so that's why plurk can't pass through the great firewall of china
Phillip Dec 14, 2009 02:47PM

First they steal Open Source code (Though I think they hired someone else for that?) and now they steal from a social network.

kaiestse, difference is only in legan point of view. Otherwise this is the same company
Kaji says Dec 14, 2009 03:10PM

If it's an authorized affiliate to work in the country then yeah. Just like how Sony Japan and Sony USA are part of the same company
Kaji says Dec 14, 2009 03:10PM

Just localization
Kaji says Dec 14, 2009 03:11PM

Perhaps this should get reposted on StackOverflow; it'd certainly generate an uproar over there!
