Koubei.com Merges with Yahoo China

Koubei.com is to merge with Yahoo China (cn.yahoo.com), one of the web properties owned by China’s largest Internet company Alibaba group. The popular Hangzhou based site Koubei.com is a life community which mainly focuses on classifieds related to real estate property renting, local restaurants, and entertainment venues.

The merge with Koubei.com is believed to enhance Yahoo’s localization in China as a search engine, and to add to Yahoo’s strength in building better services on life search.

The Alibaba group already owns Taobao.com (the largest B2C site in China) and Alibaba.com (the largest B2B site in China). With the group’s successful eCommerce experience, it is only a matter of time to see eCommerce being integrated into the existing Koubei community.
