There is little competition in the internet market?

Fresh fruit on the line for some time, the two days ago and their marketing staff chatted briefly, to see they remind me of 1 years ago to catch shrimp.

2006 years of catching shrimp is about the appearance of May or so officially born, less than 10 people's team, focused on products, a beautiful face, the first to enter the online RSS reading field, received a lot of attention. At that time, RSS reading is offline, Greader was still quite difficult to use, the market atmosphere is also good, a few factors, catch shrimp was pushed on the focus, quickly grabbed the majority of the market, the mode of change, or more in line with user habits, the former competitors a disappeared.

Catch shrimp with the product to obtain the user's approval, but also with the product adjustment and gradually lost some of the market. Later, the catch shrimp users constantly complained, slow, Ajax too much consumption of resources, poor browser optimization and so on. From my blog subscriptions and statistics, the market share of shrimp grabs has been eroded a lot, and fresh fruit is a new market that eats into competitors.

In fact, the commercial value of the RSS reader, I also have no opinion, but I think similar to catching shrimp in order to increase the flow of assorted things, catch shrimp will lose me such users, if I have not left, because I do not think there is a more appropriate service.

And that reminds me of another thing.

With the gradual increase of internet companies, market competition is inevitable. The desire of some companies, where there was no connection, has also been contested. VC often ask: "Where is your core competitiveness?" I used to think of the product, is still considered a product, and the VC surface recognition, but secretly think, there is more important resources. The future of competition, is undoubtedly the user's competition, although the resources, alliances, ads can pull users over, but whether the user likes your service, that is another thing. The focus of competition is at least very important on the one hand is in the product, or the user experience of the competition, access to the user's favor, there is a natural foothold in the market May.

From the beginning to seize the shrimp market, to catch the shrimp gradually lost market, this process is nothing but the changes in products and services, and for the excellent user experience products, why do I still have to control the former products? Unless I don't know, that is the question of the market and PR, not the product value and competition.

There is little competition in the internet market, if there is failure, not because of competition, but because they do not good, or no users know you. The market is very big, good products will have a market, even if the competition can also rob the market, no big deal. Once upon a time, people often ask, XX website how to have advantage, how do you compete? I was thinking about the need for competition?

Focus on their own services, excellent user experience, such a product user value is very high, and for there is no commercial value, it may be the beginning of the start-up of the set down, perhaps the founders themselves clearest, at least I am more inclined to do business value things, otherwise entrepreneurship became empty talk.
