A Chinese character has finally been created for the new equine breed -- caonima (草泥马) or "grass mud horse" -- that's been galloping amok on the Chinese interwebs much to the chagrin of the Net Nanny. The 艹 radical refers to 'grass' (草), 尼resembles泥 and both are homophones, while 马is the character for 'horse'. The new character even has a recommended pronunciation -- Jia4 or Yu2.

Why Do Freeways Come to a Stop? | woohome
- This image helps to explain the phenomenon of “Why Do Freeways Come to a Stop?”. It happens to most drivers at least a few times a year. You’re sailing along on the freeway when you’re forced to come to a stop, or at least a crawl. You can’t see why things are slowing around the bend - and when you get there, traffic is moving better.

- 但不止新浪看中股价大幅跳水后的分众，12月24日，郭广昌控制的复星国际公布资料显示，从11月17日至12月22日，复星已经在纳斯达克公开市场购入分众传媒13.33%的股份，23日，复星再次大量购入分众股份，持股达到16.78%。没有什么证据显示这是一场内幕交易，复星的公告也强调这只是一次财务投资，并不谋求新浪的董事会席位，以郭的精明和对媒体一贯的兴趣，在分众股价低位时出手投资并不太让人意外，但郭的突然加入无疑让这场尚未落定的交易变得愈发扑朔迷离，未来可能的走向也更多样。
- 2008年3月15日，江南春辞去分众传媒CEO一职刚满8天，央视“3·15晚会”上，分众旗下的分众无线公司被定性为“垃圾短信制造者”，这部分业务源于2006年3月以3000万美元收购而来的凯威点告公司，在收购凯威后，分众又花费六七千万美元收购了至少8家同类公司，并整合为分众无线公司，2007年分众无线的收入规模已经达到3.5亿元，并计划2008年分拆上市，但经过 “短信门”的致命打击，江南春选择壮士断腕，彻底放弃无线业务，经此一役，分众共损失8000万美元。
