Google added "Disallow: /shenghuo/search?" to their robots.txt today. I don't speak the language but, has anything changed in terms of the status of this Google China Labs product/project?

Maybe it's out of beta ..

You can now search jobs,housing,film information,dining places,trip tickets.etc.

BTW,"Shenghuo" means "Life" in Chinese

Good find beussery! Some previous discussion of Shenghuo: http://blogoscoped.com/forum/96386.html

Or maybe it's just a Googlers who think "oh shit, I forgot to add that service in the robots.txt file when we launched that last year" and he just has fixed the default.

Philipp, thanks man! I'd love to know more about this service but don't speak the language.

TOMHTML, maybe! :)

shenghua means life, or living more exactly.
