TENCENT, WALMART HEAT UP E-COMMERCE (from Young's China Business Blog)

Tencent’s 51Buy develops high-speed delivery

New moves from Internet giant Tencent (HKEx: 700) and global  retailer WalMart (NYSE: WMT) are turning up the competition in China’s e-commerce wars, which are quickly becoming a contest to see who can outspend whom. Both of these latest initiatives look quite pricey, especially Tencent’s move that will see it roll out an ultra-fast product delivery program. WalMart, meantime, is pouring big money into a campaign to build a new in-house clothing brand for its recently acquired Yihaodianonline store. The current trends are a bit worrisome, as they indicate no near-term easing in China’s e-commerce price wars that have raged for about 2 years now. The major problem is that companies have too much cash from investors keen to buy into the China e-commerce story, even though most of those companies are currently losing money. Exemplifying the trend is Dangdang (NYSE: DANG), one of the sector’s few publicly traded firms, which just reported its latest in a string of massive losses that has stretched for most of the last 2 years.

What is Pro-Quali?

ProQuali is a web-based business solution for Quality and Compliance Management.

Which CMS I should choose? Drupal, Joomla and Wordpress?

Drupal, Joomla, Wordpress are the 3 most popular Content Management System in recent years. They have their own features and developments cycle.

By choosing the proper template/theme with proper plugin/module/extension, we can create company website / product catalog showcase / community market quick.

Here I come across a good article with comparison diagram of Drupal, Joomla, Wordpress  ( from Rackspace. - CMS Comparison: Drupal, Joomla and Wordpress

	Drupal	Joomla	Wordpress
Homepage	www.drupal.org	www.joomla.org	www.wordpress.org
About	Drupal is a powerful, developer-friendly tool for building complex sites. Like most powerful tools, it requires some expertise and experience to operate.	Joomla offers middle ground between the developer-oriented, extensive capabilities of Drupal and user-friendly but more complex site development options than Wordpress offers.	Wordpress began as an innovative, easy-to-use blogging platform. With an ever-increasing repertoire of themes, plugins and widgets, this CMS is widely used for other website formats also.
Example Sites	Community Portal: Fast Company, Team Sugar	Social Networking: MTV Networks Quizilla Education: Harvard University Restaurant: IHOP	Social Networking: PlayStation Blog News Publishing: CNN Political Ticker Education/Research: NASA Ames Research Center News Publishing:The New York Observer
Installation	Drupal Installation Forum	Joomla Installation Forum	Wordpress Installation Forum
Ease of Use	Drupal requires the most technical expertise of the three CMSs. However, it also is capable of producing the most advanced sites. With each release, it is becoming easier to use. If you’re unable to commit to learning the software or can’t hire someone who knows it, it may not be the best choice.	Less complex than Drupal, more complex than Wordpress. Relatively uncomplicated installation and setup. With a relatively small investment of effort into understanding Joomla’s structure and terminology, you have the ability to create fairly complex sites.	Technical experience is not necessary; it’s intuitive and easy to get a simple site set up quickly. It’s easy to paste text from a Microsoft Word document into a Wordpress site, but not into Joomla and Drupal sites.
Features	Known for its powerful taxonomy and ability to tag, categorize and organize complex content.	Designed to perform as a community platform, with strong social networking features.	Ease of use is a key benefit for experts and novices alike. It’s powerful enough for web developers or designers to efficiently build sites for clients; then, with minimal instruction, clients can take over the site management. Known for an extensive selection of themes. Very user-friendly with great support and tutorials, making it great for non-technical users to quickly deploy fairly simple sites.
Caching Plug-ins	Pressflow: This is a downloadable version of Drupal that comes bundled with popular enhancements in key areas, including performance and scalability.	JotCache offers page caching in the Joomla 1.5 search framework, resulting in fast page downloads. Also provides control over what content is cached and what is not. In addition, page caching is supported by the System Cache Plugin that comes with Joomla.	WP-SuperCache: The Super Cache plugin optimizes performance by generating static html files from database-driven content for faster load times.
Best Use Cases	For complex, advanced and versatile sites; for sites that require complex data organization; for community platform sites with multiple users; for online stores	Joomla allows you to build a site with more content and structure flexibility than Wordpress offers, but still with fairly easy, intuitive usage. Supports E-commerce, social networking and more.	Ideal for fairly simple web sites, such as everyday blogging and news sites; and anyone looking for an easy-to-manage site. Add-ons make it easy to expand the functionality of the site.
