 History already

| It used to be the best portal but I think Yahoo is much better now. They rely on SMS services but I think all other portals can implement similar services. |

Overally BAD!
Written by designer from China on 12/28/2001
|
| Sina has made all the Web design mistak in its portal with an overflow of banners, windows poping up without control, animated gif's which have nothing to do with the content of your page and are just taking download time, etc. Overally speaking, it's just bad taste from a bunch of bad designers. |

Design comes second!
Written by Karen Fung from Hong Kong on 11/29/2001
|
| Look and feel is less important for Hong Kong users than functionality and navigation. Just like Sina, there are more than 10 animation banner in the frontpage and it's consider OK!!! Even if Hong Kong users consider a given site ugly or "local-looking," they will still use it as long as it offers useful functionality. Well-planned information architecture is crucial for users to complete their tasks quickly. |

Sina's future looks good
Written by James Wallace from United States of America on 10/31/2001
|
| The Internet business in China is different from the rest of the world, sure as well as Sina. As the flow of information in China is limited, the Internet becomes a major channel for information. Even if global Internet development is slowing, China's won't. But there's something which is beyond their control. There are a lot of changes in online advertising. The odds and difficulties should also be taken into consideration. There's still uncertainty here! |

My views
Written by Guru from Hong Kong on 10/30/2001
|
| To be quite honest, no local portal is doing well in terms of putting useful/interesting content together - Sina is too cluttered (it has more than 10 ad units on its homepage), HongKong.com is boring, Yahoo doesn't have deep enough content, Lycos doesn't even have enough people to keep the site well-maintained. |

Economics downtime and dotcoms in China
Written by Campine Johnson from Hong Kong on 9/12/2001
|
| With what happened in NYC last night and the global stock market down time today, I vision many of the dotcoms from China will be de-listed soon especially NetEase has already been ruled out. The whole operation environment will be getting much harder due to slow the down in economics growth and consumer spending. It’s necessary for traditional ICPs to change their main stream business model in order to survive. |

Annonying ad on Sina
Written by Alex Wong from Hong Kong on 7/27/2001
|
| The banner ad on Sina is super annoying. They have like 10 flying ads on 1 page and covers all their content. It's an extremely painful experience to browse their site . Let's watch all their users dissapear from the site... |

Resist to die
Written by Shi Kong Jiang from China on 6/26/2001
|
| China's #1 portal Sina suffers from a chronic lack of revenue. While last year they attracted enough visitors to qualify as successes, those Chinese eyeballs failed to generate money. Advertising revenue has dropped because most banner ads had been purchased by other troubled Internet ventures. I really wonder if they can last till the end of the year with the stock keeps around US$1.00.

CEO resigned and the ending of sina.com?
Written by C. Chatfield from Hong Kong on 6/5/2001
|
| CEO of sina.com Wang ZhiDong resigned last week, doesn’t this bring us a sign of indication that sina.com was born in a wrong time (at the beginning of NASDAQ crash) and on-line advertising business model has died finally. Sina the website itself is great in content and update always in step, however, the step down of Wang told us that the pioneer of China dotcom industry also has to face the reality at last. Just my 2 cents. |

Bad situation
Written by David Sussman from United States of America on 4/3/2001
|
| When the internet business was burgeoning like a garden of perennials, one of the brightest blossoms was China. It had the numbers, of course—more than a billion potentially wired Chinese—and a seemingly inexhaustible army of plugged-in, ambitious techies. Sina is one of them, grab the money from NASDAQ, but struggling now. Sigh! |
