Rebirth: It’s Like Flowing Water - Vol 5 Chapter 208
Vanessa is quite satisfied with the Microsoft community.
Concise pages, functions in line with young people’s tastes, attractive topic index, and interesting discussions.
The most important thing is that, like the Chinese Penguin, the MS friend import function has been added, and she can enjoy the fun of the online community with her classmates and friends online.
although…
Although Vanessa could see it at a glance, the Microsoft community almost copied the functions and style of the Penguin community, and even the typography was very similar.
However, to tell the truth, although Vanessa did not think it was a good behavior. However, she is more willing to accept the Microsoft community than to accept a brand new Chinese website and social software.
Nothing but habit.
She is used to using MSN and CQ to communicate with netizens and friends, and she is also used to ingesting knowledge with the Yahoo engine.
So, not bad!
After having a general understanding of the functions of the website, Vanessa immediately logged into her MSN and ICQ, couldn’t wait to bind the Microsoft community, and imported her friend list into the community.
What she didn’t expect was that she was not fast. Many classmates and friends had completed registration and friend introduction one step ahead of her, and some people had even started posting and communicating in community forums.
【Netizen 1】: Wow! Very cool site, I think I’ll love it here.
[Netizen 2]: In the penguin community of plagiarism, Bill has no morals.
[Netizen 3]: Penguin is also plagiarizing 1CQ, so don’t say anything about plagiarism, just create a website we like, and let God judge who is right and who is wrong!
[Netizen 4]: What about him! All I can say is that Microsoft has done a great thing and I love this community.
In addition to these netizens who made comments at the first time, some people also posted to discuss what kind of results the Penguin community that went online two hours later would achieve.
[Netizen 1]: To be honest, although the Microsoft community has copied Penguin’s functions, there is no doubt about it. However, I am not optimistic about the Penguin community, they do not have MSN and ICQ user import.
With the same features, it’s hard for them to beat Microsoft.
[Netizen 2]: I agree with the view above. Penguin is a Chinese company after all. Maybe they don’t understand the needs of American netizens.
[Netizen 3]: Don’t you think that Microsoft society is more humane than Penguin and more in line with our aesthetics? I don’t think a Chinese company understands Americans better than Microsoft.
[Netizen 4]: This is indisputable. Who would use a website developed by a group of yellow-skinned monkeys? That must be a sloppy, unfashionable, crappy site, I’m a firm believer in that.
Although they deliberately slandered, the abusive netizens did not make up the majority, and most netizens remained rational and made objective evaluations.
However, at least their ideas are the same, Penguin can not compete with the Microsoft community.
They will lose miserably in this competition.
At the same time, Bill, Kraug and others are also very concerned about the launch of the Microsoft community.
In just five minutes, the number of visits to the Microsoft community has exceeded one million, the number of online users has exceeded 90,000, and the number of registered users has exceeded 100,000.
The originally empty forum was filled with posts from various netizens, and the total number of posts and replies exceeded 50,000.
Moreover, these figures are still growing rapidly.
Seeing these data, a group of Silicon Valley bigwigs could not help but smile knowingly.
Kroeger, “I said long ago that our cooperation has no rivals. I really want to see what Qi’s expression looks like now!”
Although Kraug did not provide any technical support for this joint community, after all, he made chips. But when it comes to money, he and Beal have the most to do, and are eligible to stand here.
Filo nodded and smiled, agreeing with Kroeger.
The strong alliance of several of them is undisputed and has no rivals.
Microsoft’s brand appeal, MSN and icq’s drainage, plus Ferro’s ability to make a website. And strong financial and operational, technical team support.
Such a fantastic lineup is enough to daunt any opponent.
“Actually, the Penguin community doesn’t have any innovations in content and technology. Their genius lies in content integration.”
From a professional point of view, “the ability of the Penguin community to swept across China is not because of their special content. It is also a regular routine of forum activities, friends, news search and other functions.”
“Strength is strong. Penguin integrates these elements well, and then uses the operation team to guide netizens to invest in their integrated topics and content.”
“In this way, the user’s experience will become better and more immersive.”
“For example, their topic rankings, as well as [interest groups], etc., allow users to join the forum, make friends, and discuss hot topics and common hobbies.”
“This is the key to Penguin’s success! As long as they find their core, it is not difficult to surpass them.”
Bill, Klauger and the others nodded in agreement.
Bill, “It’s true! Like Qi Lei’s blog, the key to attracting traffic is the hot search list.”
“That has become the vane of China’s online public opinion.”
Kroeger laughed, “Bill, now you don’t have to worry, because Filo has completely replicated this set for us, and the penguin is over!”
He even tried hard to imagine what it would be like when a large number of curious netizens poured in when Penguin was officially launched in more than an hour.
Although their content is the same as the Microsoft community, even though they are copied by the Microsoft community.
However, they have no friends to import, no traffic to guide.
That is to say, most community functions are obsolete, temporarily unavailable, or have no experience at all.
Of course netizens won’t buy it, of course they will compare the two. When…
Just wait to be scolded!
Moreover, Kraug is not at all worried about what new content will be released by Penguin.
The core of a community website is actually group division, making friends and interacting.
And this is precisely what the penguins who have just landed in the United States do not have.
Imagine that you landed on the Penguin community, and although you like the style of the site, you decide to stay and use it for a long time.
However, all your MSN friends are gone, and the netizens on ICQ are nowhere to be found. You need to re-establish your social circle.
