And the things about Baidu

Introduction: I was in Friday in Csdn and Blogspot on the "talk about Baidu that little Thing" (hereinafter referred to as "saying", this article attached to the full text), a simple expression of why they do not like to use Baidu's reasons. Although the response of netizens unexpectedly enthusiastic, a few days click over million, and from the content of the message to see the majority of support, but because the second point of view of the logic of the article is a mishap (I actually took my Chinese blog two English keywords to comment on Baidu's Chinese search ability, it seems near midnight writing something brain a bit), In the spirit of rigorous and realistic attitude, I was in Sunday and Tuesday in my wall inside and outside the blog to delete this article respectively. After all, the logic of the mishap for Baidu caused by unfair evaluation is I can not accept, plus "said" written in bedtime, time is tight and the mind is not the best state, so many words have not said.

The Friday article "talking about the Baidu thing", sent to their own walls and outside the wall of the blog, many netizens have access to comment, a few messages also let oneself change a point of view to a lot of problems, and later found that the text has a logical mishap, I decided to withdraw this article, Have time to leave a message and in a more in-depth factual analysis of the ideas put more facts to rewrite.

Results from Monday to yesterday in the CSDN have a netizen message question why "said" a text disappeared, there are enthusiastic netizens to send a letter over to say "said" a text is harmonious, please send the original text, and leave the mailbox. And from the Blogspot visit statistical analysis, some netizens through Google search or Web proxy, etc. into view this article (in writing this "plus" when a alcatel-lucent Shanghai LTE engineer also sent a link to provide Soso snapshot links, thank you). I really appreciate the trouble of netizens to see the text of the logical mishap.

In this special statement, there is a major logical mishap in the article "Talking" is the important reason to delete this article (in addition to the rest of the views I still retain), and CSDN site management policy and related laws and regulations have no connection, is purely my personal to appear logical mishap can not forgive personal behavior. In addition to a few days, see it news, Baidu browser name of the newspaper, the so-called "client strategic layout" (or "desktop layout", Baidu official internal name unknown) to get involved in a wider range, and Baidu and interactive Encyclopedia of the saliva battle escalated to the interactive request to split the point of Baidu, Well, by analyzing these freshly released messages, say Baidu that little thing, strive to achieve personal view of the building on the fair and objective facts above (Note: This article does not involve domestic relevant Internet policy and regulations on industrial impact of the discussion), and put forward seven possible constructive views.

The first time I found two review articles to see Baidu Browser, the first article (this article network reprint rate Extremely high) the author joyful sentiment is palpable, obviously this text Queen's meaning is very heavy, certainly this is out of my small heart his gentleman abdomen "the speculation", said that it has the soft text suspicion and has no evidence. But I admit, for the "amazing" features mentioned in this article, as a person who is now writing this blog or using ScribeFire in Chrome, I and the author did inadvertently form the art of "between the" effect, there is no surprise; the second one belongs to the nature of personal blog, The pros and cons of the words interspersed between the lines, and its core, HTML5 support has been tested, the individual prefers this objective calm evaluation text. Baidu into the ranks of the browser, it is not strange, yesterday and friends ridicule Baidu for the traditional desktop market there are still not involved, the result is four: operating system, killing soft, office, download. This means that Baidu in the desktop market almost with the exception of Microsoft outside the vast majority of domestic and foreign manufacturers compete for cakes. The figure below is Tencent's Baidu desktop layout (in which the network navigation does not belong to the desktop client, it should be Tencent Technology clerical error).

