Anti-wave interview: Listen to Keso Randachen

He is learning Chinese, but ridicule, pointing it jiangshan;
Some people say that after the dust settles, today's Chinese bloggers can have no wood beauty, can not Xu Jing, but not without him;
He looks like a rock and roll youth, a long hair, typical of Shandong big fellow;
He once won the National Literature Prize, but today is hiding in the home, knocking on the keyboard, with blog impact on China's IT session;
He, is Keso.

Fei Pig: Keso This net name, what is the origin? Does it read Kaisou or Kesou?

Keso: Actually this I always say "indifferent", all can. It was originally read "Cough", the first name on the internet called "cough", Chinese cough. Later, when I wrote something on the internet, I felt that the name "cough" was not very good, so I took the English word which was similar in pronunciation-i sporogenous.

Fei-Pig: What about the cattle Randachen and playin ' with IT?

Keso: Well, I'll just say the same. Many people think that the cattle Randachen is a kind of insulting nature, in fact, is not, in fact, donews mixed people know that the donews in the net friends are called "cow", the calf Ah, old ox, casting pearls Before Swine, is actually donews between netizens should understand a statement. Randachen, I think this is a saying, Randachen is nonsense, to the cow Randachen, I think add this "disorderly" word, it is more fun.

Flying pig: When did you start to write this blog?

Keso:03 year December.

Flying pig: Did you go to donews (work) at that time?

Keso: No, not officially to donews. I have been in donews for a long time, since 01, but really to Donews, is donews Independent business operation, is 05. At the end of 03, I was still in pole, Chinabyte.

Fei-Pig: When do you write this blog, do you think there is a tipping point appear? Or is it a steady development?

Keso: I think it's roughly a steady growth. As I wrote at the beginning of time, about dozens of visits per day, sometimes occasionally break 100, Liu Yan said, you see a lot of ah, may soon be able to break through 500. At that time, 500 was a distant figure, but it soon broke through 500. And because I'm writing mainly about it and the Internet, the level of readers in this area may be higher than the average user, they know how to get the information they care about and how to use the modern information processing tools, so I also have some light on this. The number of RSS subscriptions, for example, is definitely the industry's people who know how to use RSS.

Flying pig: Yes. What is your current daily browsing volume, and how many subscriptions are there?

Keso: Browsing Volume I do not know, no specific statistics, the number of subscriptions is probably more than 80,000.

Fei Pig: This is the highest in Chinese blog, right?

Keso: Yes, this one too. As I said just now, stained with the reader's light.

Fei Pig: Many people say that your blog, than most of the It class blog to look good, you think the key reason is what? What problems do you pay attention to when you write?

Keso: The basic point is to speak in words. Do not say some insincere words, as far as possible how to say, how to speak at ordinary times, how to write. In addition, I write things more focused, and the internet and it has nothing to do, I basically do not write. Long-term focus (for the reader) will also form a reading expectation.

Fei Pig: You used to be the editor-in-chief of Donews, now come out to do the company, one out I found your blog update frequency suddenly dropped. The original Daily Digest also did not do, this is why?

Keso: It's also because of the previous busy period. Do things with their own customers, it can not be as before, to spend a lot of time for customers, it is natural. I have expected in advance, at the beginning of the year, the net picked to stop. Although many people think, stop this may not be conducive to traffic ah what, but also care about through this to bring them traffic. But I think that spend more time, need to open the page, and then submit the page to some nets to pick the station, this process is a waste of my time. In addition, I now use Google Reader to subscribe to the blog, I put my share directly to Google Reader, it provides this functionality. If users want to see the better things I've read, the same can be done with Google Reader's sharing feature.

Flying pig: Have you ever considered that the frequency of updates may decrease your influence? Or do you not care?

Keso: In fact, every day to update this, if the last, you do not have so much time to keep updated every day such frequency, may cause you write something more and more water, more and more not from the heart. This, in fact, is detrimental to the maintenance of influence. It's better to say something than that, have to say, have no say not to say, especially my readers are subscribed to, I do not update, they actually feel not, I update the time, he first time to get this update, so I think this impact is not particularly big.

Fei-Pig: Do you think the original influence is good for the company you are doing?

Keso: This is definitely good. I do consulting companies, consulting companies to measure whether you are worth consulting, I have a lot of customers inside, he recognized my value, will have such cooperation with me. This recognition, certainly still mainly through my blog.

Fei Pig: Originally you are an independent critic the same role, now you enter the industry, will not because of this, cause you have some scruples, such as some things you can safely say, now will think, can you say?

Keso: I have to say that there is no scruples, also does not conform to the facts, because there are some of your customers, your customer's problem, you will directly communicate with him, will not be written out. Before if he is not my client, I may write directly in the blog. Now I can communicate the problems I found directly with them. Of course there are some scruples in this respect, but overall, I commented on the scope of the larger, my clients are actually relatively few, so far, I have basically not how affected. In addition, there are many things, not necessarily criticized who, it is just my opinion, if you are more peaceful, you should find these views even if the criticism, in fact, it is also useful to you. I think we should all keep an open mind like this.

Fei Pig: To now nearly four years, you write blog has not persisted or want to give up the idea?

Keso: No. I've never had that idea so far. I think blogging is just like everyday life for me. Daily life, you will feel that there is too much food to insist on it? (laughter) No, it's not. Anyway, that's the same reason.

On the Internet, Keso is a mysterious person, he never wrote his life in the blog, then his life in the end what is it like? The next issue of anti-wave people's big talks, flying pigs continue to dialogue keso.
