People who are counting the ways in which Baidu has beaten Google may soon have to make one more tally mark; reports state that the Chinese giant is testing an instant messaging service.
There aren't yet any screenshots, release dates, or feature details regarding Baidu Hi, as it's known. The name is about all anybody's got. But Rick Aristotle Munarriz writes, "According to web information company Alexa, QQ.com is the second most popular website in China, trailing only Baidu. Yes, the hot IM platform is getting more traffic than SINA and Google."
Again, we've yet to hear a release date for Baidu Hi. The product has apparently been under development for almost a year, though, so it's hard to imagine it'll remain behind the curtain much longer.
