Google's ongoing dispute with China has taken an interesting twist.
The internet giant is no longer using its .cn domain. If you go to google.cn you will get redirected to google.com.hk - Google Hong Kong.
Now while the world is watching the big question remains. Will anyone in China's government really care?

Earlier today Google announced the launch of their new DNS service. They're pushing it as part of their "better experience" and "speed" drive that Matt Cutts and Co have been harping on about for the last while.
OpenDNS, however, has been offering a similar service for quite some time. A lot of Irish users were forced to use it earlier this year when Eircom, one of the country's main ISPs, suffered severe issues with their DNS serving their broadband and dialup users.
So it was quite interesting to read OpenDNS' response to the Google service. The article is a good read, but if you don't have the time or energy skip to point 3:
Yes. Did you honestly think that Google was doing this purely out of "goodwill"?
If you did, then you might forgive me for thinking you're a bit naive.
Access to enduser DNS data is pure gold.
Google will now have access to potentially millions of users' DNS data. They claim they aren't going to use the data for anything else, but they also state they'll hold onto some of the data permanently. Why? The data is useless unless you plan on doing something with it...
If nothing else it means that Google will have even more control over the enduser'sbrowsing internet experience. I'm not sure if that's such a good thing.
Let's see how this pans out ..

"Google claims that this service is better because it has no ads or redirection. But you have to remember they are also the largest advertising and redirection company on the Internet. To think that Google's DNS service is for the benefit of the Internet would be naive. They know there is value in controlling more of your Internet experience and I would expect them to explore that fully"

Could this be the end for some of the smaller parking companies?
With Google's ever growing publisher base I suspect that some of the parking companies are going to be under pressure. Unless they can bring something new and interesting to their clients some of them may not survive such a move intact (I'm thinking mergers etc.,)
While the big companies such as Oversee and Sedo have a diversified portfolio of both web properties and revenue sources, what about some of the smaller players? With Google for domains being offered via the Adsense control panel it may be all too easy for publishers to simply move their domains onto that system and get a single monthly payment from Google instead of dealing with multiple, smaller, payments that incur higher banking charges.
Of course it's early days yet, so the actual impact of this kind of change may not be felt for a few months.
Thanks to the guys over on DomainNameNews for mentioning it

It was only inevitable that Google would eventually offer a mobile ready version of its adsense platform. It's been doing it to some degree with the parking companies for some time, although maybe not directly.
As one of the named investors in dotmobi this move is actually a bit late when you consider that there are already a number of other companies who were "first to market" and probably have gained an advantage with the mobile developer community.
In terms of the interface there's no big change. It's pretty much the same as any other adsense product with a choice of palettes etc.,
If anyone has a chance to play with it I'd love to hear how they get on
