Can Facebook be the successor to Yahoo

Facebook's success is the myth of the internet age, there are incredible 750 million of users, this popular social networking site has brought us too many surprises, then, whether facbook on the development path has not been a mistake, the answer is no.

In fact, if you think about it, Facebook has never been right, the company has tried to integrate new services to please the users, but it is not a cold, Facebook's strategy is now more like imitating google++, see, Facebook will soon become the next Yahoo.

Why did Facebook succeed?

For technology, "every time" is very important, success is not only do not you have good products, but also to produce products.

Many of the founders in Silicon Valley have many fantastic ideas, either too early or too late. Either someone else has done it first, or your product is a favorite after your company's financial deficit.

And the success of Facebook is that it provides the right services at the right time. Facebook was built in 2004, initially as a private social network for the Harvard elite, and later joined by Boston University, Ivy League, New York University, MIT, and Stanford, when college students are looking for a unique club that doesn't mix with noisy teens And don't go to MySpace, where rock and roll youth dominate. Later, the site will open to all college students, and then open to high school students, and then the technical elite can join.

Facebook rejects the entry of low-quality people, which makes it the world's most popular social network, when other social networks have just stopped clinging to dignitaries or providing convenience for pre-existing connections. Facebook appeared, His ideas are not so wonderful, the design is not novel, the engineers are not good, but so what, he appeared at the right time.

So why would Facebook fail?

Facebook, of course, knows that his users won't let today's services show up tomorrow. Facebook was unique in the past, but now it's a ubiquitous place, and Facebook is like selling snow to the Eskimos.

Now the only way for Facebook, or other sites that offer similar services, is to change and surpass itself. Facebook is trying to do this, try it later, and try that way, trying to make it harder for users to broaden their range of friends on the basis of existing social circles and try to please them, but it failed again.

Facebook saw Foursquare and Groupon signing up for a success, and Facebook wanted to follow suit, but no one cared.

Facebook has a huge stake in tablet computers, and tablets and social networking sites are all for each other, both in their spare time, and although the ipad was popular until 1.5, Facebook still doesn't have a tablet computer app. All of Facebook's hysterical tactics now seem to be just imitating google++.

When it came to the idea that Google was going to segment the actual social network (family, friends, people in the heart, and so on), Facebook also introduced groups and lists, which were rarely used before, and that many people were accustomed to previous social networks, and no one wanted to go back to the group again.

This month, Facebook has launched "Smart Lists", which automatically tracks your close friends and acquaintances, but this is no more advantageous than the "EdgeRank" of another Facebook service. This week Facebook withdrew from its subscription service. When Google launched its cool Hangouts service, which was better and cheaper than Skype, a week later Facebook integrated Skype, and virtually no one was using Skype on Facebook.

All of these moves to replicate Google + show the hysteria and myopia of Facebook, all of which are damaging Facebook's image and making services more complex and confusing.

Facebook seems to be worried about its decline, which is understandable, although Facebook users are still growing now, but a closer look at the first countries to enter Facebook will find that they have started to abandon Facebook. Recent data show that in May, Facebook lost 6 million U.S. users, 1.5 million U.S. and Canadian users, tens of thousands of British, or Russian users.

In fact, I don't think Facebook will disappear, just think he's going to be the next Yahoo, and now it may not be the impression that Yahoo was the hottest company in Silicon Valley.

Tens of thousands of users want to find a dictionary from the Internet that can find any resources, Yahoo provides them with such a platform, but the portal era has receded, the search era has come, Google has gradually replaced Yahoo, known as the Silicon Valley's most fire company, but, Yahoo remains a concern, There is still a lot of information and revenue.

Yahoo doesn't have much to do with information and news, and Yahoo has become a service that no one can speak of, a machine that opens and shuts down the company. Yahoo has no vision, no purpose, no dispensable, and is living like a zombie.

Facebook is following in his footsteps, yes, they will still have users and still be profitable, but more and more feel he is at his wits ' feet, unable to surpass the Facebook-era self.

Facebook is the next Yahoo.
