Google Engineer Joins Goso.cn as Deputy General Manager

BEIJING, Apr 15, 2011 (SinoCast Daily Business Beat via COMTEX) -- Wang Jiang, used to be an engineer serving the data center of the headquarters of Google Inc. (Nasdaq: GOOG), has assumed the post as deputy general manager of Goso.cn, a search service provider jointly established by People's Daily and its online portal.

Earlier, Goso.cn kicked off large-scale recruitment in campus, promising graduates with high salaries. Wang Jiang is a graduate of Xi'an Jiaotong University (XJTU) and has worked for Innovation Works for a short term.

Wang Jiang is the second top executive of Goso.cn with working experiences in Google. In February, Liu Jun, vice president of Google China's Project Research Institute, joined the Web site as chief scientist.

By far, Goso.cn has not revealed the responsibility of Wang Jiang. Facing the monopoly of Baidu Inc. (Nasdaq: BIDU) in the Chinese search engine market, Goso.cn President Deng Yaping is bullish on the future of the Web site.

Actually, as early as 2009, the Chinese government has expressed its support to homegrown search service providers. Under such circumstance, People's Daily and Xinhua News Agency both launched their own search engines and formed cooperation with telecommunications carriers.
