Do foreign startups have a quick copy when they start their debut?

In the Internet circle, "reference" has long been nothing new. But how about abroad? Some people ask, such as Facebook products, in the emerging why not Google and other companies to learn or copy quickly? Know the Netizen once min answer but try to tell you, who said no:

I hope my answer will put an end to some unrealistic fantasies about the United States, and, of course, if I answer something that is not true, I hope that insight can point it out.

American education does emphasize originality and contempt for plagiarism. In fact, Americans and Chinese love "micro-innovation", "micro-innovation" is not a Chinese or Chinese education characteristics.

In fact, the premise of the problem is also wrong, first of all, Facebook is not the world's original concept of social networking sources. MySpace and Friendster have already taken off, not to mention the concepts of social networking sites and six-degree spaces. Second, Google is not the same as the problem, in January 2004, Google was on the line of its own social application Orkut (note: The social network is still running, and is Brazil's largest social networking site). On campus, there are more than one social network that functions like Facebook.

Facebook's success in social networking was made possible by Zuckerberg's vision and leadership, technical skills, the ability of Silicon Valley's top talent, and the fact that big companies initially didn't value and luck. The success of Facebook is definitely not the simple idea that Zuckerberg is making a social network out of his head. A specific story about Facebook can refer to the Facebook effect book.

While talking about "micro-innovation" in domestic enterprises, many people may despise it. Of course, despise also does not matter right or wrong, but this more is to express personal to Tencent and other enterprises monopoly of a kind of discontent. From a more neutral point of view, the majority of the domestic business model from the United States to learn from the fact that the big business copy of the start-up company is the third hand second-hand, is really disgraceful, but there is no essential difference, deserve special condemnation.

In fact, American companies also like "micro-innovation", Microsoft is one of the typical representative. IE copy Netscape Everyone is familiar with, you may not know, Office Word is actually copy Office software forerunner Lotus Word. As Paul Graham, founder of the US innovation plant, once said in essay, the entire Silicon Valley was terrified of Microsoft when Netscape collapsed because of Microsoft's competition. This fear is more than the fear of Tencent in China today. While Google's new millennium has just sprung up, it is still very low-key, though it is the focus of the entire Silicon Valley. It was not until 04 that Google disclosed its report that people discovered that Google had been profitable as early as 2003, just to avoid competition from Microsoft Yahoo.

Google, too, has seen Facebook fire, a lot of information being circled around Facebook, posing a threat to its mission to promote the free flow of information on the Internet, and speeding up Google +, mobilizing engineers across the company and causing many internal complaints. In the beginning, though, it seems to be a vivid and lively one, largely blocking Facebook's monopoly on social information. Similar to Android "micro-innovation" iphone,google Drive "micro-innovation" dropbox,facebook "micro-innovation" Snapchat stories such as the countless, here is not a start.

Although it says so much about "micro-innovation" in the United States, overall, the micro-innovation of big American companies is still much less than the Chinese. Education is a factor on the one hand, on the other hand, large companies can not see the small companies those things, do not bother to copy. Sometimes do not copy, is copied also copied, but also as the acquisition of entrepreneurial team. If Facebook is a life-and-death issue for Google, you're not talking about it. From this point of view, Tencent's micro-letter on the mobile internet turned on is still commendable.
