Hi: Name Triggers Netizen Debate
Baidu's new IM product, Hi, is still in its infancy, but it seems that the mastermind behind it, Robin Li, isn't too fond of the name "Hi". In a recent blog post titled "Everyone Will Be Able to High Together Soon", Li wrote: "Although Baidu Xiaosheng isn't my favorite name, it's not always up to me at Baidu, so it ended up being called Hi... Today, I suggest the IM team change the default skin color."
