Tencent Launches "Xiaoyou" SNS, Tests Web-Based IM Tool

 Tencent (700.HK) officially launched social networking service site xiaoyou.qq.com on January 6. The service, roughly translated as "school friends," allows users to login with their QQ accounts and add QQ group contacts. Tencent released a beta version of the SNS site that required real-name registration and integrated with Tencent personal space and blog service Qzone on June 6, 2008.

The Internet company is currently conducting alpha testing of "My QQ," a browser-based version of its instant messaging tool QQ. The new tool, which follows 2007's Web QQ beta 1, offers access to Tencent's email service.
