Since you want to find a way, you must first see what kind of things Dong Xiaoxue and the others have made, so that they can "prescribe the right medicine".

Yu Wenfei casually opened the Facebook video software that was being tested on the computer.

At that time, there were no formal video websites on the market, and some websites that provided pirated film and television drama downloads were also very simple and could not be played online.

Just kidding, the bandwidth for online playback, of course, is not something that those small pirated sites can afford.

Facebook Video is the first video site in the true sense!

Moreover, the Facebook video website does not play videos directly, but there is a special playback software, and you can watch videos directly on the software.

There are several reasons for this.

The first one, of course, is anti-piracy!

Web anti-piracy is difficult, because there are too many crawling tools, but software anti-piracy, there is a lot of room for operation, and in the era of mobile Internet, it can also be easily transformed. So this time, the Facebook video is in place in one step, directly on the video software, skipping the step of the web page.

Second, in order to improve the playback speed, the Internet bandwidth is still limited, especially for many users, the Internet speed is not fast.

The Facebook video software also uses the same B-T technology as the Facebook game platform, which allows users to watch videos with a significant increase in internet speed.

The third, of course, is also for the sake of overall strategic considerations.

Occupy the user's desktop!

Now the Facebook system already has Facebook and Facebook game platforms, of which Facebook is still the web version, but the Facebook game platform has long been software, if you add Facebook video and Facebook music. Then there will be three software in the Facebook system on the user's computer desktop! And it won't be long before Facebook will launch its own software version, slowly diluting the web version.

Don't underestimate this transition from web to desktop, it is very difficult for users to develop habits, but once they form habits, then in the future competition, Facebook will have a greater advantage.

I am used to using these software on my computer, and I will download it on my mobile phone as soon as possible.

Moreover, there is another advantage of independent software, that is, the software appears directly on the user's computer desktop, and when the user wants to use it, it can be used with a direct click. There is no need to open the browser, search for the URL, enter the homepage, log in to the account and a series of tedious operations!

Facebook does not do browsers and search engines, if users need to jump through browsers and search engines, it is equivalent to through the platform of another company, and others will control the traffic entrance!

After the softwareization, all the software of the Facebook spectrum system has become a traffic entrance by itself, and there is no need to look at other people's faces to act!

Everything is to welcome the arrival of the "mobile Internet era".

At present, perhaps only Yu Wenfei knows that the PC era will end in a few years, and the era of mobile Internet is coming!

So, he has to prepare in advance.

………………

In addition, Yu Wenfei has another deep meaning that has not been said, that is, since the face spectrum is going to the position of the leader of the global Internet industry.

Then, sooner or later, it will face strong opponents like Tencent, Baidu, and even Google.

Tencent has not yet formed a climate, and the moment WeChat was launched, it basically entered the "countdown to death", which is not to be feared.

But Baidu, for a while, there is really no way to take it.

The search engine is a technical job, not to mention Dr. Li's character, but in terms of search technology, he is an internationally recognized "big bull"!

Even the Google brothers were inspired to come up with Google after listening to Dr. Li's lecture.

Therefore, Baidu's success depends on technology.

Facebook does not currently do search software, and the current traffic entrance of the Internet is the search engine!

In other words, Baidu controlled the traffic entrance of the domestic Internet, and those years were when Baidu was invincible.

Moreover, Facebook wants to make content and emphasize copyright protection, while Baidu is the opposite, it can be said that most of the piracy on the Internet is concentrated on Baidu, that is, relying on those pirated content, Baidu can attract more users.

In this regard, Facebook and Baidu must have a "tough battle" to fight!

Yu Wenfei's style is that he either doesn't make a move, or once he does, he will kill the opponent like a wind sweep.

So, he starts preparing for future encounters now.

All the software of the Facebook spectrum system must do its own traffic entrance and get rid of Baidu's "hijacking", so that when the war really starts, there will be no worries.

Google and Baidu are also search engines, which can be seen as a strengthened version of Baidu for the time being.

The confrontation with Baidu can also be seen as a rehearsal before the war with Google, and all these preparations will not be wasted.

………………

Facebook video software and other Facebook software maintain the same style, simple and easy to use!

