Thomas cramton: Chinese people use the online video platform in a very different way than Americans use YouTube.

The way that Chinese people use the online video platform is very different from the way that Americans use YouTube. Unlike short videos of cute animals or silly behaviors on YouTube, Youku and Tudou are more popular for a long time, and more than 70% of them are professionally produced. Chinese users spend an hour each day on these websites. Correspondingly, American users spend an average of 15 minutes each day. Therefore, the existence of video websites is, to a certain extent, like an online TV station or a digital video recorder. Although some people in China are making and posting videos, a large amount of video content is professional and long.

The demand for original content on Youku and Tudou has led to the vigorous development of online video companies. In some ways, these websites are more like variants based on American television service Hulu. Youku and Tudou, like TV stations, reflect the use modes of young people in China. If they are told that China is the country with the strictest social media controls in the world, Chinese college students are always skeptical, because they think the United States is the No. 1. (Views of foreign authors on China)

I like to raise the hand of a classmate who saw CCTV in the classroom last week. However, in general, no one raises his hand. But when I raised my hand to those who watched the video on Youku or Tudou in the past 24 hours, each of them raised their hands and laughed.

Netpop Research: YouTube is the social media with the highest user satisfaction

According to a new survey by market Research firm Netpop Research, Facebook is currently the largest social networking site, while YouTube leads the crowd in terms of user satisfaction.

According to netpop research, Facebook is currently the world's largest social network, with 73% of respondents claiming to have used Facebook in the past seven to ten days. YouTube ranks second, with 49% of users using YouTube in the past seven to ten days.

As the world's largest social media, Facebook is ahead of the curve in terms of user count, access volume, user online time, and number of texts. Therefore, the results of the above survey can be said as early as expected.

However, in terms of user satisfaction, netpop found that the most satisfied social networking site is YouTube. Netpop uses social network services that are recommended to friends and family members as the basis for evaluating users' satisfaction with each social network. According to the survey, the two websites with the highest user recommendation rate are YouTube and Facebook, and their user recommendation rates are 50% and 36% respectively.

Netpop believes this may be because Facebook faces more challenges in some problems, especially user privacy protection. Some time ago, Facebook was widely accused of providing user data to third parties, but YouTube was never criticized for similar issues. In fact, YouTube does not require users to provide a large amount of personal data as Facebook does. Users can watch videos on the YouTube website even if they do not log on to their accounts.

LinkedIn Founder: Web 3.0 is about making full use of the data generated around real identities.

Linkedin founder Reid Hoffman's positioning for Web 3.0 is clear: if Web 1.0 is about performing static Web page operations through search, Web 2.0 is about building a social network around real identities, web 3.0 is about making full use of the data generated around real identities.

Hoffman provides examples of several companies that have used social data to make interesting and useful things: LinkedIn provides a new feature called Skills, here, users can find people, companies, and jobs related to various skills. Waze is a mobile app that uses data about your location and speed when you deliver traffic recommendations. Redfin is an online real estate agent invested by Greylock, which provides more information to home buyers regarding their expected residential and housing markets.

He reminded the company to focus on collecting social data, but not "ambush" their users. He said the company needs to identify which users are willing to share the data and which are more sensitive data. When you have a topic that is valuable to users, You need to seek data. For example, LinkedIn, as a company, may benefit from asking users about the gender, but this in turn cannot provide users with any useful information, so companies cannot ask this question.

Twitter Jack Dorsey: "I think the biggest challenge is to build a seamless user experience and enable users to get information from multiple perspectives ."

The primary task of Twitter's return to office will be focused on the following aspects: Understanding the status of Twitter with more than 450 employees; what aspects need to be improved; the user experience of Twitter is closer to most users. In fact, 80% of Twitter users use this product to consume information rather than disseminate information. There is no doubt that Dorsey will participate in Twitter's advertising and marketing activities. You know, the company spends a little less on marketing. [For example, Dorsey admitted that Twitter spent only $10 thousand in marketing over the past four years, and all the money was invested at the SXSW Conference held in Austin, USA in 2007.

Talking about the future, Dorsey believes that the biggest technical challenge in the next five years is how to extract relevant information in real time.

"For Twitter, we need to develop a technology that extracts the most relevant and meaningful information for users, which is still a big challenge. Users must pay attention to all accounts, but sometimes they still miss information that has a major relationship with themselves. We can use technology to solve this problem, but it is still difficult ."
