China finally beats U.S. internet population. China currently has 253 internet users versus United State’s 223.1 million internet users. Considering the population of China this should be of no surprise. Chinese government promotes the use of web for business and educational purposes, however, pornographic sites and emails that disagree with the communist regime face penalties. Online commerce, video sharing and other online businesses are growing at a rapid speed in China.
FYI : China also ranks as no. 1 country that hosts the most malware sites.

Whether you are an active digg user or just starting out, this app can be of extreme help. Who Dugg is a web application that tells you if your friends are digging your submissions. Who Dugg is really simple to use. Enter your digg user name first, then enter your friends user name ( upto 10 ) to see if they are digging your submissions. You can check anywhere from last 5 to last 50 of your submissions. This application is currently in beta but I have been using it for a while and haven’t had any problems with it.
If you use Digg I highly recommend you make use of this application. There is no point in wasting time digging someone’s content who isn’t reciprocating. It should be mutual. This program will help you whether or not your submissions are being dugg. Really cool application!
