Sina’s 2013 Strategy Is “Mobile First,” CEO Charles Chao Says In Company-Wide Email
China-based tech blog 36kr has published a company-wide email (link via Google Translate) from Sina CEO Charles Chao that previews the China-based Internet giant's 2013 strategy. Chao wrote that Sina will reboot its strategy next year by splitting its business structure into two parts, with one focusing on its Web portal and the other on Sina Weibo, its massively popular microblogging service which boasts more than 400 million members. Sina's COO Hong Du will focus on running the Web portal and report directly to Chao, who will take responsibility for its microblogging and mobile operations. Each side will take responsibility for their own products, technology and operations.
