Thanks for your posting!
Just a couple of updates:
- Revenues in 2007 are expected to be in the 450 million USD range.
- We view Tencent more as an “online community” rather than a simple IM service. In MSN, users don’t really meet, while the groups function of QQ and the Q Zone personal pages are among its major features.
