Santa Clara, Calif. April 7, 2008 - Alibaba.com has launched a new blog called 'AliBlog' where members and industry watchers can find the latest word, photos and videos from Alibaba.com. AliBlog is available at www.aliblog.alibaba.com.
Long-time Alibaba.com employee and Silicon Valley resident, Cliff Hsia, is the blog's lead writer and editor. Having worked in both our Hangzhou headquarters and our US office, he is well positioned to comment on news about the company. Cliff is a Chinese-American who lived in China from 2003 to 2007, first in Beijing, then in Hangzhou. He has recently returned to the United States and is eager to spread the word that business can indeed be made easier everywhere through Alibaba.com's products and services. The blog also will draw on expertise from a host of experienced Alibaba.com staff and members from around the world, as well as guest bloggers.
Cliff says, "On AliBlog, Alibaba.com employees will provide real insights and thoughtful perspectives about our products, services, events and community, as well as the latest news and developments in e-commerce and global sourcing. This will also be a fantastic place to get the lowdown on recently launched, or soon to be launched, features, products and services that will really help the Alibaba.com community. AliBlog will be an ongoing conversation between our company and our community. We welcome our US members to share their comments and put in their two cents anytime."
AliBlog is expected to appeal to a wide range of parties, from existing Alibaba.com members to business orientated people who are currently involved in, or would like to be involved in, global trade.
