Do you remember these sites?

The internet world is changing rapidly, and a website that was popular a year or two ago may have been forgotten by most people today. Today, we sorted out some of the Web sites that once hit in China's internet history, and now they have been largely obliterated in history, including Chinaren and rice.

1, Chinaren

1991, graduated from Stanford University, Chen a boat, Zhou Yun fan and Ning co-founded the Chinaren, this was China's largest alumni website, the opportunity to become China's most successful social networking site, may become today's "Everyone", even Facebook.

However, due to lack of experience in the founder's work, there is not enough business experience to make the judgment of risk inaccurate. and encounter the Internet cold winter, really cannot withstand the pressure, can only 30 million U.S. dollars sold to Sohu. But Sohu completely wasted chinaren, short-sighted let them feel that social network can not make money, no need to vigorously develop, the result is oneself struggle to now also did not make a successful social product.

2. No rice

The industry-recognized microblogging originator "Rice no", known as the Chinese version of Twitter, by the network, intranet, the founder of the United Wang in May 2007, as the first Chinese mainland to provide micro-credit blog Service site, is also the number of active users million. However, the site was closed in July 2009. At the end of 2010, the 505-day shutdown of rice was resumed operation, meal no double spell domain name fanfou.com daily IP (March average) of 225,000, daily PV (March average) of 900,000.

Whether the meal was shut down during the period, Sina, NetEase, Tencent, Sohu and other domestic portal sites have launched a micro-blog services, including Sina Weibo has become the fastest growing one, many before the user was forced to transfer to Sina Weibo. But the food still has a group of fans. For example, net friend @ Simple think: "Rice no advertising, no zombie powder, no small secretary to follow the recommendation of neighbors, did not force you to pay attention to his acquaintances, but no XX backup group we found you in micro-blog mentioned xx, I also particularly like him ...

3, 263.net Capital Online

Everyone knows 163.com, but I believe many people may not have heard of 263.net. In about 2000 years 263.net is a very popular website, his name is the capital online, the equivalent of today's portal site. The content is also quite rich, we all in 263 in the online go, play poker. And at that time it also provides a free mailbox, capacity at that time appears to be not small, the function is more advanced.

As a once can and Sina, Sohu, NetEase and other portals, one of the important portals, 263 online also with the announcement of the 2004 stop all free mailboxes after the Chinese netizens forgotten.

4, FM365

FM365 should still exist in the memory of the old netizens, in the rapid development of the Internet in the 1999-2000, FM365 in nearly 200 people to build the team, the roaring, the page read volume reached 340.037 billion/day, the domestic ranking in the fourth fifth, at the time before Tom, After 263, FM365 became Lenovo's most important internet asset, making Lenovo one of the portal giants of the time.

However, when the dotcom bubble came in 2000, Lenovo did not resist the pressure, and after the FM365 value was severely shrunk, they gave up FM365 easily. In the end, Lenovo cut off the FM365 portal, which they spent countless efforts and built on billions of yuan, hoping to concentrate on "returning to the PC business"-cutting off FM365 and letting Lenovo miss the entire Internet wave.

5, 8848

Once the 8848 of the electricity dealers in China, Wang Juntao (old Banyan) was founded in January 1999, from 4 people, 160,000 yuan start, to 2001, become China's industrial and commercial web site was most visited by users, successively financing about 60 million U.S. dollars. 8848 is known throughout the country as the only real site that can really buy something online. Chinese netizens only know 8848, do not know when and excellence, using "absolute monopoly" to describe the 8848 in the online sales of the share is not too.

But 8848 eventually went to death. Failure is related to the lack of Internet consumption at the time, but this is definitely not the main reason. 8848 after the introduction of a large number of investment, its founding team has lost control of 8848, the capital side began to meddle in the operation and direction of the site, and the external performance is the 8848 direction is always changing. Even the late management, in order to cater to Wall Street investors seeking an IPO in the United States, was forced to transform business models from corporate to business-to-business, regardless of the 8848. An internet company that has fully catered to the capital market and has moved away from providing services to its users does not have the slightest chance of surviving.

6, 3721

The current 360 chairman of Qihoo Zhou 3721 Web site, was the third generation of Chinese Internet access, the so-called users do not need to remember the complex domain name, directly in the browser address bar input Chinese name, you can go directly to the corporate web site or to find enterprises, product information. But Zhou's smart-aleck gave him the notoriety of "the father of Rogue software" all his life. Use despicable means to install without the user's knowledge and never fully uninstall. Almost all networked computers were spared in the first years of 21st century.

