My rebirth is different

Chapter 633
Since we want to find a way, we must first see what kind of things Dong Xiaoxue and the others have made, so that we can "prescribe the right medicine".

Yu Wenfei casually opened the Facebook video software that was in internal testing on the computer.

At that time, there were no regular video websites on the market, and some websites that provided downloads of pirated movies and TV series were also very simple and could not be played online.

Just kidding, the bandwidth of online playback is certainly not something that small pirated websites can afford.

Facebook Video is the first real video site!

Moreover, the video cannot be played directly on the Facebook video website, but there is a special playback software, and the video can be watched directly on the software.

This is done for several reasons.

The first one is of course anti-piracy!

Web page anti-piracy is difficult because there are too many crawling tools, but software anti-piracy has a lot of room for maneuvering, and in the era of mobile Internet, it can also be easily transformed.So this time, the Facebook video was completed in one step, and the video software was directly uploaded, skipping the step of the webpage.

The second is also to increase the playback speed. The Internet bandwidth is still limited, especially for many users whose Internet speed is not fast.

The Facebook video software also uses the same BitTorrent technology as the Facebook game platform, which allows users to significantly increase the network speed when watching videos.

The third, of course, is also for overall strategic considerations.

Occupy the user's desktop!
Now the Facebook family already has Facebook and the Facebook game platform. Among them, Facebook is still a web version, but the Facebook game platform has long been a software. If you add Facebook video and Facebook music.Then Facebook will have three software appear on the desktop of the user's computer!And it won't be long before Facebook will launch its own software version, slowly diluting the web version.

Don't underestimate the transformation from web pages to desktops. It is very difficult to develop user habits. However, once a habit is formed, Facebook will have a greater advantage in future competition.

I am used to using these software on my computer, and I will download it on my mobile phone as soon as possible in the future.

Moreover, there is another advantage of independent software, that is, these software directly appear on the user's computer desktop, and when the user wants to use it, he can directly click it to use it.There is no need to open the browser, search the website, enter the homepage, log in to the account and a series of tedious operations!

Facebook does not have browsers and search engines. If users need to jump through browsers and search engines, it is tantamount to going through other companies' platforms, and others will control the traffic entrance!

After softwareization, all the software of the Facebook family will become a traffic portal by itself, and you don't need to look at other people's faces to act!

Everything is to welcome the arrival of the "mobile Internet era".

At present, perhaps only Yu Wenfei knows that the PC era will end in a few years, and the mobile Internet era is coming!
Therefore, he has to prepare in advance.

………………

In addition, Yu Wenfei has another layer of deep meaning that he did not say, that is, since the Facebook family is rushing to become the leader of the global Internet industry.

Then, sooner or later, it will confront powerful opponents such as Tencent, Baidu, and even Google.

Tencent has not yet formed a climate. The moment WeChat went online, it basically entered a "countdown to death", so there is nothing to fear.

But Baidu, there is really nothing to do with it for a while.

Search engine is a technical task, let's not mention Dr. Li's character, but in terms of search technology, he is an internationally recognized "big cow" figure!

Even the two Google brothers were inspired by Dr. Li's lectures, and they came up with Google.

Therefore, Baidu's success relies on technology.

Facebook currently does not make search software, and the current Internet traffic entrance is the search engine!
In other words, Baidu controlled the traffic entrance of the domestic Internet, and those years were when Baidu was invincible.

Moreover, Facebook focuses on content and emphasizes copyright protection; Baidu is just the opposite. It can be said that most of the pirated versions on the Internet converge on Baidu, that is, relying on those pirated contents, Baidu can attract more users. .

In this regard, Facebook and Baidu must have a "tough battle" to fight!
Yu Wenfei's style is, either don't make a move, and once he makes a move, he will kill the opponent like a wind sweeping away the clouds.

Therefore, he started to prepare for the future confrontation now.

All the software of the Facebook family must make their own traffic portals to get rid of Baidu's "hijacking", so that when the real war starts, there will be no worries.

Google and Baidu are also search engines, which can be regarded as an enhanced version of Baidu for the time being.

The confrontation with Baidu can also be seen as a rehearsal before the battle with Google, and the preparations made will not be wasted.

