In addition to the specific means of QQ in the introduction of IP encryption software, will also QQ client software plug-shielding illegal significant IP, significantly stealth features. The main view in the industry, Tencent This is mainly for the "Rainbow QQ".

Put on the cloak of free money digging

QQ is a rainbow in operation by the end of 2007, 51.COM is the secret development of a project by Yuan Jing 51.COM product manager, Rainbow QQ online, Rainbow QQ to a member of the team, "PANG Jing" in the name of the Shanghai registered a rainbow even Network.

"This project has been operating for more than a year, at the time was a small project, initially did not want to make clear what it is more than a year and the project 51.COM products are not, in the last 51.COM Rainbow does not link the QQ, QQ and the Rainbow 51.COM there is no link between the two is an entirely different issue. "51.COM president and chief assistant spokesman Huang Shaolin" China Times "reporter that introduced.

Analysys International analyst storage and transportation Fengchao to accept the "China Times" reporter during an interview that the Rainbow QQ currently on the market by popular mainly because it has two functions: First, to show that IP; Second, to see friends QQ Stealth.

"These two features of the corresponding Tencent QQ 'show me the location' and 'QQ clairvoyance' function, which is in charge of Tencent QQ, QQ and made a free Rainbow, Tencent has a direct bearing on the charges." Storage and transportation Fengchao introduced.

Industry, software plug-in QQ, is the most well-known before the show with IP-enabled coral QQ. In the Aug 20, 2006, Tencent QQ version of the coral author Chen Shoufu filed a lawsuit.

"Rainbow QQ and QQ are different coral, rainbow QQ does not modify the code itself, it is not infringing. QQ rainbow at the same time not shielding ad does not violate the commercial interests of Tencent QQ." Huang Shaolin said, "The Rainbow QQ is an independent third-party software Such as Microsoft's MSN, the global epidemic will have a number of plug-in product, which can not be said to be illegal, which grants the shortcomings of the original software. "

"There are actually legally registered enterprises engaged in production of plug-in, we believe." Tencent 51.COM was informed in an official statement said after the foreign, "Tencent will make every effort to protect user privacy and information security, the fight against illegal plug-in."

But whether this will be treated as coral version of the QQ, using legal means to be addressed, Tencent internal stakeholders to accept the "China Times" reporter an interview that "there is no."

Tencent another?

51.COM and Tencent war between the rainbow beyond the QQ.

It is reported that, 51.COM Tencent and competition is not a year for two years, and Tencent 51.COM from "dig" is already an open secret within the company, 51.COM many important items are those who come from Tencent In charge of such 51.COM responsible for the development platform and Wu Wenxuan responsible for the instant messaging and Zhang are from Tencent directly from the dig.

"I think 51.COM within the next few years will be in the position and Rush QQ market." 51.COM Pang, chairman of the company or in the East in September to express publicly his relationship with Tencent competition, "we will not transfer to the market . "

It is reported that almost every Tencent launched a new function and application, 51.COM will be "learning" and "digest", and quickly developed its own platform. If the current platform of 51 "51 Mall", "Group 51", "51 Show" and "51 to ask," another addition to the development of the QQ outside the Rainbow, 51.COM also developed its own IM (instant messaging) product : 51 linked to hang.

"Business is Tencent whole, any Internet business will compete with Tencent and the relationships." Huang Shaolin said, "51.COM was set up in August 2005, at the time to do social networking, MYSPACE than the United States a month before launch, it can be said of the world Is a leading, of course, including the Chinese market, Tencent was later developed to learn from 51.COM or 51 Tencent, said, is not clear. "

"51.COM 'ambition', but it can not be Tencent's biggest problems." Storage and transportation Fengchao that, "IM a stable pattern, QQ stability of the status of the eldest child, 51.COM do IM with the aim of increasing the viscosity of the user. "

"Rainbow QQ can help 51.COM access to a certain degree of traffic, as well as reputation." Meng Wei said, but he is also not clear at the Rainbow QQ strategy 51.COM specific role.

Tencent Company officials said in an interview is very strange, 51.COM do not know specifically what to do, and the fact 51.COM himself clearly thought, what the specific product.

But in any case, around the Rainbow 51.COM and Tencent QQ in between the story may be more and more, the two companies who will eventually become the Internet remains to be evergreen test the market.
