Tencent goes into search

The succesful Shenzhen-based IT-company Tencent is now moving into the search business, reports China Tech News. The company is said to have bought in April the domain name wenwen.com ("Ask a question") for 80,000 rmb.
Tencent started off as an IM-company with its popular QQ and has used its over 200 million user accounts to successfully take on weblog hosting, video hosting and now moves into search, where Baidu and Google are still the number one or two.

Update: China Web2.0 review has more details.
