Streaming Online Videos

In addition to providing traditional text and picture-based content, we have focused on developing new media technologies. We have launched online TV-like channels, such as v.Sohu for entertainment, s.Sohu for sports and tv.Sohu for TV programs, specifically geared for video content. In addition to watching pre-set programs with broadcasting schedules, users can also enjoy certain programs on an on-demand basis.

We offer a variety of
communication and community tools for our Chinese online users that are important in promoting user affinity to our portal network:

 








































Alumni Club  Alumni Club is a database service containing information on schools, classes and classmates that allows classmates to communicate and find each other. As of December 31, 2008, there were
over eighty million registered users.
Blogs  Blogs is an interactive platform for users to build their own space by posting their articles and pictures, uploading videos, and allow sharing of information amongst users. Further, Sohu
blogs provide unique facility for personalized blog’s front page layout, interactive communication facilities for blog users and services integrated with a selection of Sohu products. In January 2008, we opened the development platform on Sohu
Blogs to all third-party developers through “open widget”, through which developers could rapidly develop and distribute their widgets to massive Sohu bloggers on Sohu’s platform. Sohu bloggers can choose any of such widgets and apply
them to their blogs according to their own preference. Our continuous enhancements to upgrade Sohu Blogs to build up a community-based personal space have been well received by our users, especially by the young consuming generation, and we believe
more and more bloggers are converting their Sohu blogs into their personalized portal or space.
