MySpace China aims to launch an online messaging service "as soon as possible", its CEO said on June 13, as the venture fights for a bigger share of the world's second-largest Internet market.
MySpace China had invited technicians to test a beta version of an instant messaging service, which they said needed more high-end features, such as video, to attract users, Luo Chuan, chief executive of MySpace China, told Reuters on the sidelines of an industry conference.
"The roll-out depends on user feedback and whether the performance is able to satisfy users' demands. We hope to roll it out quickly, as soon as possible," said Luo, the former head of Microsoft Corp's MSN China.