For an enterprise strategy to comment, pure good or bad is difficult to achieve a comprehensive objective. It's not a bad thing that Baidu has enemies in desktop software. Baidu's massive entry into the desktop field, on the surface is not at least for the following subjective and objective reasons: first of all, the subjective Baidu Hope Unified Hua Yi, on each cake grab a mouthful, this view in the "said" a third point of view I have a simple comment, no longer repeat; objectively, this has a great relationship with the domestic user habits. Domestic users due to broadband capabilities, network and site stability and personal privacy protection is not perfect, and many other reasons, for the Internet products how much there is distrust, the total sense of the server side of the capabilities of the illusory, as well as their own installation of a software in the local. To put it simply, if the QQ or the flying Web side can provide the same ability, you will use the Web version or the client version of Which? Taking an extensive sample sample to investigate this problem naturally knows the different attitudes of users at home and abroad about desktop clients. This, in contrast, explains why Google attaches more importance to the gtalk Web side than the client side, while also understanding why Google shuts down the official explanation of the GIZMO5 's independent client business (whether it is unclear for business reasons).

Top two surface reasons there is actually an important market driver: a short-sighted view of profitability. According to the data, Baidu 2009 annual operating income of 4.448 billion yuan, an increase of 39.1%, the annual operating profit of about 1.605 billion yuan, the year-on-year growth of 46.3% (2010 annual data has not been announced, can be expected to increase the growth rate only). The rapid accumulation of wealth in addition to the recruitment of Baidu in the 2010 campus (social recruitment is not known) a large number of recruit (this is beyond reproach, its rival, Google, as well), but also caused the company's rapid expansion of business. Obviously, the latter is more to show the level of decision-making and determine the company's business future. Can be as a general user, we see is not with the network business side but more like rar than WinRAR, do not support the modification of Address bar search engine, not support HTML5 and other future standards but more like chrome than chrome Baidu Desktop browser, There is more than UC and Tencent browser more like the combination of Baidu Mobile browser, known as "seven functions" but when you understand the seven major functions are: to support the function of shortcut keys to modify or set up, automatically record the last viewing position, automatically add similar files to the playlist, screen-cutting function, Play the front end (personally feel that this is also listed as a major function is really puzzling), compatible with the mainstream film and television media format playback, the edge of the bottom of the broadcast function you basically do not have any impulse to try Baidu player ... Baidu's business choice to the outside world feel as if is "always in imitation, never go beyond." This imitation is more of a melee in a field that even a few companies are involved in. One of the thousands of listening is a Baidu for the rapid expansion of business, for its business integration no more in-depth thinking of the case.

July 2006, Baidu bought thousands of listening, this software is my only use of Baidu desktop products. But today, this highly popular software has not been Baidu's entire product line of integration, if not someone told you it was five years ago is Baidu, you will not see it has any contact with Baidu. The version I use is 5.7 official edition, 2010, but even in the "Related LINKS" section of the menu there is no Baidu and the shadow of its online music products. Back to Google Music (which refers to Google musical search for the mainland part), through with the Whale Music Network (www. Top100.cn, the website dedicated to the online music version of the cooperation in 2008 online, through Google AdSense advertising revenue and record companies and Whale Music network, in line with Chinese consumers free online music provides a new way of thinking and business model. Online music market, Baidu also tested in January 2011 on the line of genuine music, but this is a bit of a lot of lawsuits under the pressure. Both genuine and free are the trend of online music, the former is the copyright need, the latter is China's national conditions. Over three or four years ago, Google as a foreign manufacturer have seen the trend, Baidu as a local enterprise, but only to see the free of this side, I personally think is not the level of Baidu decision-making levels (after all, as an Internet media enterprise (it is not a traditional Internet technology enterprises) Sina are aware of the music is authentic), But "playing the edge, loopholes," the short-term profit view led to the first free pirated music search, after a few years forced genuine music online such a passive situation. I do not know after 5.7 version is not trying to integrate its relationship with the Baidu music, since as early as in 2006 acquired thousands of listening, early Baidu if the use of thousands of listening to listen to the huge installed capacity, and the use of its domestic influence and popularity, Baidu music was earlier than Google music on the original, free dual-track, and then the music service from the line To the desktop, occupy more online and desktop market, but today, Baidu's thousands of listening and Baidu music is still basically irrelevant. In addition to installation requirements I set the homepage to hao123.com and install Baidu toolbar Two rogue acts, this software and Baidu Basic no relationship, in fact, add a Baidu logo is also a sign of identity.

