The Research Series of the altruistic mode and light mode Craigslist myth is carried by the blog of the wheat field in donews)

Craigslist mythical Author: wheat field http://blog.donews.com/maitian99/archive/2006/02/20/733577.aspx // recently interested in viewing this site-related reports, reproduced to learn.

I have never understood a Website: "kijiqi"-whether it is "customer Collection", "customer Collection", or other "customer Collection" cloud, 6 combinations of three words, rap or stuttering domain name, I did not understand it until I wrote this article, and I was too lazy to understand it. Wang jianshuo made many conceptual "political correctness" statements about Web2.0, but they are all exposed in the details of kijiqi. So before continuing the following text, I would like to ask Fang Jia: Why does Wang jianshuo need such a Domain Name and website name? Is there a logical explanation?

In, craigslist.org entered the industry's sights and seemed to have become a model for Internet users in China overnight. The reason is that Craigslist has the envy of Internet users in China: low technical content and high website valuation. The former gives everyone the courage to think that I can classify three or five people with six or seven shots. The latter gives everyone the imagination that If I create Craigslist in China, for my value, can I refer to Baidu-Google's pricing model? -Now let's take a look at the popularity of Craigslist in. Few people care about the real value and success of this website, what most people care about is that it satisfies their vision-we hope to have a dream, so we create a myth.

As a result, a large number of Chinese Classification websites were released. In addition to the humorous website introduced above, what else is 5. com, a lot of them, I am too lazy to remember-these Chinese Classification websites, I can say that they almost all fail. Based on the following simple analogy: we eat the first big mac, eat the second, eat the fifth, full-then I sum up: Look, in fact, we only need to eat 5th hamburgers, everything else is a waste.

 

If I sum up the hamburger like this, you will scold me for being dumb; but if I sum up Craigslist like this, you will boast me: "Look at this kid's web20, please, hold it, this is the n million I voted for you"

Craigslist's success lies not in "classification", but in the first hamburger-"Community ". Craigslist is only a community website. It is a community website formed by "classification! Like MySpace, MySpace forms a Community model by means of "fashion", "Music", and "non-mainstream". It is the same as Tianya community, tianya is a Community model formed by means of humanistic emotions. Here, "classification", "fashion", and "Humanistic emotion" are equally instrumental concepts. As a result, the Craigslist community is the online reproduction of the American "backend culture" community, just as MySpace is the online reproduction of the American "bar culture" community, tianya.cn is the online version of the Chinese "Teahouse culture" community.

 

If some people do not believe that Craigslist is a community, let's look at Craig's definition of the Website: "Trust your users; the website "-Craig's true story is divided into two meanings. The former talks about the real concept of web20, that is, Craigslist is just a" Platform ", the main body of the Community is the user, and the value of the community is also the database created by the user. The latter is the construction standard for the Community "Platform"-We only need to think about Craig's personal posts for almost ten years, if you reply to your users' emails in person, you will be able to learn how to create a successful "website trusted by users ", I just wrote a few articles about "complaints are about investing in me". How easy is it, haha?

 

Some people may read this article to refute me like this: OK. I also think that the Craigslist mode is essentially a community. Can it be like what you said above, I also use "Classification" to create this community? -In other words, is it possible to copy the Craigslist model to China from the outside to the mainland? You thought about Craigslist 10 years ago, but now you are wrong. Now, even if Craig teaches you to come to China, he cannot build a Chinese Craigslist. The reason is very simple, because the time has changed and the environment has changed:

 

Craig's success was that he began to "classify" into "communities" 10 years ago ". The Internet "classification" business has a very high "Matthew effect"-at least a higher "Matthew effect" than the "Humanistic sentiment" business ", because "classification information" has lower demand elasticity than "Humanistic and emotional information. This is very understandable. Let me give you an example of daily life: We need to find a shared rent information. If a website may be found, I can go to that website to make it sufficient; if I want to watch an online novel, I will go to another website to view several pieces of this website.

 

That is to say, if you want to "classify" your website into the community, you need to make your website quickly break through the avalanche point and become the first in the industry, in this way, you can enter a positive feedback development model; otherwise, you will be eliminated. Craigslist's advantage or luck is that it began to "classify" 10 years ago, so Craigslist has jumped to the tipping point before some Internet giants have reflected it, enter the success stage of positive feedback development. Now we start to do "classification", as we all know, So dozens of websites are doing the same thing, as a result, the market is divided into no one that may reach the tipping point, and everyone will fall into a low-level vicious competition under the critical point until the money is burned out, wait for web3.0-"classification" to go into the community, and it is no longer possible.

So what I want to say in this article is: Craigslist is indeed a myth, but more importantly-it is a myth about "time.

 

I can't tell whether Craigslist or criagslist-kijiqi is the most Craigslist on the domain name.
