YY Inc. (NASDAQ:YY) , the leading live video streaming platform in China, today announced 100.com, an online education platform. YY, actually, has had YY Education, an online live video streaming service for teachers to give students lectures that was launched as early ad in 2011. As one of the three categories of YY offerings, YY Education, however, was way less profitable than the other two. Different from YY Education, 100.com is not focused on video lectures but includes all kinds of educational materials, text, online tools, mobile apps, etc. But like YY Education, 100.com needs teachers or educational agencies to contribute content.
