Baidu - Alibaba contest heating up

Don’t miss Tangos’s piece on a very interesting new (though not unexpected) development in the ongoing throw-down between Baidu and Alibaba. After announcing that they’d be getting into the B2B and B2C ecommerce businesses last year and going into an invite-only Beta just weeks ago, Baidu has now announced an online payment system called Baifubao to challenge Alipay, and a C2C platform to take on Alibaba’s dominant Taobao. Things will get very, very interesting I suspect. Baidu is such an incredibly powerful brand in the Internet, and dominating search as it does it will be able to acquire customers with real ease. Taobao, as you’ve likely already heard, has begun blocking spiders from other search engines — a direct slap at Baidu.(from Ogilvy China)
