When we are talking about China’s Internet companies, we will definitely talk Tencent, whose IM software QQ is the most popular IM software in China. At the time I’m writing this post, QQ has over 45m concurrent users online. Based on its QQ software, Tencent generated revenue of USD297 million in the quarter ended on Sept 30 2008. But it is not easy for a foreigner to understand this China’s Internet phenomenon, partly because QQ’s software is all in Chinese. Now Tencent quietly launched an International website I’mQQ.com, which enables you to download an English version QQ and register a QQ id. If you are an iPhone user, you can also try QQ for iPhone. But for Mac or Linux users, QQ for Mac and QQ for Linux haven’t provide English version now. Actually, it’s not the first time for Tencent to start its internationalization. For example, in 2007, QQ Game partnered with AIM, in early 2008, Tencent invested in an online game operator Outspark. (tip by Thijs Terlouw)

On the first day of the new year, Tencent relaunched its web-based QQ service. Now it’s called My QQ. It’s linked from it’s official QQ website. From its appearance it’s not just a web version of the product, but a user login of the whole site. Maybe a web-based social network is coming. Tencent started testing its web based QQ in 2006, originally at this address: webqq.qq.com. But it has been shut down for a while. The service is not fully open yet. You will need to apply for the access. A web-based QQ is absolutely needed, especially in some companies which block QQ port. There’re some services hacking the protocol to provide web-based QQ access. Now the day of these business is over. Source: chinaz