That’s definitely a bad thing.
This alone, the Microsoft community can beat Penguin.
“I really want to go to Seattle to see Qi’s expression in person!”
When Ferro heard this, he smiled, “I think Mr. Qi Lei should not have time to receive you.”
Kraug, “Why?”
Ferro, “Because he will personally command the Penguin team and modify the website!”
If you don’t launch any explosive content, plus the stock market is suffering from Waterloo, then the penguin will die!
Where’s the time to entertain Kraug?
“Hahaha!” Klauger laughed. “It turns out that Ferro is also a humorous guy.”
“However, then I’m more looking forward to what the Penguin community will be like after it goes online.”
“I don’t know if Qi can improve the website within an hour.”
eight o’clock.
After two hours, the number of visits to the Microsoft community has exceeded 10 million.
The number of registered users worldwide has reached 1.5 million, which is quite an explosion.
Klauger was a little envious, “Bill, your stock is going to go up again tomorrow.”
As he spoke, he entered the website address of the Penguin community.
Browser connection…
Everyone also held their breath. Qi Lei’s social networking site was finally launched.
But, oh! !
The moment the website opened, accompanied by a crisp Windows system sound, all the big guys were all dumbfounded.
“ShitWhat’sthis!
I saw that the webpage retains the style of the penguin, and the overall tone is blue and white gradient, which makes people look very comfortable.
In the upper right corner, there is a fat penguin animation image, followed by loo-a penguin community with four art fonts.
The following is a dividing line, and there are two small characters on the far right that are not eye-catching, but not inconspicuous: [North America].
It should be the division of different regions by the Penguin community, just like the Microsoft community has also divided North America, Europe, South America and Asia,
It’s nothing special.
Then…
Not so much anymore!
Nuoda’s net surface, in the middle, is a pop-up window frame.
[Due to technical reasons, the launch of the Penguin Community North America station has been delayed. 】
“What the **** is he doing!?” Klauger’s tone changed.
After thinking about it, he didn’t expect Qi Lei to have a delay!
Neuropathy?
Delay? Coward? Don’t you dare to confront the Microsoft community?
Then you can’t delay, can you?
This… what is this for?
Vanessa spent the night in the Microsoft forums, discussing various topics with netizens from all over the world. She is very satisfied with the community experience.
As a member of the school’s cheerleaders, Vanessa is a beautiful girl and is eager to show herself. She has uploaded her photo to the website and has received a lot of likes and replies.
At 8 o’clock, she planned to go to the Penguin community to have a look. After all, the news of the two community networks competing on the same field is well known.
Even if Vanessa has identified herself as a big fan of the Microsoft community, that doesn’t stop her from going to Penguin to satisfy her curiosity.
This is the same idea as the vast majority of netizens. The penguin community instantly flooded with a large number of tourists to see the real face.
However, no one thought that it would actually be a pop-up window, delaying the launch! ?
What are you doing?
Vanessa stared at the blank web page for a long time, then reacted and immediately switched back to the Microsoft community to post a comment.
“The Penguin community has been delayed, and you don’t even have the courage to fight?”
As soon as the post was posted, it received a lot of replies.
[Netizen 1]: I was surprised that it was delayed.
[Netizen 2]: Ha! Is this the courage of the Chinese?
[Netizen 3]: This is the biggest joke I’ve seen this year, it’s delayed haha! Bill defeated China’s No. 1 social networking company in just two hours! Hahaha! !
[Netizen 4]: I agree with the statement above! Q, how long does it take to beat a Chinese company? A: Two hours.
[Netizen 5]: The cowardly Chinese people are speechless. I am a loyal fan of the Penguin community. They surrendered like this!
Well, Qi Lei, who is far away in Seattle, also freezes his computer screen on an empty web page.
However, the expression is not as wonderful as Klaug.
He looked at Brother Ma, Uncle Geng, Zhao Wei, and Wu Ning behind him, smiled, and asked, “You said Bill, Klauger and the others are going crazy?
“Humph!” Brother Ma sneered, “I guess you are in a hurry to hang yourself?”
When Qi Lei heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, “I’m really sorry!”
It’s still online on the same day, and why is it two hours earlier for Lao Tzu?
Of course, ~www.mtlnovel.com~ also has friends imported from MSN and icq.
This is all the rest of Lao Tzu’s game, okay?
“Alas!” A long sigh, “Lonely!”
“Bill thought I was going to fight him here?”
“Why didn’t he think that our first shot was not going to be fired in the United States!”
Vanessa interacted with the netizens in the Microsoft community for a while, and then switched back to the Penguin community page.
To be honest, she still can’t accept this fact.
Actually, delayed surrender?
Looking at the website in a daze, why is this happening?
She even fantasized that it was just that there was a problem with Penguin’s operations, and that this announcement was sent by mistake.
However, she obviously thinks too much.
The webpage freezes on the sentence [Due to technical reasons, Penguin Community North America Station, delayed launch].
Between boredom, Vanessa unconsciously moved the mouse to the right of the dividing line, on the word [North America].
“Huh!?” Vanessa was startled.
Because the word [North America] automatically pops up a drop-down menu:
[North America] [Japan and South Korea] [Europe] [South America] [Southeast Asia] She suddenly thought of something and looked at the announcement.
North America is temporarily suspended, so it won’t be… Is it normal in other regions?
With the mentality of trying it out, Vanessa chose the European station with the most similar culture.
Then, “WTF!?
The European station is open normally.
