Good Luck! Mozilla Online!
Mozilla Online opened this Monday. Li announced it in his blog. The new office locates at Building C in Tsinghua Science Park.
Again, Li returns back to the Tsinghua campus. From Sun Micro System to Windows Live (China), now the Mozilla, never has Li move beyond this area.
Several months before, nobody knows what Li will take as the next career adventure while he quits Microsoft. We can understand why he left Microsoft. But none of us have an idea about where he would go. Seems neither did Li can tell. Guang had talk to me the possible choices. Google? MySpace? whatever. There's almost solid reasons that each of them is not fitful for Li, especially considering the Li's experiences. At that time, surely Mozilla was not in the candidate list because of no information about Mozilla's plan in China. However, several month ago, while we heard that Li joined Mozilla Online, and he would build up the new head-quarter in China all by himself, we all agree that this is a good, perhaps the best choice.
Li had talked some about his job in Mozilla Online. Mozilla conducts a very different business from the traditional software industry. It's indirect. It's full of freedom. It's a big challenge in China. Being compare to IE, the Internet customers in China know very few about Firefox. Even less if talk about Thunderbird, Sunbird, etc. To some extent, it could be a power toy for Geek. It's very reasonable to argue the future of Mozilla in China. However, if consider the popular IE-hearted browser Maxthon, we would have more confidence. Change is the only constant. And, impossible is nothing.
I'm very glad that Li locates the new office nearby, although I cannot tell why I'm happy about it. Good Luck Mozilla Online. Good Luck Li!

谋智网络这周一正式挂牌了。宫力在他的blog里宣布了这个消息。公司选址在清华科技园C座。这样,从Sun到Windows Live (China),再到谋智网络,宫力又回到了清华。
几个月前,当宫力离开微软,没人知道他会去哪里。似乎他自己也没有具体的安排。杨光曾经和我一起猜过,但是所有能想到的地方似乎都不适合。当然,那时没有想到谋智网络,因为还没有Mozilla要在中国开展业务的消息呢。后来,听到了宫老师选择Mozilla,并且亲自打造中国公司的消息,倒是恍然觉得这个选择是个很好的选择,甚至是最好的。当然,仅限于从在我们的角度看。
宫老师提到了一些在谋智网络的工作。Mozilla的商业模式和传统的软件产业好像有很大的不同。不那么直接,充满自由,并且具有挑战。和IE相比,在中国知道Firefox的用户很少,如果谈到Thunderbird,Sunbird等等,也许会更少。有理由怀疑Mozilla在中国的发展是不是会一帆风顺。但是呢,如果想想傲游(Maxthon)的流行,似乎应该对Mozilla在中国的未来有信心!万事皆有可能。
知道宫老师又回到了这边,有种莫名的高兴。好运,谋智网络!好运,宫老师!:)

謀智網絡這周一正式開張了。宮力在他的blog里宣布了這個消息。公司選址在清華科技園C座。這樣,從Sun到Windows Live (China),再到謀智網絡,宮力又回到了清華。
幾個月前,當宮力離開微軟,沒人知道他會去哪里。似乎他自己也沒有具體的安排。楊光曾經好我一起猜過,但是所有能想到的地方似乎都不適合。當然,那時沒有想到謀智網絡,因為還沒有Mozilla要在中國開展業務的消息呢。后來,聽到了宮老師選擇Mozilla,并且親自打造中國公司的消息,倒是恍然覺得這個選擇是個很好的選擇,甚至是最好的。當然,僅限于從我們的角度看。
