Baidu's IM product "Baidu Hi" is officially opening up to external user registration today. At the same time as registering, users can also activate their own Baidu Space.
Today, the registration page for "Baidu Hi" shows that it has started accepting registrations from external users. After downloading and installing "Baidu Hi Beta 1," users can log in to the registration page (https://passport.baidu.com/?reg&tpl=hi) to become a "Baidu Hi" user. During registration, users only need to provide an email address and agree to the registration agreement. It is reported that Baidu Hi uses a passport-style ID rather than a number-based system like QQ. Users can log in directly with their Baidu ID and also have the option to associate it with an email address.
