阿里巴巴禁止卖家使用微信营销

另外，阿里巴巴周四说，该公司和新浪(Sina Corp.)旗下类似推特(Twitter)的微博(Weibo)业务即将推出适用于淘宝的微博版本，整合这两项服务的用户账号。阿里巴巴持有微博股份。阿里巴巴说，微博还将向淘宝卖家提供营销服务，帮助他们在微博上宣传产品。

Alibaba said the two announcements, even though they came on the same day, are not related. The company said it decided to suspend the WeChat-related apps because it received complaints from consumers shopping on its Taobao and Tmall sites that they were getting an ※excessive§ number of promotional messages on WeChat from sellers. In some cases, Alibaba said, sellers were using the apps to guide shoppers outside of the online payment process run by Alipay, an Alibaba affiliate.

阿里巴巴说，上述两项公告虽然在同一天发布，但并无关系。该公司说，其决定暂停与微信相关的应用，原因是接到在淘宝和天猫上购物的消费者投诉，说他们在微信上收到的卖家促销信息数量过多。阿里巴巴说，有时卖家还利用微信应用引导购物者越过阿里巴巴旗下支付宝(Alipay)运行的支付程序。

Still, the moves raise questions about whether Alibaba is trying to protect its user database from Tencent while deepening its partnership with another social network. WeChat-related apps could be getting in the way of Alibaba's attempt to maintain its comprehensive user database including payment data under its control.
