Internet Giants Find New Meaning for WWW: Weibo War of Words

(Beijing) – A rivalry between Internet giants Alibaba Group and Tencent Holdings has erupted into a weibo war of words.

The Internet giants are accusing each other's public relations department of writing negative news reports about the other company and paying to have them published.

Employees of WeChat said on weibo, China's version of Twitter, on December 3 that Alibaba had started a smear campaign against Tencent's popular voice and text messaging app.
