Baba did $9B in sales today! Hard to believe he was able to get a "trademark" on 11.11 which would be like Walmart getting exclusive rights to use "Valentine's Day" to sell merchandise!
  • Today I posted this new article:
    Happy Singles Day - An Alibaba Success Story - BABA

  • The term "???" (meaning "Double 11") was trademarked in China by the Alibaba Group
    Too bad SI doesn't show Chinese characters.... it shows ??? where I have the actual symbols in the article.

  • Singles' Day or Bachelors' Day was initially celebrated at various universities in Nanjing during the 1990s, and originated from Nanjing University in 1993. It got the name "Singles' Day" because the date consists of four "ones". These college students have since graduated, and carried the university tradition into society.
