Facebook to open sales office in Hong Kong..
Facebook to open sales office in Hong Kong
Facebook, the world's largest social-networking site, will open a sales office in Hong Kong, in a move to tap the region's booming Internet scene, local media reported on Wednesday.
The Hong Kong office will service brands, companies and agencies in Hong Kong and Taiwan that want to advertise or launch marketing campaigns on its website, the company said in a statement posted on Asia Media Journal's.
Facebook has been banned in China, the world's largest Internet market at over 450 million users, since 2009 and since then many Facebook-clones have sprung up to fill the void.
Facebook opened offices in Singapore and India last year and has been looking for ways to expand into Asia, home to millions of young, savvy Internet users.
Hong Kong's South China Morning Post reported that Jayne Leung, a former Google executive, will head Facebook's North Asia operations.
Facebook's Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg toured China last December, visiting the heads of numerous Chinese Internet firms including Baidu Inc, Sina Corp and Alibaba Group.

Grid Computing VS Cloud Computing
Grid Computing VS Cloud ComputingMost of the people think Grid Computing and Cloud computing are same, but they are totally different. Both grid and cloud computing are networks which abstract processing tasks. Abstraction masks the actual complex processes taking place within a system, and presents a user with a simplified interface with which they can interact easily. The idea is to be able to make the system more user-friendly.
What is cloud computing?
In simple Cloud computing is sharing of resources by many users, for example imagine a company which had been formed recently with physical infrastructure such as buildings and computers, they cant spend further money on software. Thus they come towards cloud where they have to pay only for the resources which they are using, it helps them to save money.
What is grid computing?
Grid in other hand is a combination of resources from different domains. They are the true Distributed Systems, a supercomputer is a good example of a Grid computation where it follows a path to get the required resources unlike the cloud. What this means is that your grid-enabled application is not tied to the computer on your desk, it can seamlessly use more than one computer and other resources even beyond the walls of your building to boost its performance.
Real Difference between Grid and Cloud?
So what’s making cloud so special when compared to Grid, the answer is simple. When an application fails in one node, the other application on the other node may also fail, thus bringing the problem of availability in Grid. A Cloud would usually use a grid. A grid is not necessarily a cloud or part of a cloud. Thus they are two different identity with nearly common goals.
