All The Services That Are Still Run On Google.cn

Yesterday, Official Google Blog pronounced that Google.cn had been redirected to Google.com.hk, which homepage interface is as below:

The new interface is nearly same as the one in Google.cn, except that a sentence is added in the new homepage:

Welcome to the new home of Google Search in China.

As a matter of fact, Google.cn will be redirected only on computer browsers, and it still keeps same on mobile browsers. As per The Wall Street Journal, “Company officials said Google would continue to host its maps and music search service in China and intends to keep its sales and research operations in China”. Up till now, except Google Web Search, Google Images, and Google News, all the other Google China online services listed below are still run on Google.cn:

1. Google.cn Blog Search

Same as the web search, many keywords (such as the Communist Party, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, etc) are filtered on Google.cn Blog Search.

2. Google.cn Books

Google.cn Books offers search services of the books written in Chinese, same as Books on Google.com, some of the books can be read on Google.cn books for free.

3. Google.cn Chrome

Google.cn Chrome is just a webpage for you to download Google Chrome browser.

4. Google.cn Code Search

Except the interface languages, Google.cn Code Search is same as the Code Search on Google.com.

5. Google.cn Dictionary

The design of Google.cn Dictionary is quite different from Google.com Dictionary, and there is a mini dictionary on Google.cn Dictionary.

6. Google.cn Features Search

Features Search lets you search Weather, Stocks, Zip code, and other featured information on one page. This function is only available in Google.cn, not in Google.com.

7. Google.cn Finance

Google.cn Finance mainly offers the finance information from China websites, such as Ifeng, Sina, Caixun, and so on, but there is no Portfolios or Google Domestic Trends.

8. Google.cn iGoogle

Compared to iGoogle on Google.com, there is no I’m Feeling Lucky search function on Google.cn iGoogle, which has less gadgets. For example, there are no Twitter related gadgets at all.

9. Google.cn Living Search

Google.cn Living Search offers the information of Real estate, Jobs, Restaurants and other living related things from other Chinese websites.

10. Google.cn Maps

The features of Google.cn Maps include Traffic, Map, Satellite and Terrain, but no Photos, Videos, Wikipedia, Webcams or Real estate.

11. Google.cn Music

Google Music is the only one I like among all the online services of Google.cn. You can listen to hundreds of songs online, you can download the music, and you can also play the music according to your mood.

12. Google.cn Products

Google.cn Products service offers product information with features and prices from Taobao, Eachnet, Youa and other 17 Chinese electronic commerce websites.

13. Google.cn Rebang

Google.cn Rebang offers the popular keywords of movies, games, actress, and so on. This feature is only available on Google.cn, not on Google.com.

14. Google.cn Scholar

Except the languages, Google.cn Scholar is nearly same as Scholar on Google.com.

15. Google.cn Transit

Except the interface languages, Google.cn Transit is nearly same as Google.com Transit, but you can’t get step-by-step transit directions in your web browser on Google.cn Transit.

16. Google.cn Translate

Except the languages, Google.cn Translate is same as Google Translate on Google.com.

17. Google.cn Trends

There is no Hot Searches or Hot Topics on Google.cn Trends, and the search results for the same keywords will be different between Google.cn Trends and Google.com Trends.

18. Google.cn Video

Google.cn Video searches and shows the videos from China video websites, such as Youku, Tudou, Sina, and other 14, Google video and Youtube are not including in the search results.

Google.com offers more than 60 online services, Google.cn only offers 21 local online services, among which Google Web Search, Google Images and Google News have been redirected to Google Hong kong, so can the above remained 18 online services be run on Google.cn for long? Google said they would continue to host its maps and music search service, but how about the other 16?

Since the nonsense China government insists on internet censorship, it is hard to say whether Google.cn, Google.com.hk, or Google.com will be blocked in China mainland or not. Only time can tell us the answers.