In search of better development, Zhou bought a yahoo at 120 million dollars. Yahoo's directors, obviously do not understand the situation in China, but to the business, let Zhou 祎 not open hand to develop "Chinese characteristics of Yahoo," eventually abandoned by China Yahoo, the current domain name 3721.com has been unable to access.

7. Blog China

Blog China Online on November 18, 2002, founder Xingdong was hailed as "the father of Chinese bloggers." Blog China was once seen as one of the most promising sites in China in the Web2.0 era, in 2004 Chen and SoftBank East 500,000 dollar Angel Investment, 2005, and won many well-known venture investment institutions 10 million U.S. dollars. After three years of blogging, China has maintained an astonishing 30% growth every month--blogging China seems to be informing the Internet of the "blogging age".

Unfortunately, when the "blog age" finally came, the era does not belong to the blog China. Blog China lacks a good helmsman, China's Internet arena has always been strongman politics, every successful internet companies are standing behind a "legendary name", but, blogger China founder Xingdong is only a literary youth, the love of poetry, Tsinghua University doctor, does not adapt to the "focus on the ultimate Word-of-mouth fast" arena. Xingdong did not have a commercial sense of smell, do not know how to make money, but wasteful spending, and ultimately caused the blog China's capital chain break, and in the face of the crisis, he did not show a founder's courage, and eventually lost the control of the blog China. The end of 2006, Sina, Sohu and other internet giants have launched their own blog services, the "blog age" fruit eventually fell into the hands of giants.

8, TOM

Under the environment of the Internet, the change of government policy, industry regulation and the birth of new business are easy to create the ups and downs of internet websites. If you can't adapt to these policy improvements, you will face a passive situation, and throughout the 10 years of rapid Internet development, Tom Online is an obvious example. 10 years ago, Tom was online as a wireless internet company, providing multimedia value-added products and services covering a wide range of areas including SMS, MMS, WAP, Wireless audio interactive Services (IVR), content channels, search, classifieds, free and paid email services.

Especially in 2004, when the SMS, MMS and other wireless value-added services become popular, Tom Online in time to split the listing, the short-term absorption of a large amount of funds, the scale of the site expanded dramatically. At this time, Tom Online is the only one in China in the wireless Internet services in all areas are ranked three portal, however, from 2005 onwards, the Ministry of Information industry began to overhaul wireless value-added services, SP business into the winter. Tom Online business volume is severely shrinking, and sadly retired, the user volume and traffic is also a big discount, people can not help feeling changed.

9. China Net

China network as the first to hit the Chinese concept of the Internet stock Landing Nasdaq, its stock code is China, in the Chinese concept of interconnection, and the promotion of domain name, the Chinese network quickly become the darling of the capital market, the market value soared. Unfortunately, the Chinese network by the concept of hype up the company empty nothing, only rely on acquisitions to expand their business, in the business is a problem, even a mailbox products are not good.

In October 2011, before the China Net filed for bankruptcy, the last sale was $0.4374, compared with $220 per share at the peak of 2000, 500 times times the difference. In fact, from the beginning to the end, the most valuable Chinese net is only the domain name.

10, ebay

In the August 1999, when Shao Yipo and Tan Hai, the two Harvard Business School graduates in Shanghai, China set up an ebay network, can be said to fill the Chinese e-commerce consumer-to-consumer Gap. Since then, with less than half a year, ebay won the title of "The Crown of Domestic auction website", becoming China's most popular auction site.

However, with fierce competition in the market, especially Alibaba's Taobao to join the competition, although in March 2002 by the world's largest E-commerce website ebay company's strong support, but the situation of ebay remains very difficult. June 2003, ebay with 150 million U.S. dollars 100% holding ebay. However, with the online Taobao, ebay ebay in China's increasingly difficult situation, market share began to decline. In this regard, experts generally believe that ebay ebay in the Chinese market, on the surface, is due to the free service Taobao, while ebay has insisted on charging a certain fee, but the root cause is that the U.S. company ebay-led ebay ebay lack of in-depth research on the Chinese market, Failed to meet the needs of the local market in time.
