Update: For sale: Baidu.eu

It is more than one year and a half that the brand Baidu.eu was launched by a Dutch company; besides this domain another 27 domains like baidu.tv, baidu.nl and baidu.be were registered. These domains were not registered by Baidu.cn or a European representative. On February 23, 2007 I wrote in my daily posting: The young entrepreneur had put his hopes on selling the domain name Baidu.eu to Baidu.cn and hopes to cash from the transaction. In my view it is a vulgar case of domain hijack. The moment of reckoning has come: Baidu.eu and other domains is up for sale! Baidu.eu will bow under the Olympic Games activities of Baidu.cn and Baidu.com. (see my upcoming posting on Monday September 8, 2008)
