Write a tech article of 2.0 on your blog, use the Dianping.com for Example

 

With the significent changes, Dianping.com will be a real rival to citiwiki. it happened I was interviewed both. unfortunately (or fortunately) and dianping rejected me because my response to Web 2.0 not satisfied them. to be honest, I had not learned the concept about Web 2.0 at that time (but I am sure I understand should things a long ago, just do not know it can be called Web 2.0 ). then I came to citiwiki. after talking with bran, the leader of Citigroup, I learned a lot. I think citiwiki is a very exciting plan. it shoshould succeed.

I had to say, compare to citiwiki, dianpin don't catch the essence of Web 2.0 (what I understand now), though they have the dominance in food area.

Focus on current dianping beta 3.0, It's very dangous to push the user to the complete new interface what they don't have CT. you think it's the right thing or useful to the users, but it not always true (if not always wrong ). the poor users of dianping had suffered from such drive frequently times, for example last time dianping changed the name of website and UI.

What the good approach is to guide the users, not drive them. I admit dianping is trying to imporve the UI and UE (user experience), go to a Web 2.0 right way, but lack of good methodology. the only good news to dianping is that users have no other choices till now. if they want to copy the success in food area to other area, they shoshould think more deeper.

On the contrary, citiwiki have no such issue. of cuz, they have no website now, so it maybe too early to say that. but the Wiki mode makes me believe that. far beyond it, citiwiki will also base on a totally different biz mode. in the future, even I am not join citiwiki, I and everyone cocould Contivity TO THE citiwiki thanks to that great biz mode.

I finally go to snda, so I can't say any more about citiwiki or dianping, but my friend hongliang will join citiwiki, maybe he cocould tell us something fresh. currently, there is only dianping, the users have no choice though dianpin do not quite good. I wish citiwiki will be online soon and let us see a new possibility.
