Yahoo China Launches Group

Yahoo! China recently launched a BBS (bulletin board system) community called Yahoo! Club. Many believe this product is the Mainland Chinese localized version of Yahoo! Groups. With this new product I believe Yahoo! China can better service and customize to the needs of the Chinese Internet population.

BBS is very popular in China, as a social community platform. Before the launch of Yahoo! Club, Sohu has already been running a similar service called Sohu Club which is the number one online community in China. To be honest, Yahoo! Club may be trying to follow the success of Sohu Club.

Some of the most popular forum topics in Sohu Club include stock markets, movies, cooking, and in-law relationships.

Update:

However, after Yahoo China’s merge with Koubei, you won’t be able to access Yahoo Club. Instead you will have to use the Koubei Community which is Yahoo-Koubei’s BBS.
