Tencent's Search Engine Drops Google, Adopts Chinese Technology

Chinese Internet company Tencent has announced that its search engine product Soso.com, which previously adopted Google's search technology, has started to use its self-developed search technology.

According to the company, Tencent's new search technology is currently undergoing beta testing. It says that the Search Engine, Soso.com will provide better and faster search experiences to users and to further improve Tencent's one-stop Internet strategy.

If you check out the Soso.com engine you will notice that the words "provided by Google" in its search results pages are no longer present. Further information on China Tech News said Tencent will continue to cooperate with Google in the search sector but in other areas. Not sure what that means but I guess Google is just to big to walk away from completely.
