On the equality of Web 2.0 community

For the current domestic Web 2.0 Web site, watercress and know is undoubtedly two benchmarks, however, in close contrast, we will find that the user's distinction between the two different ways, and it is this kind of details on the difference between the two different development trend of the site.

Watercress User Portal posts from a personal perspective of two of websites made their own observation and analysis.

Watercress is a real community, in addition to the universal minefields within the celestial network, basically, watercress will not tube you what kind of way to speak, and what kind of speech. In other words, if (peas Niang think) you do not threaten the survival of beans Niang, peas will not come out of practice. With this in mind, it should be said that the community is basically equal.

Its main driving force is the sharing of spirit, as there is no objective or subjective indicator that distinguishes users from groups with different rights. "Adzuki Bean" was once an attempt to introduce an economic system to the community, but (for the time being) there was no deep push.

Watercress there are blocks in this community, and there is no class point. Its user community is large enough, each user can through the attention and the group, thus dividing a piece of their own world. For example, a user can be used as a former mop, as long as the cold group, forcing the group, such as the hot group can; another user can also be completely as a resource sharing station, as long as to join some sharing group; Similarly, literary and artistic knowledge Station watercress, a film Exchange station watercress, Technical Learning Station watercress can be defined by some way of joining and attention.

How today remembered to say a word of love to watercress, because in recent days in the knowledge of a sense, deep feeling watercress benefits. The same as the Internet community, but there are a lot of ridiculous.

The most ridiculous point is that it is a distinct class place. The elements that divide the class are the so-called "knowledge" that each user reveals to others, and the popularity of users affected by this (and depending on the reality). When you are a torrent of users, you will naturally have higher benefits. Community managers tend to maintain this class nature by "folding" the answers they think are insufficiently knowledgeable, and "endorsing" the kind of long-winded answers they welcome to encourage the latter, combat the former, and reinforce the differences among users. Over time, the emergence of a group of "with golden" users, when they dance to a problem, the participation and attention of the problem will be the kind of golden light, not interested there is nowhere to escape.

Although it is also a shared community, it is a rare and neutral community in which community management teams and Community rules strongly discriminate against users who participate in some way. I've never seen a community that limits the way users speak, the community pursues knowledge supremacy, the management team interprets Community rules with subjective judgments, and executes management. The administrators of this community have very high powers, and I don't think they act like service providers, but rulers.

The values and tastes that underpin the management team approach can reflect the cultural deficiencies of the Internet in some way. The meaning of this sentence is not spoken in the "no knowledge" of "no culture", in fact, know that the operational team in the knowledge should be the elite, but in the culture side relatively lower. I think this is because the community basically does not support a sense of humour or a relatively maverick cult user, a community that lacks sense of humour and cult user balance is more like a social place than a place to live.

The point I'm not going to be able to get is that, in the knowledge of celebrities, nonsense can be Wang It's funny that he seems to have wanted to be a cult user in the community, but with the help of the management team, he has become an attractive and flattering benchmark, but he has not refused. The same answer will be "folded". This leads to a strong identity of the content of different users, become a unipolar community, not interested in authoritative users of other users also have nowhere to escape, unless simply not come.

Watercress is not a unipolar community. In my own experience, such as the watercress has I do not like the Community Reds T, Z, A and so on, although each of them have tens of thousands of of fans, each day to produce a total of thousands of shares, but in my own daily bean flow, almost no information about them. I am concerned about the 200+ users, not the small station and joined the team, the hundreds of sources of information to form the flow of my concern, they have drawn a secret convergence limit, to ensure that I can see a wealth of information, but also with the dislike of users (even if the impact of a large) peaceful coexistence.

A friend mentioned the "broadcast function after the", and I have this situation is, even if the broadcast function appears, it is difficult to see their special favorite Reds broadcast, but occasionally there will be a slip through. I do not count information neat, do not care about this occasionally, in fact, some information come in, save too self closed, as long as not all day is "T good laugh ah, Z good ah, a good ah" on the line

But it is impossible to know. In this community, all the areas of interest to the majority are already in the field of the Reds. You take a look at the problems in these areas, you can see them in the water, talk, Kan Kan, the Reds answer no matter how valuable, must be top of the highest. Different views? There are some, but all are folded up. In the end, those detours words that are either explained or persuasive are standard answers.

Why is there a love for knowing? Because in some topics, especially technology, industry secrets, science knowledge, life cold knowledge, can get the detailed answer in simple and simple, but in the humanities, social science topics, is full of endless "how to treat So-and-so", seems to have a standard answer. Users who provide the first answer, after countless answers are repeated on top of each other, really think they are the "standard answer provider". The situation is probably like this: there are several people sitting in the ring with each other, the outer ring around the station a row of users whisper, issued "This is too good to blow" sigh of regret. You want to spit in the ring and say, you know what, you'll soon be folded and banned, and the community team, like the Gestapo, tells you, "We don't welcome personal attacks."

But those who operate the community, how to know a blow the intellectual essays is not a smelly and long dog excrement, and how to know a "there is misleading other people's factual error or too extreme subjective assumption" of the answer in which there is no light of wisdom? This kind of neutral way of community operation, The community eventually becomes what managers want, but unfortunately, it's not a good place to be confined to their level.

These are all within the framework of the knowledge to discuss its bad place, from this point of view can be discussed, but only in the superficial criticism. What I have in my heart is a suspicion of the "intellectual" that they uphold, a bunch of people who know more than who, and who is on the podium for a long time. But I'm interested in this community experiment, and since I don't like it, let's just watch and see what kind of place it will arrive.

I insist that the network community should be equal, multipolar, low authority, under such a mechanism will produce good content. Good content is a variety of information gathered in the "wisdom" of the Kernel, "knowledge" is only one of the ordinary categories, but the vanity generated around it may become "stupid", the wisdom of the unwilling to visit the place. Watercress in the use of the way to toss users, but the "equality, multipolar, low authority" principle has not changed fundamentally. We have used many communities, including Snowball, which also has good principles and professional community, there is like a good company to work, and watercress is the entire network I would like to "settle here" place.
