What is the future of China's Web2.0?

What is the future of China's Web2.0?

Today, in my RSS reader, I saw a blog by uzone CEO saying goodbye to uzone. The story behind the story can be roughly guessed: VC is not satisfied with the poor performance of uuzone and has no business prospects, so I am ready to start uuzone.

This result is not surprising, because uuzone has never seen much traffic on the website, the target user group of the website is not clearly positioned, and the website lacks features, so there is no improvement in website operation, in addition, the page transparency effect of the new uzone version is also very poor. In short, this is an inevitable result. If you have been running a website for three years without any improvement, VC cannot survive. The next story is naturally quite imaginative: there is basically no major improvement in the downsizing, the dramatic revision of the website to seek advertising benefits.

In the second half of the year, the domestic Web2.0 website is basically in a tight state. It is expected that a large number of websites will be closed or withdrawn in the next year or two, and there may be very few websites that can actually survive. However, in my opinion, there are very few good Web websites that are actually designed and operated in China. In my opinion, they are nothing more than Douban and commenting on the Internet. Of course they are not warm enough, other websites that follow suit are even less valuable, and collapse is also reasonable.

The rise and fall of Internet Web websites are sometimes closely related to the social and economic environment and culture. For example, it is difficult to have a living space for a popular video sharing network in China. After all, the camera equipment in China is not popular, and video sharing websites are no different; another example is that some of China's relatively elegant Web websites are still hard to survive in China. As a country with low cultural quality among Internet users, elegance means too small demand. Web2.0 and the Chinese Internet do not match at all. China's social, political, economic, and cultural conditions determine that websites have very good business prospects only when they serve the most mass of low-quality internet users, for example, why are communities like mop and Tianya so popular in China and Baidu posts so popular are closely related to these reasons.

I believe that websites based on user requirements such as web that emphasize user feedback and content construction will succeed in China someday, but it will take a long wait, the day when China's political economy and cultural conditions are met.

Speaking of the javaeye website, I think javaeye2.0 is a very Web2.0-based website, and it is also stubbornly positioned to be elegant and crowd-oriented. It seems that there is no big business prospect. But what's different is that we don't need to invest. In a sense, we don't need to invest. Because we did not expect the javaeye website to be profitable and successful, this is also an unrealistic fantasy.

I hope that the javaeye website will always become a high-quality technical community, and it is sufficient to make a little money by recruiting businesses and website advertisements without making a lot of money, I was able to do what I was interested in, and I was satisfied with earning a little money.
