Character is the primary factor in determining the success of a website

"Many people think the internet is technology, and for me the internet is actually human," Craig said in Why Craigslist. People keep in touch with the Internet. In this respect, the Internet has never changed since the day it was born. We help people find each other and enable them to express themselves. People can only express their opinions when they first identify with a community. With the development of the Internet, the only change is to have more people on the Internet. Craigslist is like a big family, people help each other and progress together. This is the thought that Craigslist has never changed. "(transliteration)

Craigslist can make today's success, and I think that's why Craig insists on the idea of "people-oriented".

Admittedly, technology can play an important role in the Internet, but any technology is inseparable from the "people-oriented" basis. Only the technology based on "people-oriented" can obtain the market recognition. Google's PageRank technology plays an important role in Google's development, but PageRank is based on an in-depth analysis of people's needs. No technology can succeed without a man.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. For a community, the attitude of the Community administrator directly determines the spirit and style of the community, and plays a decisive role in the development of the community. Users will be willing to join a community and then have the idea of communication if they first identify with the administrator. It is hard to imagine that people would be willing to participate in a community full of abusive, offensive, spam messages.

From this, I think of Yahoo China's failure. In fact, Yahoo China has all the factors to achieve success, brand, capital, technology, experience, timing, when Yahoo entered China, no one would doubt that it will occupy the majority of the Chinese Internet share. But why today, but ended up being sold to Alibaba such a second-rate company's fate?

I think that Yahoo China's biggest mistake is to buy 3721, and let Zhou Hongyi as president. 3721 of the rogue means known, Zhou Hongyi's character is also despised, so that a person with low character to control Yahoo China, the failure of nature is understandable.

Leopards, bad, for a rogue, because of his retarded, always think that their wits can be used repeatedly, but people can be rogue for a while, it is not possible to be rogue, so all the rogue can not escape the fate of extinction. From this point of view, Zhou Hongyi steered by the Qihoo, also difficult to escape the end of the closed.
