Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba and Taobao, has opened a Weibo account.

“Swans have long neck over their legs and feet bigger than their head. They are like aliens from another world… Why do they eat frogs? Riiiibbbbiiiitttt!”

Taobao moves to out of the strictly online world to open a physical store in Beijing.

The New York Times just did a neat story on Taobao, with a behind-the-scenes of a successful Taobao shop in Yiwu.
