Talking about Community clients

From abroad, Facebook, Twitter to the domestic everyone, happy, Sina Weibo, NetEase Weibo, Sohu Weibo, QQ microblogging ... The community storm over the Internet, and then spread to the mobile phone clients, some phones even built these clients, just get the hands of the G6 directly built-in Facebook (not on) and everyone, this is a trend, is a necessity, Just like Youku also started with the well-known domestic and foreign mobile phone manufacturers reached the same built-in, Sina relies on the celebrity, NetEase by the mailbox users, QQ by the domestic largest IM background, directly to the micro-Bo tied to the QQ ... All kinds of ways have, constantly have users impact micro-blog users, as I, QQ has a micro-blog, Sina is not on, because simple ah, direct login on the QQ can be directly sent. So this is another place where mobile clients are competing for Twitter.

The ideal client should be:
1, synchronous "say" and "listen"
Bidirectional synchronization, namely can send information synchronously, also can receive information synchronously. After bidirectional synchronization, other microblogs resemble a sub-section of the client, a "sub community".
2, Information filtering
If the person you're interested in is speaking synchronously on several major microblogging sites, only one of these same messages should be displayed, and should not be repeated.
3. Value-added function Platform
Integrate now microblogging value query, fan management, group, polling, city, timed automatic release, statistical function, advertising function ... Can be like Taobao Wang Wang client as open development platform to support third-party development of value-added functions.
4. Real-Time Search integration
What is the value of real time search, see how much google,bing pay Twitter to know the approximate. Domestic microblogging sites, no one can convince other home open real-time search to establish a unified real-time search platform. I believe that even the professional search engine such as Baidu can not unified real-time search. But small-business micro-blogging clients can be a roundabout way to integrate across microblogging searches. It is the--twitter of foreign countries that are not willing to search for giant index instant messages, but develop APIs to do search applications for small companies.

In the face of such a giant QQ, Sina, NetEase, Sohu and so on are obvious catch lapel elbow, Sina is one of these earliest open microblogging, followed by NetEase, Sohu and so on, to the recent QQ opened Weibo, just a few months, I believe that a lot of users have begun to transfer, QQ2010BETA3 has been the function of micro-Bo added into the , no longer need to log on to the Web page to post information, Sina also developed a mobile phone client to meet the needs of mobile users, NetEase and Sohu through the mobile phone binding way, obviously do not want to in this client with Sina and QQ battle, but obviously can see through the phone to send micro Bo too little too little, And through QQ to send more and more information microblogging, the same Sina developed the iphone, Android, Java, Symbian S60 to meet the needs of Sina Weibo users, through the built-in in different handsets, can greatly improve the user's needs. But the face of such an alligator, QQ, or appear insignificant, at the same time QQ also used the celebrity, more and more people from all walks of life into, so that micro-blogging users are beginning to move closer to QQ. How to hold their own users to become the major micro-bloggers consider the primary goal, after the fresh, play should be novel, 140 words is clearly enough to write a user, the picture can also be sent, the video? Where's the music? Word definition image? Information search ...

Client use is bound to become a necessity, early use than late use better, clever use than dead to move better, how to more effectively let the user freely use everywhere, how to more meet the needs of users, how to retain users, will be considered. What kind of client does the user need? Simple？ Fast？ To create the most suitable client for the user is each community needs to consider, is cross-platform, or a platform for more use, and ultimately to build their own community, to build their own clients.
