Google Launches Google Answers in China? An Update

wendatianya

As expected, Google China and Tianya has jointly launched a Web 2.0 portal, a sort of Google Answers in China. In my another post, I discussed that this site was maintained by Tianya and in matter of fact, the back-end technology was provided by Google China. Google China has well-planned in this “Wenda” project, they are competing for the same offering with Baidu in China again. They chosen Tianya because of the latter’s huge group of Web communities. Tianya, founded in 1999, has provided blog, forum, groups’ services to their users in China. Some reports even mentioned Google has stake in Tianya, may it be 10% or 60%, but I think this is a good move. In the world of venture capitalist, good reputation is priceless, invested in an established firm is always a best choice when you have money.
