It will be a win-win partnership as mobile users are excellent microbloggers and we also anticipate having Weibo will further increase the stickiness of our Maopao users," Mr. Michael Song, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sky-mobi, stated.

"SINA is excited to partner with Sky-mobi and make Weibo.com accessible from Maopao, one of the largest mobile communities in China, further increasing Weibo.com's mobile user base," stated Mr. Fei Gao, Vice President and General Manager, SINA Mobile.
