Baidu IM Goes Private Beta
Baidu, the China search giant has officially unveiled its instant messenger product, codenamed as Baidu Hi. Currently, it is in the private beta mode, hence not everyone get the chance to test this product. While I trying to access to the Baidu Hi page, the landing page is still not available. There are few information that I found after reading some other Chinese blogs’ about this Baidu Hi.
1) Baidu Hi is developed by using Visual C++, an IDE of Microsoft.
2) The user interface is a Flash made.
3) Baidu Hi may not support Windows 95, 98, or 2000, the Baidu Hi first release will only support Windows XP SP2.

Hi,
Thanks for the info.
What do we know about the protocol?
Is it compatible and interoperable with open standards like XMPP/Jabber, SIP/SIMPLE or IRC?
Or is it again a new incompatible and non-interoperable IMP system like the many other players?
Thanx,
Nÿco
