In an August 2010 Wall Street Journal article,[73] Baidu played down its benefit from Google's having moved its China search service to Hong Kong, but Baidu's share of revenue in China's search-advertising market grew six percentage points in the second quarter to 70%, according to Beijing-based research firm Analysys International.
It is also evident that Baidu is attempting to enter the Internet social network market. As of 2011, it is discussing the possibility of working with Facebook, which would lead to a Chinese version of the international social network, managed by Baidu.[74] This plan, if executed, would face off Baidu with competition from the three popular Chinese social networks pengyou.com, Renren[75] and Kaixin001[76] as well as induce rivalry with instant-messaging giant, Tencent QQ.
