Google will add mobile messaging functions to its online search in China, according to reports in TMCnet. “When people search local information on the Internet, for example, I need to look for a certain hotel near Wangfujing, a modern shopping site and a popular tourist attraction for Chinese and foreigners in Beijing, capital of China,” the executive elaborated. “After finding its name, address, and telephone number, I will see a nearby pop-up box and then my mobile phone will quickly receive these information as I write my own phone number in the box.” Although it appears to be a small business, it is able to serve all the mobile phone users including low-end ones, who can take an opportunity of freely enjoying a mobile search service Google offers, the executive said.” China’s WAP service is still slow (after countless delays in issuing 3G licenses) but messaging works fine. The message service will be free as Google tries to build market share.
