AOL announced the beta launch of a dedicated web destination serving Taiwan. The new site, designed and created specifically to address the increasingly sophisticated needs of Taiwan’s Internet users, combines AOL’s suite of communications products – including free e-mail and instant messaging – with industry-leading safety features, and localized content in Chinese. AOL will continue to add new content and features over the coming months.

“The launch of AOL.tw is just the beginning of an ongoing effort to provide consumers in Taiwan with the services and content they want,” said Norman Koo, VP and General Manager for Greater China. “Our industry-leading products and programming combined with our content partnerships will provide a unique experience for consumers and advertisers, as well as an international, regional and local mix of news, finance and entertainment information.”
