盛大收购新浪的事情吸引了太多人的注意，以至于除了玩家几乎没有人注意到今天凌晨开始的《魔兽世界》（WOW）的限量的公开测试，尽管9城现在离盛大已经非常遥远，但在陈天桥野心勃勃或好高骛远地打造他的互动娱乐媒体帝国的时候，没有人怀疑，WOW是9城追赶盛大的最后的机会。
2月22日，号称重达40吨的WOW中国本地服务器运抵上海，照片上的垒成排的全新HP服务器蔚为壮观，通过它们，无数玩家将不分昼夜地在艾泽拉斯大陆冒险，服务器的到来也预示着WOW的运营已经开始冲刺。这次限量公测的账号名额是4000人，相对于中国的暴雪信徒和网络游戏玩家来说，这样的数字显然是杯水车薪，最终的4000名幸运儿将从所有注册的用户中抽取。
凌晨3点，注册开始，到白天的时候，服务器几乎陷于于瘫痪，页面的打开速度回复到了33k moden拨号的时代，但对于急于提前获得账号的玩家来说，这样的等待实在算不了什么，他们甚至通过种种方法注册更多的账号，以得到更大的被抽中的概率。陷于瘫痪的并不仅仅是官方网站，其他WOW的相关网站几乎同时瘫痪，页面上图片无法打开的红色的叉十分醒目，新浪游戏频道的WOW论坛倒还十分速度良好，但是任何一个关于注册的消息在几分钟内就会被点击数百次。而据说有最疯狂的玩家为了注册到WOW的测试账号，乘飞机到达上海，蹲在在9城的网吧里等待注册开始——因为在这里登陆注册页面有更好的网络速度。
这对9城无疑是一个好消息，但也并不算是胜券在握，和WOW类型相同并且品质同样不低的Ever Quest已经在中国遭遇了失败，还有Utima Online、魔剑。从某种意义上，比起盛大，我更喜欢9城，这并非是因为在4年多以前我曾在那个粗糙而简单的“第九城市”社区中当过快乐的面包师傅，而是作为一个网络游戏的运营商，9城给人的印象是务实而成熟，将一款《MU》运营得相当出色。有理由期待9城对 WOW的运营表现，尽管这是实际上也是一个成了未必为王，败了却一定为寇的巨大赌博。
一个有趣的说法是，在Gamespy 2004年的游戏评比中，WOW获得了最佳RPG的奖项，但是后来据说Gamespy有意收回这一称号，原因不是因为WOW名不副实，而是因为WOW的同时在线人数过多（据说有20万同时在线，这一记录在美国MMORPG领域是个惊人的数字），导致服务器经常瘫痪，而blizzard限于游戏引擎等技术因素无法提供很好的解决方案。如果确实如此，9城对如今的WOW注册的火爆状况应该也是喜忧参半了。
我的同学sunny总是捣鼓一些网站自娱自乐，他的最新玩意是一个名叫“麦仕通maxtong”的“图片博客”，作为网络技术人员，sunny也追逐着热门的“图片BLOG”的概念，显然他在maxtong上投入的精力要大于以前的其他网站，而maxtong的用户好像也还不少。
我是麦仕通最早注册的用户之一，maxtong使用非常简单，简单注册一下即可上传图片，但是相应的功能也比较简单，甚至不能将图片分类，所有的图片只能归于“主专辑”之下。不久前sunny进行了一些技术升级，现在可以增加分类，也支持彩信上传图片，不过我还没有试过。
总的来说，我觉得maxtong还是一个简单易用的photo blog，界面也比较简洁明快，但和国外的flickr，或者flickr在国内的模仿者fotolog相比，maxtong的功能仍然显得比较单薄，如果要做一个专业的photo blog，sunny要做的还有很多，加油吧！

donews.net是一个聚集IT人的weblog，但是我却看不到技术的力量，这两天我试着用donews.net，但donews.net的出错频率之高让我叹为观止，现在的问题是，不能修改已经发布的文章，就像王翌所说的，这是在考验用户的耐心，而我几乎已经被打败了。
update：在发布这个抱怨之后，donews.net终于有了反应，现在已经可以修改文章了。
新浪启动“毒丸”计划，似乎显示了面对来势汹汹的盛大，新浪不甘束手就擒的态度，但新浪的联席董事长段永基很快扇了其他股东一句响亮的耳光，四通集团在公告上宣布其剩余的4.96%的股份也已待价而沽，尽管新浪科技随后在报道中称四通出售新浪股票计划并不确定，段永基也“断然否认”将抛售新浪股票，但显然，四通已经为手中的股票插上了草标。
“中关村村长”段永基似乎被普遍地认为是一个惟利是图的商人，一个投机主义者，但老段主动退出是一个合理的选择，商人都是惟利是图的，现在新浪的股价还不错，毒丸计划尽管可能赢得尊严，但毕竟是有风险的，也可能两败俱伤。大家不应该也没必要去要求老段象汪延、陈彤那样热爱新浪，他只是一个商人，新浪不过是他投资的一个得意之作，尽管得意，但老段并不需要对新浪产生感情，而且，他现在还要干保健品这个很有前途的项目，更何况，老段很明白，毒丸计划恐怕并不能阻挡锋芒毕露的陈天桥。
盛大奇袭新浪，新浪应对并不充分，这让曾经的老大心中不是滋味，如果准备充分，盛大必然要付出更大的代价，但是在盛大已经拥有了1/5的股权，并且新浪原有的股权持有者同床异梦的情况下，所谓的毒丸计划恐怕不过是一场野合的最后挣扎而已，目的无疑是要盛大付出更大的价钱——尽管汪延、陈彤们可能真诚地抗拒陈天桥的野蛮进入，但是在资本上，他们并没有太多发言权。
盛大和新浪在业务上的互补是显而易见的，这场豪赌的关键显然在于盛大的消化能力。无论是“网上迪斯尼”，还是互动娱乐传媒帝国，陈天桥从来没有掩饰过他的野心，收购新浪19.5%的股份不过是他的又一次赌博，尽管新浪复杂的股权结构、冗长的业务线必将考验这次联姻的效果，但对于野心勃勃的盛大来说，这样的冒险不是可有可无，而是必须的。在成为新浪的最大股东之后，盛大将从一个渴望进军媒体产业的网络游戏运营商摇身一变成为一个拥有网络游戏运营的媒体服务提供商，这还仅仅是第一步，陈天桥的步伐攻城略地的步伐还不会停下，传统媒体、数字电视无不在他的视野之中。务线必将考验这次联姻的效果，但对于野心勃勃的盛大来说，这样的冒险不是可有可无，而是必须的。在成为新浪的最大股东之后，盛大将从一个渴望进军媒体产业的网络游戏运营商摇身一变成为一个拥有网络游戏运营的媒体服务提供商，这还仅仅是第一步，陈天桥的步伐攻城略地的步伐还不会停下，传统媒体、数字电视无不在他的视野之中。
