SubscribeBaidu To Enter Social Bookmarking Market
Baidu will soon launch its social bookmarking service. The new service will be under the sub-domain name “cang.baidu.com“, cang is the Chinese pinyin for collection. The sub-domain is accessible already, though the service is expected to be available later this month.
According to the introduction in the webpage, Baidu’s social bookmarking service will not only save your favorite links but also save the full text on the links automatically. Of course, you can search your bookmarks conveniently with Baidu’s search technology. If the links you saved was broken, Baidu’s cached page can help you to read them again. More details are to be known after the service is launched.
There are many social bookmarking sites in China, the most popular so far is 365key.com. The market is crowded, and in a survey among Chinese active bloggers, their favorite social bookmarking service is del.icio.us. Will Baidu change the competitive landscape in China? It is very possible, the only problem is in which way Baidu will promote the service among its users to make it popular.

Any idea what would happen if it was used to bookmark something sensitive? Like say it might freeze everytime you login thereafter, preventing you from deleting the GFW-triggering link.
