Tencent Mail Launches Chat Feature
Bianews, 12/03/08
Instant messaging (IM) developer Tencent (0700.HK) has quietly introduced a new chat feature to its QQ webmail service. The interface is similar to that of the Gtalk IM client that is incorporated into Google's Gmail service. The service is designed to get around workplace bans on the QQ IM client software, which had caused a large number of users to switch to MSN Messenger, which provides a browser-based IM client that is unaffected by blocking ports to IM clients.
