Best Pinoy Social Network – Which is it?

We did an experiment searching for the number one result in Google for the keywords "Pinoy Social Network". Participants came from different countries.

We were surprised by the result of our short experiment. We searched on Google and got different results, depending on who is searching it. Our team is composed  of one in US, one in China, and the rest in Singapore.

Searching on the international version of Google gave the number one as Noypf. Searching on Singapore and China gave different results.

Then we concluded that the search in Google is localized, maybe it’s tracking the ISP of the computer doing the search or maybe it’s based on the IP address of the local computer.

Whichever it is, the results prove that Google gives different results.

Then we decided to use the different flavors of Google itself – that is, the country domain such .ph, .sg, .cn, and .com

Here are the results:

Google.com.ph (Philippines)

Google.com.sg (Singapore)

Google.com.cn (China)

Google.com (International)

So there it is! The conclusion here is that the answer to any question is relative to the context. Still, it is great that there are lots of Pinoy Social Networks out there.
