Baidu to boost collaboration with independent developers

BAIDU Inc, the owner of China's largest search engine, said it will strengthen collaboration with independent software developers to share its rich resource in customer-generated content on various platforms with them.

Baidu announced its cloud computing strategy yesterday and said it will provide access of all application programming interfaces of Baidu's community products to developers.

"Baidu will provide capital support for developers and offer them Baidu's promotion channels," Baidu chief executive officer Robin Li said at a developers' conference in Beijing today.

Internet giants are seeking a deeper collaboration with third-party service providers to diversify its platform.

"Cloud computing has given Internet companies and independent innovators a huge opportunity in the era of mobile Internet," commented Baidu's Vice President for technology Wang Jing.

Last year, Tencent said it planned to double the size of its Tencent Collaboration Fund to 10 billion yuan (US$1.54 billion) to support third-party service operators and application developers.
