Maxthon International, developers of the Maxthon 2 Internet browser and the first Chinese company with a worldwide presence, is providing free help services for visitors to the International Olympics in Beijing.

More than 300 Maxthon users have signed up to staff Maxthon's Online Volunteer Web site. They are using PCs and chat software to answer Olympic tourists' questions about Olympic scheduling and locations, housing, restaurants, entertainment, and shopping. The volunteers are providing chat services in English, Chinese, Dutch, French, Russian, and Spanish.

Through Aug 3, the site is open from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., Beijing time. From Aug. 4 to Aug 30, the volunteer center provides help from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day. The page also has a digital bulletin board where visitors can leave and read messages. The board is open 24 hours a day.

"We have such a large number of users in all countries, and with the Olympics being held in the same city where Maxthon is based, it just seemed right for us to do something to help people from around the world," said Jeff Chen, CEO of Maxthon.

Maxthon 2.0 is a free Internet browser. It has been downloaded nearly 160 million times just from Maxthon's own site . In China, Maxthon has about 30 percent of the browser market, beaten only by Microsoft Internet Explorer. The company has only recently begun to actively market the browser in the United States.
