Recently, in the Internet began to start a small team more and more, there are some good services, of course, not limited to my comments below these several, but these are actually used by me, I do not want to I have no use of service. These services have some basic commonalities: small team start-ups, low-cost operations, WEB 2.0 applications, and so on.

Tudou came out I was very concerned about, but has not seriously used its services, this period also with the founder Wang Micro (Gray) has not much email communication. I was immediately interested in the site after spending half a day thinking about the whole site until some time ago. I think Tudou's most valuable place lies in its accurate grasp of a trend, that is, the era of personalized publicity and increasingly simple audio-visual production technology. If you need to explain why Web 2.0 is not an empty label, Tudou is the best example. With a friendly technology platform, the user's potential desires are stimulated, so in Tudou, you can choose to be an actor, you can choose to do the audience, no matter what, are users and users of the mutual service and communication. Wang Micro to do is to continuously improve the technology platform, and through technical means, adjust the game rules on this platform. So Tudou is destined to be a live website.

Tudou's expected profit model is to participate in the split by helping program producers who have a demand for fees to provide charging tools. I don't know if this model is enough to support the development of Tudou, but there is no doubt that Tudou will bring value to its users. My guess is that Tudou will produce its own star and bring in a group of fans to form a huge community of young people. This model has been proven successful by MySpace, and with MySpace using existing bands to form a fan community, Tudou's stars are real grassroots stars, or they come from around us. For example, dear peas, "crazy girl for Fun", has been browsed more than 40,000 times. It's 1000 times times smarter than using FRJJ to attract cheap eyeballs.

Just got word, MySpace's big shareholder intermix has been bought by News Corp 580 million dollars, MySpace also became News Corp's website.

Although podcast has aroused a lot of attention, but the content of the release, display, sharing, browsing completely integrated on a platform, at least I have not seen. Tudou's good technical ability, as well as Wang's background, coupled with the leading concept, and a better open, cooperative mentality, these are the advantages of their development. Tudou's biggest risk is policy risk, which is likely to be higher for potatoes, even though the risks are almost common to all domestic websites. They may have to spend extra effort to monitor the content in a timely and appropriate manner, and that is no way to do it.

Bo read the web is another I am more concerned about the site, last week with Bo read the Zhanghui met, I face him said, for the time being, I have not considered my RSS feed from Bloglines to Bo Net, because I have to observe. The importance of RSS as a basic medium for future information flow is beyond doubt. Microsoft 's strong involvement in the RSS industry has shrunk the value of simple RSS service providers. Today I went to see the third version of Start.com, and found that Microsoft has done more and more good. But it's just a simple online RSS reader that doesn't have any social functions. Even in this version, the original OPML import feature was removed.

I choose RSS reader for 4 conditions: 1. Online; 2. socialization function; 3. search function; 4. Performance and stability. Bloglines basically have these conditions, but recently its plumbers appear to be too frequent, I wish he had a good rest, rare people. Especially last month my RSS feeds almost all lost, and is permanently lost, let me not confidence in the stability of Bloglines.

The reason I have to watch the blog is because I have some doubts about their ability to undertake this challenging job. One of the last things I like to do is move. Although I often get some new pleasure after moving, I think this process is a disaster. Bo read now from the idea to the interface, the overall imitation of Bloglines, is not a good thing. At least for me, this is not a way to please bloglines users, but rather to let users doubt your ability to innovate. Bo read the financial strength may not be a problem, but the lack of technical power and imagination may seriously restrict the BO read and many domestic web site development. You know, I want more than a RSS reader. The attraction of Bloglines is that it has all the content that the user chooses, and based on the mastery of the user's reading habits and the storage of huge amounts of data, the applications it can develop are almost limitless. This is the most fundamental reason why I am not optimistic about the client RSS reader.

Feedsky is another site to watch, and I'm not going to transfer my RSS feed for the time being, because FeedBurner is obviously doing better. Also, I handed to FeedBurner barbecue RSS Feed has more than 3,000 subscribers, I do not want to bother them to move a home, the so-called do unto others, others.

Of course, Lu Xinchin and his team are working hard, but the current bottleneck may still be technical. People need to have ambition, but first of all to have a clear understanding of their own abilities. RSS is a big industry, that's right, and FeedBurner currently occupies the position of RSS strategic passage between, they have their own complete business model, this mode is Feedsky can not be fully replicated. More importantly, FeedBurner's more than 10 team, is a team with unlimited creativity, this is very envy and envy. The premise is that they have excellent technical strength to ensure their creativity, and then slowly move towards their desired goals.

Feedsky to reflect its value, first of all to have a number of valuable customers, and with these customers to establish a virtuous industrial chain. Bokee RSS Expo is a lot of people's criticism, because they did not establish a benign relationship with customers, but unauthorized to the content of others completely open on their own website, whether or not to use these content to make money, it is immoral, serious point, is infringement. Feedsky can create its own value if it can build partnerships with dozens of of valuable sources of information, such as traditional media, and provide them with a full range of RSS solutions. But now the biggest headache for Xin Xin is that his technical staff is seriously inadequate, which undoubtedly limits the development of Feedsky. However, I do not understand that the people who are so understaffed have not put a "we need a hand" sign on their homepage.

WEB 2.0 is a generalization and a new concept. More and more practitioners through a specific application, let this idea materialize, and will gradually form a trend. All power belongs to the user, should be more than a slogan.