………………

Facebook video software maintains the same style as other Facebook software, simple and easy to use!
The entire software interface is very clean, and the videos are divided into several categories. Click the corresponding button to enter the category page.On the main page, there are carefully selected TV series and movies arranged in small rectangular squares.

Yu Wenfei clicked on a movie at random and watched it. He felt that the picture quality was not good, but it was within acceptable range.

Of course, this is based on his request. If an ordinary netizen looks at it, they will probably exclaim that it is too clear!

After all, in the past, the pirated movies downloaded from the Internet were only tens of megabytes each, so the quality of the movies was blurry.

It’s not that Facebook videos can’t provide higher-definition videos, but that’s unnecessary, it takes up too much server space, and the network speed can’t support it. At present, this quality has been tested repeatedly, and most users can watch it smoothly. Caton 10 minutes to watch 1 minute.

"It's okay, is this software made by the technical team of Facebook?" Yu Wenfei asked casually.

Dong Xiaoxue said with a smile: "Yes, Facebook's technical team is really powerful, and they have come up with two softwares, video and music, in a short period of time, and they are impeccable in terms of user experience and functionality! "

In terms of technology, Facebook companies have always been very strong, and there are two or three thousand programmers, which are not for nothing.

Yu Wenfei turned off the video software, and then turned on the music software. When he saw the software interface, he was taken aback.

Because it looks kind of familiar...

Facebook music software is not like those music players on the market at the time.

At that time, other music players were all about compactness. Everyone's philosophy was that the smaller the space occupied by the software, the better, and the simpler the software interface, the better.

But Facebook music software is doing the opposite.

After opening, a big rectangle looks no smaller than video software.

The overall style is consistent with the Facebook video software, with elegant colors and friendly interaction.

But in terms of functionality, Facebook music software can not only play songs, it also has functions such as "discover music", "ranking list", "recommended song list" and "create song list"...

There may be other players for charts and playlists, but the "Discover Music" is the first of Facebook Music!
"What is this for? The system pushes songs?" Yu Wenfei asked.

Dong Xiaoxue smiled triumphantly, and replied: "Facebook has been researching big data, and this discovery of music is one of their research results, and this time it is used for our music software!"

"Ah? It's so powerful. I've used big data to recommend it. How's the effect?" Yu Wenfei smiled. Of course he knows what this "Discover Music" is for. In fact, after more than ten years, basically All content software above will have such a function.

But being able to do it in 2003, even if the effect is not so good, is quite remarkable!

"The effect is quite good! I heard from Mr. Lu that what latent factor algorithm is used.

The logical idea of ​​this algorithm is this.Every user has their own preferences when listening to songs. For example, I like songs with small freshness, guitar accompaniment, and girls' folk songs.The software will record my listening habits. If a song contains these elements, then recommend this song to me!

That is to use various elements to connect users and music.Each user has different preferences for different music elements, and each song contains different elements. Using a certain formula to calculate the weight of elements, the results will be very accurate. "Dong Xiaoxue replied.

Dong Xiaoxue's answer really surprised Yu Wenfei.

He doesn't know what algorithm those music players use more than ten years later, but it probably won't be better than this latent factor algorithm.

If that's the case, the Facebook music software is more than ten years ahead!
Click on a song at will, of course the lyrics display is indispensable, add to the playlist with one click, and download everything with one click.

What's new is that there is a comment area under the song!

Here, you can leave a message and post your comments on this song, and similar to Facebook, all comments can also be liked, forwarded...

"Is this connected with Facebook? Can comments be forwarded directly to Facebook?" Yu Wenfei asked curiously.

"That's right, Facebook Music is a project team under Facebook. We are all connected with Facebook. The accounts are shared. Songs can be forwarded to our own Facebook with one click, and song comments can also be forwarded." Dong Xiaoxue said with a smile.

"Not bad! These functions can increase user stickiness to a large extent. Did you come up with Dong Zong? It's amazing." Yu Wenfei praised.

"It's not my work alone, it's all discussed by the whole team. By the way, I pulled a team from the content editor of Facebook. They are all doing content. Text, music, and video have similarities. Everyone is also interested in this. Mr. Fei, you must not have imagined, who is my assistant now?" Dong Xiaoxue said with a mysterious smile.
