RSS is a small and useful tool

Let's start today's topic. The following first please Xu Yijong with us to briefly introduce catch shrimp, including at that time how to do this company, how to think of this name?

Xu Yijong: Sina's friend, hello, everyone, thank Sina and the host to give me such a chance, I will briefly introduce the situation of catching shrimp here, we are mainly in the Chinese online RSS reading this piece of the company, we have 2005 years of December just set up, at that time mainly two engineers, including myself, In addition there is a good friend of mine Zhang, we have long been doing data processing this piece, massive data processing this one, I am more inclined to data mining, Zhang more inclined to search.

We felt the urge to come out and do something, this thing can help China these people can better access to information on the Internet, we two more strong feeling at that time, that is, there are many things on the internet, good things especially, scattered in various places, but look more tired, I often have this feeling, Do not know what to do online, do not know what to do after the Internet? At that time, the northeastern people said that is flying blind, rush to feel, very bad, we use their own to do something, to solve this problem a little bit, hold such a purpose and idea, initially very primitive idea, we started from that time, in general this situation.

We've officially started, to our products selected, we from the online RSS reading angle of interest, choose such a way to go in, the middle probably experienced two or three months, the middle can be crazy to write code, development of this thing, their own trial, slowly use, to the last last April 2006 on the line, the previous months particularly hard, But the result is good, after the on-line we trained to get a lot of netizens support, probably from April to May when there are many articles to catch shrimp, slowly slowly step by step development, and now, I think the catch shrimp side let me feel a little bit more satisfied with the place, this thing does help a lot of people busy , I know a lot of netizens in fact they every day in the morning or evening, will catch shrimp to get their information, see a variety of fun things, or share some good articles with you. This is my feeling more comfortable.

Moderator: Several of you are also familiar with online subscriptions, when did you start to contact with shrimp?

Haenle: I specifically remember, but I have been looking for RSS subscriptions, the earliest foreign many, such as Bloglines, but also used domestic online subscriptions, I have used, but they do not have a continuous improvement of a concept in the inside, I used to feel bad use.

Then I contacted Professor Horon, and I met the shrimp-catching man, is Xu Yijong, I began to try, found really good, but for me to catch shrimp has always been like a personal tool, I always think that the internet has a lot of opportunities, but must do to help others solve the problem, I think catching shrimp is to help me solve the problem, I surf the internet every day to open two websites, one is the website that I work csdn, the second is to catch shrimp, catch shrimp is my real need to catch shrimp to understand what's going on in the world, what other people are writing, I don't think catching shrimp can make me succeed in my career now, but I get more information, I can do good things, is a good tool.

Moderator: Where's Horon?

Horon: I began to know the site of the shrimp in June, but I have been using bloglines, as if I was in fact more old-fashioned, I generally will not change things, my operating system may not be 35 years to reload, I use a software if I use 1.0 enough I will never upgrade, I see the shrimp is good but I did not change. Later more and more contacts, I began to register the official account, the more I subscribe to the more important blog guide over, with catch shrimp look, see the process found very good, including some hot recommendations, you can see others are also concerned about things, I think This experience is very good, in addition from my point of view of the technology to Xu Yijong understanding, and the way I look at catching shrimp, I think it's definitely more than that, and it's going to be a bigger, more useful thing, and I'll start to keep recommending it to the people around me, including Haenle, which I think is valuable, Sure enough, everyone used to feel good.

Moderator: Everyone to catch shrimp evaluation is relatively high, but I know cloth cotton prefer to use the client, cotton cloth you used to catch shrimp?

Xu Xianching: Actually very early know to catch shrimp, they release a few days I know, because indeed very early someone told me, behind did not care, I think this thing and foreign those no difference, but I found that subscribe to my blog A lot is through catching shrimp. But I didn't really think about changing the current approach, mainly because a lot of things clients can do, but not online.

Some of the latest tips are sorted after each coming up I can do more quickly, using shortcut keys this way will make a lot of people use, I think this way for my current mode of operation is accustomed, but I think more and more people are using to catch shrimp, to see RSS, I think this market will be an explosive market, But I am not very optimistic about the application.

Moderator: Easy, Xu Xianching think the prospects of online RSS is not very good, how do you think?

Xu Yijong: Actually, because I personally feel like this, because we do ourselves to catch shrimp an entrepreneurial company, we need to focus on the strength as much as possible, choose a more promising product, from this point can be beneficial to cut in, at the beginning I think the problem is not very small, because it must be a, I feel like a little bit, but a tool that can be useful, or a small product, or something like a tool, can make a lot of people, as long as it can use it to get something immediately, feel that this thing is good, and then down, must be cut from this point in, Local selection of other related things to further expand their positions.

In fact, on top of this, I think it's not very special, because if I start going in, everyone doesn't immediately feel that this thing is particularly good, there is a process, so we want to start with all the people feel that this thing must be very good, we will slowly to do this thing.

Moderator: Then you and he began to do online, at that time the client is also a more popular way.

Xu Yijong: This is a very important question, we discussed this on the above, because I think so, from the point of view of our own, we hope to be able to do such a thing, can help you to more effective access to information, at this time, the acquisition of information in fact there are several levels of meaning, One level is that I was able to get the information over, to help me get the message over, catch shrimp is to grasp the things, another level means that, after a lot of things back, there must be a more intelligent process, can be found inside the good things, bad things to put away, there is a screening process.
