Baidu, China's largest search engine with about 70 percent of the market, has launched an English-language blog called Baidu Beat. The blog gives readers overseas a window into the interests of China's Internet users, as derived from search statistics. Users of Baidu Beat can send feedback, though they won't be allowed to post comments directly to the blog. Baidu and other Chinese Net companies are expanding globally after dominating their home market. Tencent Holdings, which has 637 million user accounts for its flagship QQ instant messaging program, in December said it will offer the service in English, Japanese, and French.
