[Interview] Fang Xingdong: blog focuses on individuals

A few days ago, this reporter interviewed Dr. Fang Xingdong, the author of the "blog" Statement, and Dr. Fang elaborated on the blog-related issues.

Csdn: What do you think about the problem of returning the right to speak to the public through a blog?
Fang Xingdong: we should see that the Internet is changing. In the traditional sense, an individual is only a consumer and a user on the Internet, and the Internet itself also plays a role in a commercial place. However, in the next ten or even two decades, we will see that the network is going to be socialized. This means that individuals will change from consumers and users to creators of information and builders of the entire network. From this point of view, the right to speak is only a manifestation of this development trend, and the blog will bring more power than the right to speak.

Csdn: does an individual's network technical defect affect the exercise of the right to speak?
Fang Xingdong: in fact, the blog revolution is reflected in its zero barrier, which allows everyone to make a blog. The zero barriers to blog are caused by Zero Foundation, zero system, zero editing, and zero cost. Zero-infrastructure means no technical background. Zero-system means that the traditional system does not work here. Zero-editing means that a blog needs to be both an author and edited, these must be achieved at the cost that ordinary people can afford. Of course, the current blog application has not reached the zero barrier state, but I believe that although network technology is very important, it will not become a long-term obstacle.

Csdn: the right to speak should include listening and speaking. So everyone is talking about it in the blog. If there are few listeners, will the public's right to speak be weakened?
Fang Xingdong: Neither can this be said. Like elections, all people can participate in the election, but all the people selected are elites. This presents a pyramid. the essence is that the mechanism is democratic, and the operation is excellent.

Csdn: How can blogs get along with online media?
Fang Xingdong: blog can combine self-propagation, interpersonal communication, and organizational communication to form a comprehensive application. The biggest difference between a blog and online media is that a blog is self-centered. Due to the large number of participants, there are often more authentic and deeper articles in the blog. I believe that excellent blogs will be equally influential as Sohu and Sina. In addition, it is not only a network media, but also a blog that may affect other forms of media. For example, a blog will be launched in China. Many of the teachers have been busy with teaching for years. Their experience and teaching plans will be a huge fortune. Maybe they can also be edited into books, in this way, the blog will also affect the media of the paper media.

Csdn: the public still has some prejudices against blogs. What do you think of this?
Fang Xingdong: at present, the blog is still in a relatively preliminary stage. The use of blog is often a non-mainstream opinion, such as the great sensation of Mu zimei in the previous period. However, I believe that with the development of blogs, more and more people who hold mainstream opinions will become blogs. In this way, the public's prejudice against the blog will naturally be eliminated. At present, as the development of blogs is still in its infancy, it is normal to have these misunderstandings.

Csdn: many small blogs are launched by several people, but they are only used by these people. Is this contrary to the personal-centered starting point of the blog?
Fang Xingdong: it should be said that the scope of use of the blog is determined based on the individual's core. In this process, the proportion of the public part and the individual can be fully adjusted by the individual.

Csdn: In your mind, what is the precise definition of a blog?
Fang Xingdong: As the blog is still in the development stage, it is difficult to define the blog accurately. I think blogs are a networking tool for individuals and a tool for individuals to build their own networks. A blog is a personal image on the Internet. It can present all aspects of your network.

Csdn: in the next period, more and more people will give up the habit of writing diaries, instead of building their own blogs online. Will this become a trend?
Fang Xingdong: it will be a trend, but this is a basic application of blogs. Different people need different types of applications, not necessarily diaries.

Csdn: Can companies that operate blogs become independent individuals who make profits in the future?
Fang Xingdong: Yes. I am not worried about this problem at all. This problem will be solved when mainstream users start to use blogs. However, there are still some killer applications. It is time to test whether a mobile Blog can become a killer application.