This is only in the desktop software part of Baidu's short-sighted profit view of a glimpse. This is especially true for products on the line, and the famous and persistent bid ranking is actually one example, as mentioned in the "talking" article. Seems to have created a new business model, realize the maximization of corporate interests, but this is to lose the user and other site traffic as the price, for users, for the internet industry, from a long-term point of view is not necessarily a good strategy, bad reputation, industry is not good, or make enemies too much, in turn to Baidu Long look, Bidding rankings are not the best route to choose from. "Give money to let you in line first, do not give money let you disappear" such a strategy. Regardless of business ethics, and its own many hidden dangers, the recent interactive encyclopedia and Baidu's lawsuit is an example, can be foreseen after such things will be more frequent with the implementation of the strategy of bidding ranking.

In short-sighted profit view, Baidu wealth accumulation speed too fast, also lead to money to come too easy, too fast, which in turn leads to do not know where the money should spend. So, hundred pressure, Baidu video playback and other software appear debut, published product features in addition to let people think to find a few students use open source software for interface development and beautification, and then part of the function of a few enhancements can do things, big companies to make it is not but the outside, Also can only prove that Baidu wants to use melee tactics to rob the interests of the enterprise development concept. Then what software has been pushed over a time, users do not know now Baidu's foothold in what place, which is Baidu's forte, as users which products Baidu do more than others, more personalized degree, use better. In addition, the company's product line integration action is obviously not able to keep pace with the overall expansion of the business, which is partly attributable to the uncertainty of the company's strategic line.

In addition to short-sighted interests and the accumulation of wealth too quickly caused by the company's strategy is not clear, another one of Baidu's damage to the industry is to hope to make unification. Large companies involved in desktop small software, small online business, and further squeeze the entrepreneurial and innovative small companies of the market and interests, long seems to be not very good for the development of the industry. I do not elaborate on this point of view, the use of good soft bloggers written by the very clear. I will elaborate further on his point of view as to why not to do so.

The last point is some retreat, but also to mention that it is business ethics. A large company in this land to survive and develop, this consideration and high-quality products will promote users in two ways more want to use their products and services, and Baidu ranked a large number of counterfeit drugs, such as the exposure and report is really degrading its position in the country. Against the domestic industry's Ma Yun and his Ali department, February 21, 2011 Alibaba admitted that 2009, 2010, respectively, 1219 and 1107 Chinese suppliers involved in fraud global buyers, respectively, accounted for the year of the gold supplier members of 1.1% and 0.8%. Alibaba CEO Wei and COO resignations both resigned, even for the show, even in some do not know for business purposes, the show is doing well. Jack Ma in the 2011 Annual meeting of Taobao stressed "must oppose bureaucracy, to prevent corruption", the "show" has also done to make people admire.

Here are some of my own constructive views, these suggestions are only as I, a participant in the Internet development of the personal perspective of ordinary people, there are inevitably idealistic, narrow and biased.

The 1th proposal is to establish a research institute of the Nature of Baidu, independent research and development and basic innovation. Now I learned that there is no similar internal Baidu, the research ability of people will be dispersed to various business units, do not do business only study technology, the general level (Baidu internal called T) is relatively high. But it is difficult to concentrate on the strength of the forces, the market and the technology sector has a precise, unique and rapid response. The establishment of the Institute this is simple to say, Google, Ali, Yahoo and traditional IT companies, such as IBM Microsoft also have relevant practices. Such basic research will bring good results, such as Facebook's research and contributions around Hadoop that are absolutely beneficial to its business. Last time a netizen message said "Baidu lacks scientists", I personally think this sentence is worth thinking. Of course, there are two basic problems to be solved, one is the product transformation cycle problem, after all, the Internet industry development speed is too fast, the second problem is the formation of a unique talent atmosphere is also Baidu I am afraid to explore more. If the Hurry Institute is not tenable, the next proposal can be used temporarily.

