The uniqueness of the blog of the Community research

Blog | community

Let's take a few words. My Community Research series simply focuses on two points: one, the viscosity of the community, because I think the user must have viscosity to be called the community; Secondly, the technical characteristics and management rules of the high viscosity community, because I think the differences in the characteristics of the major technical applications in the community will lead to the inherent viscosity difference of the Community products, At the same time, different community management rules will have a very big impact on this viscosity difference, one is innate one is the day after tomorrow.

For example, I have always thought that the current blog's technical features trackback, RSS, tag caused by the site outside the aggregation and interaction of the huge convenience, so that the cost of the blog moved too low to the BSP to the blog individual loss of the community should be viscosity. This congenital flaw seems to me to be the acquired blog community Management rules can not make up for, at most, to improve a little bit.

And this time due to the announcement of the door closed and caused a lot of attention to the BSP mins but presents a different scene, even if not talk about those who spontaneously committed to save the BSP users, look at those who moved out of the user is not the usual personal migration, but the group move together and retreat, More meaning is a lot of people to the new BSP place after the blog name or user ID or marked mins words. The high viscosity of the BSP should be said to be more unexpected than most viewers, and a bigger hit for me because it means that my previous judgment has been a very big deviation. Can the reasonable setting of the acquired management rules reverse the defects of the innate technical characteristics? I can't restrain myself from going to the ground.

The viscosity of mins is reflected in its group function, which should be understood by every spectator who is concerned about this event. Read "The note on the design and application of the sensitized group" found the phrase: "The mins group will no longer be a complement to the blog function, but as a reflection of the aggregation platform for members, which shows that in the management concept Riemings Group is beyond the Eumins blog, This is a clear dividing line from the group functions of most other BSP.

But even so, Min-si realize such viscosity still has an important prerequisite: mins has not trackback and tag these two blog standard application, RSS also only output article title, even the summary is not to mention the full text. This means that from the innate characteristics of technology, mins's blog is completely limited to the island, not to mention the outside of the aggregation and interaction, and the ability to aggregate and interact in the station, in the group before the appearance of the network is probably only the management of the channel. In such a premise, the emergence and prosperity of the group is an inevitable development, if there is no group I guess min is not because there is no money to shut down but because there is no user to shut down, even if they are only a few applications and services are not high demand for low-end users.

In the introduction of the Xian-min blog article "Sensitive Thinking group-a noteworthy SNS" and her talk about mins, she repeatedly stressed the "mins Group a bit like BBS", I look at these introductions in my mind there will always be about the West Shrine Hutong shengjing flashback. It's really kind of like the West Shrine: You can build groups freely; Group leaders and administrators can be posted on the group blog article refined and recommended to the Group of the home page, and then by the site to edit the selection of the homepage of the article; some large groups of internal members have differences or contradictions, resulting in a large group of divisions, some members of the group away from the other groups ; some small, inactive group combinations and ... All this happened in the West Temple countless times, so a little understanding of the people said: "They do not need trackback function, they only like the BBS-style thread, which makes from BBS over to the user has a sense of closeness, too much new use will let them find North." ”

Although there is no use of trackback and tag such as the new technology, but it can be seen mins in the group of the rules of the design or the next effort. Its rules do draw on a lot of BBS's successful experience, and also made a lot of spending the mind to avoid the BBS often mined areas. I in the "Community Research BBS death appraisal" has summed up, BBS advantage is the high viscosity of interaction, the disadvantage is that the rules are not perfect easily lead to hydration to interfere with the normal experience of the core users. The mins group's class BBS rule setting has played a considerable role in the advantages and disadvantages:

1, the group size limit is 120, this set estimate and sn<150 People's theory has relations, QQ common Group number limit is 100. The limit of the number of people can reduce the possibility of the main post hydration in the group (the reply is not sensitive to register users have permissions, this will be discussed later).

2, the user can only participate in 3 groups, but you must have been in min think mixed up a considerable reputation of the characters. This move protects the priority of the core user or activates the less active group through the core user.

3, a user's article can only be sent in a group. This article I think to prevent the gentleman not to the villain, really want to send a group of words change a title should be OK.

4, within the group can also carry out plate classification. This prevents team members from streaming strings, but in turn reduces the efficiency of topic aggregation.

5, blog published in the group must first be published in groups and then after the review of group managers. This is very different from the direct release of Blogbus, and it is important that it almost completely disappears the residual main thread hydration possibilities.

In general, the blog's group rules give group administrators a lot of self-management rights, while limiting the number of groups to reduce the intensity of self-management work. In this way, to protect the interests of the core users to improve the core user management enthusiasm, but also not let them like those popular BBS moderators are busy managing affairs and loss of blog fun.

However, the above are all about limiting the hydration of the main, because the visitors also have the right to reply, so the thread of the risk of hydration is objective. But after the landlord from the management-group self-management-web site editing filter, the estimated hydration is within the control range.

From the characteristics of the BBS, the decline of the beginning is usually due to the main post hydration, such as a large number of content without the main post or abusive version of the slaughter, and the restoration of hydration itself is basically benign, harmless. So it can be seen that mins of the rule-makers while doing is a blog group, but for the BBS understanding and research is quite thorough, but also worth learning.

In such a inherited BBS viscosity and through the rules of the BBS to abandon the drawbacks of the blog group, those from the BBS community transition from the user to the atmosphere is very adaptable. This also reminds me to revise my own basic point of view: In a sense, in the Chinese Internet environment, most of the low-end blog users, that is, the wheat field said that the space users do not care about trackback and tag such a function, The rule-perfect class BBS group function is they use up handy.

It should be said that the "mins" group operation was successful, but mins's business operation failed. "This has to do with the initial values of the sensitized builders, they're not really blogging custodians, they're just preparing a chat site for their friends, and it's kind of like a three-start-a-bit blog--The Adventures of Jack Bauer--is not really a commercial movie. Otherwise, I would like to use the title, points, gold coins and other traditional BBS management methods to motivate users to create ideas, in May 05 after the successful group revision, it is the blog in China began to gradually volume of users on the eve of the introduction of relevant rules to encourage the original loyal users of Word-of-mouth marketing introduce new users to join and further using the viscosity of the group to bind them, Min-Si may not be able to find a profit model, but it should not be like now fall into Shami embarrassing situation.
