Chapter 509: The First Year of the Internet
The Internet has been around for many years, not to mention any e-commerce, knowing what email is all about, is already a big talent.
Of course, this is a relatively large range. The crazy people in Silicon Valley naturally won't be so superficial.
"Hello everyone, I'm William White, and I'm announcing the official launch of NBC Online, where you can not only communicate with different people, but also have a free email address, and of course, if you are willing to pay some fees, we will also provide some value-added services. ”
After checking it out, William White pressed enter. The first message from NBC Online is here.
The official unveiling of NBC Online surprised the people who eat melons. What kind of thing is yours?
Sometimes that's the case, the more you hide it, the easier it is to attract public attention.
Since someone is paying attention, there will naturally be someone to reveal the secret. Of course, a group of paparazzi are also very confused now.13 Could it be that NBC has created another news platform?
The paparazzi think so, in fact, they overestimate the current Internet. Nowadays, there is only BBS, and it is no problem to make some announcements, and short messages are also fine. As for the rest, there is no way to talk about it without a website.
Rao is so, this NBC online is already very amazing. The most important thing is that this guy's free mailbox is really easy to use.
"Boss, isn't the rent of 1.99 yuan a month a bit of a loss?"
"Haha, Tom, the price is not what I care about, transfer you to NBC Online, the purpose is not to make a profit, what I need is the number of users. ”
"Boss, if this continues, the loss will be very serious, are you sure?"
"I'm pretty sure, I'll give you 100 million dollars first, don't worry about burning it. There are only two data I need, the number of paid registered users, the number of user views. ”
"Well, as you wish. ”
Tom didn't know what traffic does, but William White does. It's a bit new to put traffic in a few years, and in a few years, it's a person who can say something.
Email is even more straightforward, it's a winner-takes-all thing. As soon as he did this, the existing few small companies immediately collapsed.
Someone said, "Isn't it a bit too big for you to engage in instant messaging right now?" It's very dangerous to do this, so don't talk about it.
Well, you're overthinking this. What NBC offers online is just a public communication platform. It's a bit like the board games of later generations. You can only choose a different area or community, such as the Los Angeles community or so-and-so university.
If you have to compare side-by-side with Little Penguin, then I'm sorry, even in the next generation, I can't find one that can be compared.
Everyone's population base is different, and the so-called number of people online is even more incomparable.
The current NBC online, although a little vulgar, is eye-catching enough. Although the number of people who use the Internet is not large, these guys are of a high level.
The outside world has mixed reviews, and William White doesn't care. Within his company, he has begun to promote paperless office.
William White was having a good time, but Bill Gates was a little sore. His Windows 3.0 clearly ignores the networking function.
"This bastard, you wouldn't have said it sooner? Now it seems that it is only a fuss on the 3.1 system. Bill Gates was a little indignant, but he didn't expect that William White did it on purpose.
Don't look at it as just a freeware, like the browser, it's a winner-takes-all game. This is true for browsers, and it is still true for email receiving systems.
William White is very sure that as long as Bill Gates is not stupid, he will definitely be adopted. Of course, he can also make one himself. It's just that without the cooperation of NBC Online, his software will definitely be identified as garbage.
"Boss, is he here to promote the use of the Internet?"
"Hehe, this plan will not be decided in a day, and if we hadn't compromised on ADSL, I'm afraid he wouldn't have done it. This cunning guy. ”
"Yes, Time Warner also has plans to follow up, and this promotional platform is kind of interesting. ”
"Propaganda platform? ”
NBC Online is free, but to paraphrase an old saying, free stuff is the most expensive. At least, the propaganda of 007 GoldenEye started from the Internet.
After listening to the report of his subordinates, the old guy of Da Mo was a little confused. Hundreds of thousands of views are nothing, but the level and spending power of these guys are definitely very good.
To say how good the propaganda effect is13, this is not to say, that is, the level of a second-rate tabloid. What has attracted the attention of all parties is this development trend.
Yes, in just one week, major universities in the United States have first entered the era of NBC online. It's a bit of a pleasure.
College students, naturally, are very quick to accept new things. It's hard to say whether this so-called instant messaging has any other role. It's not too convenient to organize some parties or something.
"Boss, if you had made this thing a few years earlier, my college life would have been more exciting. ”
", this is not my original intention, these children, how can this be, I let you discuss studying, you actually use it for dating. ”
Jason Gao was unimpressed by William White's indignation. He was very sure that if he learned from Shenma, he wouldn't care about it. This kind of indignation now is almost the meaning of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"Boss, why don't we pretend to be?"
"Cut, don't talk about it, you might be fine, buddy, if you do this, the movement will be big. Forget it, cheap these boys. Still, there are some sensitive words that need to be set, these damn bastards. ”
William White didn't care about this group of children, but he didn't want this platform to be used by others. There are too many smart people, and some network management must be brought out, and if the jumping is too happy, the account will be banned directly.
Regulation or something, it will naturally attract dissatisfaction, and it will be the same everywhere. Of course, William White is also a method. You can say whatever you want, if it involves religion and politics, then it must be blocked. If it involves racial issues, there is no negotiation for a direct ban.
If you get a big hat up, the others will naturally lose their temper. The most important one is that people are free.
Yes, this is very important, since it is free, the right of interpretation is in the hands of others. If you are interested, people are welcome. If you make something out of place, they can kick you out.
It's so domineering, it's just so unreasonable. Of course, if you become a registered user, the permissions will naturally be different.
To put it bluntly, money isn't the biggest problem. Registered users, that's real people. Tourist identity, who knows if it is ulterior motives. It doesn't matter if you browse it, if you spray it at will, others can't reason if they want to find you.