The 2nd recommendation is to leave staff with more time. If this is modelled on Google's model, then it is a big mistake. This proposal is not modelled on any company model, but is the inevitable rule of scientific research and innovation. According to Baidu's current schedule, able to put the business of things according to eight hours a day weekend do not work overtime for many employees are extravagant, which also have the mind to develop innovative thinking and do related exploration, if you have read a PhD at home and abroad, or have a better in foreign laboratories to read PhD students colleagues to compare, You know that the need for innovation and exploration may not necessarily be a person's IQ, but a relaxed and tolerant atmosphere. Behind the big stick waving, carrot in the front, as the middle of the group of developers, in addition to working overtime, earn some money, learn some technology, accumulate point experience on the resume and then leave, do not ask. Then this environment where the innovation, product Manager is also, we see a large number of Baidu products are common characteristics and others look like, of course, we can say that others copied Baidu, but from the on-line time to see, most of the time the fact is just the opposite, It is said that Baidu internal product manager to do product design samples are some direct to the existing other products of the screenshot (this argument has not been confirmed, is a friend in the chat, I hope argu this thing please bypass). I think the reason for this is that we have a mixed product design staff, but many times I am afraid that the company's progress too tight lead to no time to think about a lot of relationship. So, take your time,baidu.

The third suggestion is to connect the products. Do not say the traditional IT industry is the truth, the Internet industry has developed to today, the tight type of product chain to many extent determines the development of a large Internet company. The above example of listening is a good counter example, here we look at the demise of live space, Microsoft's live space life and constantly, it has a lot of time to complete the product line link, I give a very simple function: "I am in live Space on the article my friend MSN will get a reminder. This is not no one to do, but do not know why Microsoft officials have been slow to do such functions (may be in the user's interference considerations-in fact, this can be done through privacy and disturb settings, not not to do), eventually led to live space use fewer people and then die out of the history stage. and see Blogspot,google acquisition quickly after the product line link, Google docs,google account,google reader and other products docking, formed with Google account login Google Docs, Use Google Docs to write a blogger (blogspot), and then others will see text on Google Reader, and even reader can comment on a list of shared product lines. A better example is Android, where your Google calender and your contacts go with your mobile device, and the scheduling and communications are met. This is the benefits of connecting products, Baidu in this respect also need to have clear ideas.

The fourth proposal is related to the third proposal: learn to acquire and integrate quickly. This has to be said that Google and the traditional it enterprise IBM, the former acquisition of a considerable part of the product has become its core, such as Android in 2005, the blogger was acquired in 2003, YouTube was acquired in 2006, And the latter's five software product lines in addition to DB2 and WebSphere are their own children, for Tivoli, Lotus and RATIONAL,IBM are playing a successful stepmother identity, after the acquisition of SPSS in 2010, IBM as a stepmother another heavyweight child , and these products in the integration of IBM under great efforts. As a participant in the two development of the personnel I have experience, have to say that although very expensive difficult to use, but the integration is really very good, performance and stability are not said. These are examples of industry success, although there is no such two companies deep pockets, but Baidu can also be in this area more effort, do not have to kiss, spent money is not flattering, and even scolded.

The fifth proposal is to participate more in industry standard setting. Although Baidu has no say in the whole world, as an emerging company, actively participating in the future of Internet standards is also a good choice, such as Google or Firefox for some web standards support, Baidu can also spend a lot of energy and money on these seemingly not earning things.

The last two suggestions are retreat, one is Baidu to think more of their own positioning. In addition to earning money, the outside of Baidu's positioning is "Rob Money" (near the violence of the looting does not belong to their own market). Such positioning may be unfair, but as Baidu, more is not and others exhausted their energy, but to think about why in this era has g powder, but there is no "Baidu powder", simply use worshiper such words to explain how much a bit self-deception. If Google is domestic, and Baidu is a foreign company, I believe there is g powder, or even more. In this era, the term "domestic" is often not necessarily a reduction of items, see how you use, how to create.

