Students, if you understand the theory of six degrees of separation, then you understand why the network of friends can spread in the form of nuclear fission. This kind of scheme of moving real social networking to the Internet platform has made today's Friends Network ......"

At Stanford, computer science professor "Larry" is teaching a group of students.

What he shared with the students today is the network of friends.

As the hottest social networking site at present, he has created too many miracles.

Although Larry had already done a thorough analysis of the network of friends in this class, the students still felt that they could not get enough.

"Okay, students, the topic of the friend network will be shared here today, if you are interested in the friend network, you can talk about it again after class. As you all know, in fact, in the Internet field, there are a lot of tech tycoons who have emerged from your student body. Maybe you're the next tech maniac......"

Larry didn't say who these tycoons were.

But the students know it.

Among them is Microsoft's Bill, and Apple's Jobs.

and Larry's proud protégé, Paige.

Yes.

Although Larry rarely mentions it, he has always been proud to have such a disciple.

At the same time, the students are also proud that they have a Google founder at Stanford.

What makes them even more proud is that the founder of Google is still their brother.

Today, Larry's proud protégé is said to be coming to visit him.

As soon as class ended, Larry saw Paige waiting for him on the edge of the school building.

"Hey, Paige. ”

"Teacher, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay now?"

"Of course, it's very good. ”

Larry hugged Paige and quipped, "Paige, you haven't been back to Stanford for a long time, so you won't forget your alma mater." ”

"How is it possible, teacher, Stanford is a place I will never forget for the rest of my life. However, as you know, I've been busy lately. ”

"Well, I see. ”

Seeing that Page looked a little tired, Larry said, "Isn't it too much effort to acquire Youtobe, but I've read your reports and you're doing a great job." Especially for the application of capital, Page, well done. ”

Larry's unspeakable affection for Paige.

It's not just Page who succeeded in founding Google.

What's even more remarkable is that Page can often beat his competitors with extremely flexible capital.

Just like this acquisition of Youtobe.

On the surface, everyone thinks that Google's purchase price is too high.

can change hands, but Youtobe's valuation has directly doubled.

This is not something that can be achieved with computer technology.

"Teacher, it's not because of this. ”

Shaking his head, Page said, "We have a strong competitor. ”

"Yahoo?"

Larry thought for a moment and said.

If you want to talk about competitors, Google's biggest competitor, it's Yahoo.

Yahoo is not only a competitor to Google in the search space, but Yahoo has also recently entered the video space aggressively.

At the same time, the overall strength of Yahoo is higher than Google.

"Not Yahoo. ”

"Not Yahoo?"

Paige's shake of his head made Larry wonder.

He pinched his chin: "Although Microsoft's technology is good, they don't have Internet genes, and the mandatory binding of MSN instant messengers is going downhill, and they are definitely not good at video." As for some others, the overall strength is not as good as your Google, let alone any threat to you. ”

"Teacher, it's Huanyu Video, a subsidiary of Huanyu Technology recently established in North America. ”

Larry understood.

Just now he was still analyzing Huanyu Technology's friend network.

This is a website, he once thought, this is a genius-level idea.

Larry even believes that if the Friends network develops well, it may be able to surpass Google in the future.

It's not impossible.

Google is just a search tool after all.

The tools are advanced and backward, and the tools can be easily replaced.

If there is any search engine that is more convenient in the future, it is not impossible to replace Google.

But Friends.com, a website built on the real social field, is like an instant messenger and a mobile phone number, which is difficult to change.

However, he did not study Huanyu Video, and he did not know what website Huanyu Video was.

"Let's go, come to my office. ”

Seeing the way Peppa looks, Larry knows that Paige must be in trouble.

"Teacher, this is the website of Huanyu Video, and the key to his core is here. ”

Pointing to the 15-second highlight area, Page still said with some incomprehension: "We have analyzed this layout, and we agree that the 15-second short video is indeed innovative, he successfully got more people to participate, and turned the viewer into the original creator of the video." However, most of the videos in the 15-second highlight area are boring, and I don't know how so many people like to watch them. ”

"This is Huanyu Technology's implantation of the social gene of the friend network into the video. ”

Larry said yes.

Page secretly praised in his heart.

Sure enough, the teacher is awesome, and you can see it at a glance.

