Tudou, China's second-largest online video website, plans to go public this week, Reuters reported. The company has declined to comment. Tudou filed for an IPO in November last year, seeking to raise $120 million. But the deal was stalled after Tudou CEO Gary Wang's ex-wife filed suit against him in a messy divorce dispute. | 據(jù)湯森路透報(bào)道,知情人士表示,土豆網(wǎng)計(jì)劃于本周內(nèi)登陸納斯達(dá)克市場(chǎng)。但土豆網(wǎng)對(duì)新浪科技表示對(duì)此事不予評(píng)論。土豆網(wǎng)去年11月提交IPO申請(qǐng),計(jì)劃融資1.2億美元。但由于土豆網(wǎng)CEO王微與其前妻的婚姻糾紛而遲遲未能上市。 |

As of June 30 this year, the Tudou has 90.1 million registered users, up from 16.3 million at the end of 2007. The website logged about 200 million page views in May of this year, compared with 50 million in December 2007. | 截至今年6月30日,土豆網(wǎng)注冊(cè)用戶(hù)量從2007年年底的1630萬(wàn)人增長(zhǎng)至9010萬(wàn)人,增幅達(dá)450%。今年5月,土豆網(wǎng)獨(dú)立用戶(hù)訪(fǎng)問(wèn)量從2007年12月的5000萬(wàn)增長(zhǎng)至約2億。 |
