I don't think VinaGame aquired ddth. What i know they just put their ads and VK also take some relationship from there. Now, VK's working for VNG. But, he works with GAME, not Zing. Hope you can understand what i say. Hi, i’m a friend of ViKhoa from ddth.com. I don’t think VinaGame aquired ddth. What i know they just put their ads and VK also take some relationship from there.

Chodiendu, in contrast, is not very impressive. Over a year ago, one of my friends, who is educational book publisher, submitted stuff to chodientu for 3 months and the result, you can guess, was no sales at all. About DDTH, I think, VinaGame bought it to get user base for Zing strategy -- never know it's smart or silly but if I had an account in the forum, I would not feel happy (in fact, I had one long ago) .

It may be the 1st scandal of this year in DDTH :D. Maybe I'll reg a new nick and try it? shouldn't I? We'll know the truth from DDTH's admin reaction. :D All DDTH member will be so amazing when someone come to them and post a hot news “DDTH is acquired by VinaGame”.

Surprisingly, it is a CNet's clone. What 's more, Aha's appearance looks the same CNET even though it was changed later. Btw, DDTH means "diendantinhoc". If correct, i am so excited to see how much a VC is willing to pay for a forum in Vietnam. Thanks for your time. Best regards!

Second, "DDTH is acquired by VinaGame", is it official or just rumor? Can you please give me any source of this info? Last, we all know not every video-sharing site will become another YouTube. <a href="http://clip.vn" rel="nofollow">Clip.vn</a> is not really expecting a M&A, we want to build a sustainable business with Clip.vn. That's the reason it experiments with ads very soon (8 months after launch). Clip.vn wants to prove its business model by making real money right from the beginning. Profit is the reason of existence of any business, isn't it? Actually, among Web 2.0 Vietnamese companies, I believe Clip.vn is one of the first being able to monetize from online ads as a platform.
