My rebirth is different

Chapter 398 Supervision and Mining

As mentioned earlier, a celebrity-only section is set up on a relatively conspicuous location on the Facebook homepage.

In this special area, there is a leaderboard, which is a place where celebrity fans help their idols make the rankings.

In addition, although there is another column that is not as conspicuous as the hot list, it should not be underestimated.

After all, now on Facebook, the celebrity section has the largest traffic, as long as any content appears in the celebrity section on the homepage, the number of clicks is extremely high!
This column is called "Editor's Recommendation".

Wu Xiu's greatest authority as the "Editor-in-Chief of the Celebrity District" is to decide the content of the "Editor-in-Chief's Recommendation" column.

She can display some interesting content in this column based on the recommendations of her staff, or by herself.

At present, Facebook has not yet established a separate branch company. It is still a project department under Star Technology, and its personnel are mainly technical employees.

So although Wu Xiu has the title of editor-in-chief, in fact, he doesn't have many employees to manage. He just hired a few non-technical interns, which can be regarded as the establishment of the "highest authority" of the Facebook Celebrity Zone!
Don't tell me, everyone in Wu Xiu's team is quite enthusiastic about this job.

As young people, I like to use Facebook, and most of them like celebrities.

Well now, the content of the job is directly on Facebook, and I am still in charge of the celebrity section, and my hobby has become a job. This is definitely everyone's dream.

But Wu Xiu also understands that Facebook is not a small website, and it cannot act arbitrarily, let alone work according to one's own preferences, and must distinguish between public and private.

Especially the management of this kind of celebrity zone, if it is not done well, it will cause commotion among fans. It must be "fair, just, and open" and there must be no partiality.

These things, just after the group was established, Wu Xiu emphasized it to several employees many times.

She herself is also strict, and has very strict requirements on the content appearing in the "Editor's Recommendation" column.

Those that can appear in this column are roughly divided into three categories.

The first tranche is of course the latest news of the big stars. There is no way, these big names are the face of the celebrity section on Facebook, and appropriate resources must be given to them.This point was also written in the cooperation contract at the beginning.

Of course, there are many celebrities on Facebook, it depends on Wu Xiu's grasp who will give it to whom.

After Wu Xiu and the others discussed in the group, they divided the stars into several tiers. The highest tier is all "kings and queens". Of course, the faces of these big names have to be recommended in turn.

For the Facebooks of the remaining first-line stars, it depends on whether they have released important content or interesting content, otherwise, they will not easily be included in the editor-in-chief's recommendation column.

As for the second- and third-tier starlets, it's not that there is no chance of being featured, but the probability is very low. There must be a certain specialty that can make everyone's eyes shine, and then the website will also give support.

This third gear is actually the focus of Wu Xiu's efforts.

Everyone is familiar with super-stars. In fact, there is no need for website promotion and publicity. Fans have already paid attention to what they should pay attention to.

Small stars, especially interesting ones, are potential growth points.

Before taking office, Wu Xiu once asked Yu Wenfei about this question, that is, how to do a good job as the supervisor of the celebrity zone.

If this kind of small question was asked by others, Yu Wenfei would probably not bother to answer it.

As a supervisor, you don't know how to do your job well, so you should give up your position as soon as possible!
But Wu Xiu is different, the relationship is extraordinary, Yu Wenfei patiently told her a lot of things.

In 2003, the Internet industry was still in the stage of "barbaric growth". Everyone was staking their land and operating extensively.

Even a website like Facebook is managed very meticulously and operated with great care.

Blog sites, including portal sites, actually do content, but they do different content.

In terms of management, blog sites are much more difficult than portal sites, and there is no comparison in terms of content review.

The portal website has its own editorial team, and the company decides what content to publish by itself, which is very convenient in content control.

But blog sites are different. There are tens of thousands of individual users, and others can post whatever they want. It is very difficult to monitor the website.

With the size of Facebook, tens of millions of registered users, there are naturally all kinds of people, and among them, there will inevitably be all kinds of messy content.

However, supervision is very, very troublesome and requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

Fortunately, the policy was still very loose at that time, and the atmosphere was relatively good. The country didn't care about these remarks on the Internet, and there were no corresponding policies and regulations.

Seriously, if it is based on the standards of more than ten years later, one of those websites in [-] will be counted as one, and all of them will have to be closed, and the person in charge will go in to drink tea!

Facebook has already begun preparations for content regulation.

Ordinary users have few fans and little influence, so there is no need to focus on monitoring for the time being.

But celebrities are different. They have a large number of fans and great influence, so their Facebook content must be supervised.

Wu Xiu's team's first major job responsibility is to review the Facebook content of celebrities.

Yu Wenfei specifically mentioned that political content must be handled carefully, and if it is not handled well, it can be temporarily blocked.

There are stars on Facebook from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, so it’s hard to guarantee that a few “flies” will appear. If a certain celebrity makes an inappropriate comment and causes discussions on the Internet, Facebook doesn’t want to be interviewed by the competent authority because of this.

This is the first point and the most important work content of Wu Xiu's team.

The second aspect is to discover newcomers.

Facebook not only has big names, but also many small stars who are not yet famous. How to find potential newcomers is a test of Wu Xiu's ability.

This has potential, not referring to the potential in singing and acting, that can only depend on the artist's own efforts and luck.

Rather, it refers to the potential to attract users' attention on Facebook.

Yu Wenfei knows that the Internet can also "make stars"!

There are many Internet celebrities in later generations, but they are much more famous than some small stars, and they can also bring a lot of traffic to the website.

And these singers and entertainers already have greater advantages than ordinary people, and they are also the most likely to become Internet celebrities.

If Wu Xiu and the others can dig out a few typical representatives, and Facebook will directly make these people popular, then Facebook's influence will be further expanded.

A website with the ability to create stars is a different concept.

In the future, when Facebook talks about contract renewals with these stars, it will also have a greater say!
…………

Therefore, after talking with Yu Wenfei, Wu Xiu set herself the following responsibilities: Supervise content and discover new stars!
