B****F 发帖数: 638 | 1 Starting tomorrow, Sina Weibo, the popular Chinese microblogging service,
will move to a new domain at weibo.com, which analysts believe is a possible
indication of a corporate spin-off.
In the meantime, both the new (weibo.com) and the old (t.sina.com.cn)
domains will coexist and users will be able to log on using either. It will
eventually be unified into a single domain — weibo.com — once the
migration is completed. The shift should not affect the user’s normal use
as the company promises a smooth transition for all existing users.
The seamless transfer enables microbloggers to retain their existing user
information, including content, friend relationships, and personalized
domain names. None of Sina Weibo’s applications and features will be
affected.
This news has once again revived the rumors that Sina Corp is actively
preparing to spin off its Weibo microblogging unit and has started talking
to investment banks about an initial public offering.
Sina has already set up a special devision for its microblogging service,
responsible for product development, operations and planning, that is headed
by Peng Shaobin, the former general manager of Sina’s business products.
Sina Weibo has exceeded 100 million registered users and as of April 5, the
company’s shares rose to $116.56, with a market value of 71.1 billion U.S.
dollars. | m******l 发帖数: 1690 | | B****F 发帖数: 638 | 3 I mean for the stock sina | f**********r 发帖数: 2137 | 4 参考sohu 09年4月spin off了cyou以后 | B****F 发帖数: 638 | 5 it is a different story. but thanks! |
