Sohu Internal Entrepreneurship Project: Mobile social radio, blueberries operating independently

This is the second phase of the Sohu pioneering State series story. The first issue is the original Sohu Auto channel editor Yu Qingmu and his mobile audio project test-pull FM.

The second phase of the protagonist is Wang Zihui and cell phone social Radio blueberry.

Blueberries should be considered Sohu's first real sense of the internal entrepreneurial project. Compared with swimming, sogou, slightly different.

Of course, blueberries are 0 compared to the previous two. Swimming has already become Sohu cash big cow, Sogou also become a bat game in a very important piece.

Swimming and Sogou are from the Sohu business system began to start, and then split out. Game up, divided out, search for a more developed, divided, Sohu group from the funds, resources, manpower to carry out a full range of support.

In the two successful internal entrepreneurship projects, Sohu is the majority shareholder, the dominant position.

The blueberry project is different. According to Wang Zihui, Sohu in the Blueberry project is just equivalent to the role of the incubator, only as a similar angel investment role, the project's controlling rights are in the entrepreneurial team.

I saw the son yesterday, he completed the process of leaving Sohu last week, I also almost finished the process of leaving the Orange Crystal, two of people who left the sitting together, to catch up with the best season in Beijing one year, the old colleagues meet, quite some pleasant.

Son back from 2004 into Sohu, the beginning is the Sohu Financial channel editor, then promoted to Sohu Vice President, and then the general manager of Sohu Financial division, and later also responsible for Sohu Weibo operation, into Sohu before the newspaper people.

Sohu Ten years experience, can be summed up as a text media people gradually to the business media transformation and transformation.

and swim Sogou long time is still under the Sohu group system, Wang Zihui and his Blueberry project has now officially left the Sohu system, moved to the top of the office upstairs, began to start their own business process.

Now the team of 15 people, blueberry Project has been hatched in Sohu for half a year, Sohu to provide human and personnel protection. Now after leaving, all the human costs, office operations will have a team independent commitment, Wang Zihui I also took out the real money to invest in the project, in the new company, Sohu's role into the role of angel investment.

The background is complete, let's talk about this project. Son restore with a word for positioning, mobile social radio. Apple Stores and Android stores have not yet been shelves, and are still in a small area of beta. All parts of the product are not yet experienced.

I put a few closed-beta pictures, you can feel this is a product to do, this is a mobile Internet entrepreneurship project.

The following version will be revised immediately, I also saw the beta version, than this good-looking.

You can send the voice directly, send the text directly, send the picture directly, send the picture and add the sound directly.

It's something that blueberries can do, a bit like a snap?

If you do not like the text reply, you can direct voice response.

Well, there's a voice version of the public account.

Son Restore said, he has experienced the rise of PC Internet in the past decade, the peak, downlink, and then to the rise of mobile internet, more and more think that the expression of words will be weakened in the future, people will be through the voice of social networking, knowledge acquisition and sharing.

To give a simple example, a big restaurant chef, in his spare time to open a number, teach housewives how to cook, far more than words to come to the simple and direct, and indeed useful.

Good products can make people no need to build channels, now micro-letter, micro-blog, news client, in the information has built a powerful channel, talented people through these channels, that is, can play their own certain aspects of expertise.

A growing number of mobile internet products are breaking down organizations that used to be company-structured. For example, more and more media people are beginning to write in the media, media organizations are becoming painful and deconstruction, once the media from the media brand, his media organizations will become more and more chicken.

Text from the beginning of the media from the beginning of the word workers, this is their natural advantage, once the people of all walks of life by a variety of suitable tools to activate, presumably the future from the company will be more and more.

Chef through the voice teaching people to cook, teachers to share through the voice, as long as the content of the characteristics, can become a subdivision of the field from the media.

The blueberry is hoping to make a product that activates people from all walks of life, effectively reducing noise and providing interesting and useful knowledge sharing and social platforms.

I am more and more convinced that, since the rise of the media is not accidental, it will not be a flash in the pan, it is really fast deconstruction information, breaking the information monopoly.

Everyone is from the media, but not that everyone can become a good from the media, since the media field will also follow the 28 law, influential people will always be from the "two" inside the birth.

The field of science and technology from the media is only a forerunner, once the entertainment, catering, fashion industry and other popular industries are involved in, since the media is really the rise.

Fortunately, we see large companies are launching to stimulate the level of the appropriate products, micro-credit or public number, micro-bo or, Sohu News client from the media or, in fact, are responsible for building channels and educating sentient beings.

Small companies like blueberries have such dreams. No matter what the future will be, as a participant in the media, I am very sincere to the son to restore the praise.

Son regained faith in Buddhism, finally he talked about Buddhism is: Open Wisdom, trouble, life and death.

I did not study Buddhism, but I did feel his peace and calm.

About Sohu Pioneering state:

Sohu people have entrepreneurial genes. Whether the senior executives come out, or ordinary employees come out, there are some disturbing factors in the blood flow. At least I know a lot of people are like this, it is difficult to explain why.

It is recognized that Sohu's first generation of entrepreneurs are concentrated in the video field. Youku founder Koo, the original cool six net founder Shanyou, Archie Art CEO Gong, and even included in my music network as CEO of the Jianjun, have plunged into the media properties as the representative of the video industry.

This is the first wave of success, I boil down to the PC Internet age of the entrepreneurial representative. Their stories have been seen in countless newspapers and networks, the reader is too familiar with the new feeling. So I look to the second generation of Sohu entrepreneurs.

I give the second generation of Sohu entrepreneur description is, before leaving more than the middle of Sohu, a few years experience, is now an independent venture.

This wave of people I define as Sohu pioneering state. I hope to be able to chat with 10 or so Sohu entrepreneurs, perhaps can draw some interesting conclusion.
