、外交部 、陸委會、青輔會、臺灣大學等各單位在申請期間不吝予以團隊許多寶貴的建議、協助與指導。就讀臺大電機系三年級的團隊總召侯宗成表示:「我們期望號召更多台灣學生參與國際事務,藉由模擬聯合國會議,拓展身為世界公民的思維與視野。」臺大國企系二年級的副召楊涵茜也表示,希望藉此難得機會,將模擬聯合國會議帶進臺灣,也將臺灣行銷至全世界。

  世界模擬聯合國會議創立於1992年,是唯一每年巡迴世界各大城市的模擬聯合國會議,由哈佛大學與一所獲選大學合辦。歷屆舉辦地點包括雅典、日內瓦、伊斯坦堡、美景市、海牙等橫跨各大洲的城市。2010年3月,來自50多個國家、200餘所大學共逾 2000名學生將來臺參與這場盛會。為期五天的會議中,與會學生將使用聯合國的議事規則,扮演不同國家外交官,協商並解決全球之重要議題。除了嚴肅的會議討論,更有合辦大學策劃的相關文化活動,促進各地學子的文化交流與認同感。更多的活動訊息將陸續發布於官方網站: http://www.worldmun.org/welcome/

One Week in Beijing

Working hard, playing hard.
Most of the day time are packed with meetings and works.
Evening, something relax, and delicious.

Sunday= Yi-He-Yuan頤和園, Dong-Lai-Shun東來順羊肉爐

It flew so fast, but I enjoyed every single moment of it. Cheers, my life in BJ~

The Worst Thing about BJ Trip

is my HORRIBLE allergy to food. Initially I think it's only seafood, but I guess it also applies for
  1. Soup with seafood inside. I cannot even drink the soup even though I've not tried the ingredients already
  2. Food that's not fresh enough. I ate everything else than seafood last night, I didn't drink any alcohol, I avoided spicy food=> I still turned red and felt itchy on my legs and arms.
Yes I'm taking medicines, but no it didn't help much so far. Due to the uncertain medical care quality here, I also hesitated to go see a doctor and got a shot to end my nightmaire for good. Da*n I hate this!
