Google vs. Baidu: The Battle of Web Crawlers | In the Cloud

Everyone is very familiar with Google and Baidu. For most of us, these two companies seem to do the same thing - search. Both are very successful companies, even cited as models of Internet success. In fact, besides search, they both have many other services, just not well-known by the public. I personally like Google's novel services, such as Analytics (Analysis) (most people don't know about this), AdSense (we see it every day but rarely pay attention), Blogger (many people abroad use it, but it's often blocked domestically), Talk (similar to MSN or QQ), Reader (a great online reading tool so you don't have to worry about finding websites everyday), etc. There are many more that can be found in Google Labs. I really like its labs, there are a lot of interesting things.
