Here is a list of Shanghai Online Maps.
Google Maps (Global Sattelite Image)
There is only image, with no road and map information. It is very useful if you know an area well, and want to see the details (buildings, streets), but not useful for a stranger to find the right road to take.
Move the needle on the left side to zoom in. It only has Chinese version. The data is powered by mapabc.com
The head to head competitor of Mapabc is mapbar.com. It is widely used by other Chinese local website. Check this sample page. For me, it has better functions, and more accurate data.
As I just mentioned, it has exactly the same data as Google China. However, they still uses the Java technology, and requires browsers to have Java installed. So I don't use it.
eDushi has a visionary idea - to draw 3-D map of all major cities. They have completed Hangzhou, Shanghai, Qingdao, Shenzhen, Wenzhou, Xi'an, Changsha, Guangzhou, Chengdu, and many other cities. All the buildings were drawn by hand! What an effort!
Real photo based map.
Hehe. Didn't forget to mention my little map view. It is just a simple application with no map data. So... Just for fun...
Above are all the major map providers on the market I am familiar with. For English maps? I don't see any really good one yet.

自从 Dell 中国网上商店八月七日出了价格纰漏之后,很多下了订单的消费者都在静观 Dell 的动态。第二天晚上就有传出来消息说 Dell 赖帐了。
到现在为止,我接到 Dell 两个电话,第一个电话是 10 日下午 5 点多,一个女的,上来就说自己是 Dell 公司的,说价格问题是某个员工的错误, 然后给我开出的条件:
一个是取消订单;
第二个是 7.5 折买那款服务器;
第三? 没有第三。
虽然我早都在朋友们听到这样的选择结果,我还是火大。套用范伟的话说,"你这个人不讲究啊,你的承诺 Ni?"
我给的答复是: Dell 不是说安全购物么? 员工的错误也是 Dell 公司的错误,总不能把这个错误说成是消费者的责任吧? 出了这么大的事情,你们的道歉呢?你们连在公司首页做个道歉声明都做不到,我对这样的选择都不能接受。
不要给我退款,如果贸然把款退到我帐上,我会认为那是 Dell 给我的赔偿!
昨天下午,又接到 Dell 的电话,男的,这会上来自报家门,说自己是 Dell 销售经理,谁谁谁,然后还是那两个条件,让我选择。
那家伙说,"这款服务器原价 8000 多,7.5 折后才 6000 多,而且,这里面包含了一个软件就价值 4000 多..." ,什么软件我倒是没有听清,"那好,你把软件都去掉吧,我看看价格能不能接受" ....噎住了半天,说回去给我做个报价。
这件事情从头到尾 Dell 都做的非常不光彩。消费者的确是钻了你的漏洞,但漏洞是你们自己造成。总要拿出个让人满意的态度来吧 。
Dell 公司都以为消费者是小孩子么?

自2001年起,Belden Associates对美国39个规模不一的报纸网站的134,000个用户进行了面访。最近披露的要点有:
这份美国报纸网站的用户调查,提示了很多的问题。无疑,简单地把报纸内容搬上网,肯定无法挽回报纸的失落。虽然看新闻是网络用户最主要的活动,虽然中国的情况不同,但报纸网站不止是新闻,更应该是在线服务,内容和形式都有很大的空间。
(因杂事拖了很多天,才算大致翻译了出来。本来想看看调查执行机构发布的详细一些的报告,但没有找到。如果哪位朋友知道,恳请留言告知。谢谢!)