The last one is the seventh proposal is a retreat, but may have a great effect on the development of enterprises: confidence in themselves. This is really nonsense, Mr. Li in the annual annual meeting of Baidu also did not say less, but it is another taste. Baidu player propaganda (do not know is not official propaganda, if not this can only prove that Baidu's propaganda department can not cope with the rapid expansion of products) unexpectedly can say "can let the player top" is a major function, which not only embodies the product itself is not characteristic of the essence, Also embodies in the product design positioning Baidu's product manager or decision maker of the product confidence. Anyone who has seen the movie "social networking" will have a deep impression of Mark Zuckerberg, "This thing isn't cool, I don't do it." Baidu now has the money to market, is it possible to more such considerations. Do not always imitate, do not want to go beyond.

The above is I want to add the point of view, or that sentence in the comments I this text is not Ali, UC, Interactive Encyclopedia, Google and other companies of the multi-body in one of the soft text before, please put the facts to reason.

Enclosed is the full text of "talking about Baidu" except the logical mishap of the second point of the original.

Having recently been busy with it news, I feel that the local it news is more like some kind of entertainment express from a long-distance car. Zhou Yun teacher often said that I should write more things, rather than in the school on the daily reprint, and right now there is a topic, write a small text.

For the so-called Chinese first search engine Baidu company, although I am the G powder, but I am not biased against the company, or even more or less with a bit of China feeling, like the men's football, I like Argentina and Germany, but for China's soccer, the feelings are somewhat complicated, It is unfair to judge a measure simply by love, hate, or even patriotism.

The three main reasons for not liking Baidu very much are:

Since I know it for commercial purposes to rank search adjustment, I have a great deal of questions about its search results, and Baidu through a large number of counterfeit advertising to make money is detrimental to business ethics, and even the business strategy for many years has been so overtly seemingly engaged in, the following link for the card.

Objectively speaking, in fact, bidding ranking is just a business strategy, although I do not like, but I feel that there is no reason to say there is no.

The second reason is Baidu's search results relevance is not strong (this remains to be argued, the original article has a mishap)

The third reason is Baidu's recent corporate strategy, let me this small spectator more interesting. Baidu to pay thousands of listening to buy down, I think there is some truth, how can also with Baidu MP3 connection as product line downstream, Baidu do input method also has some truth, after all, can pull on the Internet. Baidu to do the player, the computer housekeeper is a bit outrageous, apparently the so-called Internet companies began to carry out the so-called client strategy. Today, I saw a news, said Baidu has no network connection of the compression software, but also open source software. I can only say that I was deeply in the Thunder, the impression that this is Baidu's first open source software, the "Virgin open" contribution to such high-tech gadgets, students find a few casually changed to 7z can also write out. It mentions that they have a name called. Bai compression format, I completely silly, even if I use. Bai compression, I really do not dare to pass this document to who ... I am afraid that others scold me is Baidu's child care. This kind of enterprise strategy actually many originates from our nation's feudal consciousness: bigger and stronger, eminence. But Baidu or Tencent do not know, in this era of specialization is kingly, expect to put all the cake to their own mouth Rob business strategy is not a wise move. And it's not realistic to knock down all the small businesses, and it's not good for the industry to develop for long. IBM's successful transition to hardware and notebook services such as hard drives and networking equipment proves that not everything in the field is a good business.

Go to sleep, it's written here. The last statement that Google did not give me money, if you have to say that this is a soft article, admitting that Google has brought me a high efficiency, enjoyable network experience and mobile phone terminal experience makes me like Google more than Baidu. Finally, I hope Baidu will take a lot of good programmers in China to do something reliable.
