Koubei.com Merges with Yahoo China

Koubei.com is to merge with Yahoo China (cn.yahoo.com). Yahoo China, a Chinese search engine, is a site owned by one of China’s largest Internet companies Alibaba group.

Koubei.com, the popular Hangzhou based site, is a life community that focuses on classifieds related to:

  • Real estate property renting search
  • Local restaurants search
  • Entertainment venues search

Koubei.com’s merge with Yahoo China will improve 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
  • Alibaba.com – the largest B2B site in China

One of the options is that Alibaba Group may still integrate China’s eCommerce into Koubei.com community.
