Rumor: 360 to Develop IM Software

TechWeb, 11/05/10

An industry source has revealed that Chinese online security and anti-virus software developer Qihoo 360 Technologies has already completed significant steps towards producing an IM software product and that it is just a matter of time before there is an official launch.

The source also indicated that the 20-plus members of the core IM project team are the former Rainbow QQ IM development team, which was hired away en-masse from social networking site 51.com.
