From Pacific Epoch – Rumor: Google, Yahoo Courting Bokee
I happen to slightly know Lu Liang, the CTO of Bokee.com and met with him while I was in China last Fall. I emailed him about this but I don’t expect him to confirm it. Bokee used to be called Blog China.
Trivia: their platform was developed by Lu when he lived in Texas, where he spent and his wife spent several years going to school. They moved back to China last year, merged the company with Blog China and raised (I think) $10 million from a VC in the US.
I wonder if Google’s caving in to China’s demand that they censor search results is linked to this?
