mInfo is going to join hands with Incesoft, a IM search robot for Chinese users to bring advanced conversational search in their mother tongue especially for Chinese MSN instant messenger users.
As Alvin Wang Graylin, CEO of mInfo commented, “Currently there are over 80 million mobile instant messaging users in China. With this number having grown over 400% just in this year, it’s clear to see the promising future of IM on mobile devices and the pending need for search capabilities by these users.”
He further continued, “One of mInfo’s technical strengths is in supporting natural language search, which coincides well with instant messaging that is inherently a natural language communications tool. The alliance with Incesoft will provide our joint users with more conveniences and easier access to useful information whether on mobile devices or PCs.”
mInfo is teaming up with many other companies like Medio, is a mobile search company, to strengthen mobile search and marketing position in the Chinese market.
Since Incesoft’s Xiao-i and mInfo’s XiaoMing are working together, the users of both robots will get pleasure as well as immediate benefits.
XiaoMing’s unique capabilities are in rich daily life and local search content where Incesoft finds more synergies. However, Xiao-i can distribute its content to users through mInfo’s SMS and WAP platforms.
Hui Yuan, CEO of Incesoft said, “With the upcoming 3G license issuance in China, the mobile services market will grow dramatically.”
He added, “mInfo is definitely the best partner to choose in bringing a more natural mobile search experience to our users.”
However, mInfo and Incesoft are going to continue to explore deeper in IM and mobile advertisements solutions along with new other ways to satisfy customer needs.