The interface of the whole software is very clean, and the videos are divided into several categories, and you can enter the category page by clicking the corresponding button. On the main page, there are carefully selected TV series and movies, arranged in small rectangular squares.

Yu Wenfei clicked on a movie casually, watched it, and felt that the picture quality was not good, but it was within an acceptable range.

Of course, this is based on his request, if you look at it from an ordinary netizen, it is estimated that it will be too clear!

After all, before, the pirated movies downloaded on the Internet were only a few tens of MB, so the picture quality was so mushy.

It's not that Facebook video can't provide a higher definition video,But that's not necessary,It takes up too much server space,And the network speed can't support it,At present, this picture quality has been repeatedly tested,It can allow most users to watch smoothly,It won't be stuck for ten minutes to watch a minute。

"Okay, this software was made by the Facebook technical team, right?" Yu Wenfei asked casually.

Dong Xiaoxue said with a smile: "Yes, Facebook's technical team is really powerful, and it has come up with two software for video and music in a short period of time, and both user experience and functionality are impeccable!"

In terms of technology, the Facebook company has always been very strong, two or three thousand programmers, that is not for nothing.

Yu Wenfei turned off the video software and opened the music software again, and as soon as he saw the software interface, he was stunned.

Because it looks a little familiar......

Facebook Music software is not like those music players on the market at that time.

Other music players, at that time, were all about compactness, and everyone's philosophy was that the smaller the space occupied by the software, the better, and the simpler the software interface, the better.

But Facebook Music does the opposite.

When opened, a large rectangle that looks no smaller than video software.

The overall style and Facebook video software have been maintained, the colors are plain and elegant, and the interaction is friendly.

But in terms of functionality, Facebook Music software can not only play songs, it also has functions such as "discover music", "charts", "recommended playlists", "create playlists" and so on......

There may be other players in the charts and playlists, but that "Discovery Music" is the first of its kind on Facebook!

"What is this for?" Yu Wenfei asked.

Dong Xiaoxue smiled proudly and replied: "Hasn't Facebook been researching big data over there, this discovery of music is one of their research results, and this time it was used for our music software!"

"Ah, it's so powerful, it's all recommended by big data, how is the effect? Yu Wenfei smiled, of course he knew what this "discovery music" was for, in fact, in the next ten years, basically every content software would have such a function.

But to be able to get it out in 2003, even if the effect is not so good, it is quite remarkable!

"The effect is quite good! I heard Mr. Lu say that what kind of latent factor algorithm is used.

The logical idea of this algorithm is this. Every user has their own preferences when listening to songs, for example, I like elements with small freshness, guitar accompaniment, and girl folk songs. The software will record my listening habits, and if a song has these elements, then recommend it to me!

It's about using various elements to connect users and music. Each user has different preferences for different music elements, and at the same time, each song contains different elements, and the results will be very accurate if you use a certain formula to calculate the weight of the elements. Dong Xiaoxue replied.

Dong Xiaoxue's answer really surprised Yu Wenfei a little.

He doesn't know what algorithm those music players will use in a dozen years, but it probably won't be better than this latent factor algorithm.

If that's the case, the Facebook music app is more than ten years ahead!

Click on a song at will, the lyrics display is of course indispensable, one-click to add to the playlist, one-click download everything.

What's new is that there's also a comment section under the song!

Here, you can leave a comment, post your comment on the song, and similar to Facebook, all comments can be liked and retweeted......

"Is this connected to Facebook?Can comments be forwarded directly to Facebook?" asked Yu Wenfei curiously.

"That's right, Facebook Music is a project team under Facebook.com, we and Facebook are all connected, the account is universal, the songs can be forwarded to your Facebook network with one click, and the song comments can also be forwarded. Dong Xiaoxue said with a smile.

These functions can increase the stickiness of users to a large extent, is this all what Mr. Dong came up with, amazing. Yu Wenfei praised.

"It's not just me, it's the whole team. By the way, I pulled out a team from Facebook's content editors, all of whom make content, and text has similarities with music and video, and everyone is also interested in this. Mr. Fei, you definitely can't think of who my current assistant is?" Dong Xiaoxue said with a mysterious smile.