"Yes, that's what we thought later. ”

"In that case, Paige, what do you have any doubts?"

"Teacher, we have analyzed the social attributes of these videos. However, according to our survey, a considerable number of users will spend 1-2 hours watching these 15-second short videos. Don't you think it's strange that even if it's a friend network, he can't spend more time on the friend network than that long. ”

1-2 hours, such a time can be said to be quite terrifying.

If you compare them to Google, the average time spent by users on Google is not even 1 minute.

Directly the search is finished, and then the Google search engine is turned off.

While it's true that the amount of time it takes to video sites will increase a lot, it's not as scary.

"That's true. ”

When Page said this, Larry also took it very seriously.

He felt like it was something he hadn't come across before.

"Page, I can't give my judgment right now. ”

"I'll have to experience it for a few days. ”

Larry looked a little excited.

He felt that he had come across a subject that was extremely interesting.

It was a subject he had never seen before.

He is even more attractive than the six-degree division theory of the Friends Network.

A few days later.

After a look at the study of Universal Video, Larry finally discovered the mystery.

"Paige, I found out, I found out. ”

Desperate, Larry called Paige.

"Teacher, what did you find?"

Page was also a little excited.

Although the whole company said that it would quickly imitate the model of Universal Video.

However, until he figured out their pattern, Page definitely didn't dare to move.

Because.

If you don't figure out other people's patterns before, even if you imitate them, you may draw tiger dogs.

And that's not even the worst of it.

The most serious thing is.

If the imitation fails, their first-mover advantage will be surpassed by Huanyu Video in one fell swoop.

It's a very sad thing.

A website they bought at a great price was accidentally overtaken by a newly established website.

What is it like?

Paige had no such experience.

But he knew that the experience must have been very bad.

"Fragmentation, fragmentation. ”

"Fragmentation?"

Page was stunned: "Teacher, what do you mean by fragmentation?"

"Quite simply, I ask you, what were you doing when you were 18 to 22 years old?"

"Going to school at Stanford. ”

"And then there's nothing else to do but go to school?"

"This ......"

Page didn't know what the teacher meant, but Larry continued, "When you were in school, didn't you eat, you didn't drink, you didn't sleep, you didn't go shopping, you didn't go out to play?"

"Teacher, what do you mean?"

"I'm talking about fragmented time. Going back to our question just now, it seems that you are 18-22 years old in school, but you actually do a lot of things while going to school, and these many things are actually fragmented time. He is not a complete time, but this fragmented time is still incomparably abundant. ”

"Teacher, can it be simpler?"

"Absolutely. If you go to work today, what will you do during your break?"

"I'll have a cup of coffee. ”

"Can you drink coffee and watch a 15-second short video at the same time?"

"Absolutely. ”

"So in addition to your time off work, when you go home to rest, can you also watch these short videos? Not to mention the time to go to work, even if it is work time, if there is nothing to do at this time, can I also watch a few 15-second videos?"

In fact, the fragmentation time is not less than the normal time.

It's just that many times many people can't take advantage of this time.

In many cases, most people spend this fragmented time in various places.

For example, find someone to talk to, have a cup of coffee, read the newspaper, and take a few minutes for a walk...... Wait a minute.

But if there is a website that collects all this fragmented time at this time, then you will spend most of your fragmented time on these short videos. After all, it's obviously much easier to watch short videos than other more boring things...... Moreover, from time to time, you can also brush out some hot body girl paper, isn't it a very cool thing?

"My God......"

Receiving the teacher's guidance, Paige was completely dumbfounded.

He finally understood why Huanyu Video was able to explode so much.

It can be said that the fragmented time theory is more classic than the sixth-degree division theory.

At the same time, applying this theory to real-life events can be even more explosive.

It's a perfect business model.

Suddenly, Page seemed to remember that he had seen this pattern before.

It reminded him of an electronic display ad for an office building in his office building.

It's a pity.

Page had been spotting these ads before, but he didn't know that such ads were indeed using fragmented time.

These electronic screen advertisements in office buildings take advantage of the few minutes that everyone waits for the elevator, but they create a new business model.

And, the business model has been very successful.

It is said that Focus Media, which has developed this model, is about to go public.

And what he didn't expect was even more.

This kind of brand-new theory is put on the Internet, and he will be so explosive.
