Chapter 399 Regulation and Excavation

As mentioned earlier, the more conspicuous position on the homepage of Facebook is divided into a separate star area.

In this special area, there is a leaderboard, which is a place for celebrity fans to help their idols hit the list.

In addition, there is a column that is not as conspicuous as the popularity list, but it should not be underestimated.

After all, now on Facebook, the traffic of the star area is the largest, as long as any content appears in the star area on the homepage, the number of clicks is extremely high!

This column is called "Editor-in-Chief Recommendation".

Wu Xiu's greatest power as the "editor-in-chief of the star area" is to decide the content of this "editor-in-chief's recommendation" column.

She can filter some interesting content according to the recommendations of her employees or display them in this column.

At present, Facebook has not been separately divided to set up a branch, and it is still a project department under Star Technology, and the personnel are mainly technical employees.

Therefore, although Wu Xiu is an editor-in-chief, in fact, there are few employees to manage, but he just asked for a few interns who are not technical majors, which can be regarded as the "highest authority" in the Facebook star area!

Don't say it, Wu Xiu's team, everyone is quite enthusiastic about this work.

Originally, they were all young people, so they liked to brush Facebook, and most of them liked celebrities.

Now, the content of the work is directly Facebook, or is it in charge of the celebrity area, and the hobby has become a job, which is definitely everyone's dream.

However, Wu Xiu also understands that Facebook is not a small website, and it cannot be arbitrary, let alone work according to its own preferences, and it must be clear between public and private.

Especially in the management of this kind of celebrity zone, if it is not done well, it will cause a commotion among fans, and it must be "fair, just, and open", and there can be no partiality.

As soon as the group was established, Wu Xiu emphasized these things many times to several of his employees.

She herself is also a strict check, and she is very strict about the content that appears in the "Editor-in-Chief's Recommendation" column.

Those who can appear in this column are roughly divided into three gears.

The first gear is, of course, the latest news of the big stars, no way, these big names are the façade of the celebrity section of Facebook, and they must be given appropriate resource tilt. This was also written in the cooperation contract at the beginning.

Of course, there are many celebrities on Facebook, and it depends on Wu Xiu's grasp of who to give it to and not to whom.

After discussing in Wu Xiu's group, they divided the stars into several grades, and the highest ones were all "kings and queens" level figures, and the faces of these big names were of course recommended in turn.

The faces of the remaining first-line stars depend on whether they have important content or more interesting content released, otherwise, they will not be able to get on the editor-in-chief's recommendation column.

As for the second- and third-tier stars, it is not impossible to get on it, but the probability is very low, and there must be something that can make everyone's eyes shine, then the website will also give support.

This third gear is actually the focus of Wu Xiu's efforts.

Super first-line stars are familiar to everyone, in fact, there is no need for website promotion, fans should have paid attention to it for a long time.

Starlets, especially interesting ones, are the potential growth point.

Before taking office, Wu Xiu once asked Yu Wenfei for advice, that is, how to do a good job as the supervisor of the star zone.

This kind of small question, if it is asked by others, Yu Wenfei probably doesn't bother to deal with it.

You are a supervisor, and you don't know how to do your job well, so it's better to give way as soon as possible!

But Wu Xiu is different, the relationship is extraordinary, and Yu Wenfei patiently told her a lot of things.

In 2003, the Internet industry was still in the stage of "savage growth", and everyone was staking their land and operating extensively.

Like Facebook, even if it is a very carefully managed and carefully managed website.

Blog sites, including portals, are actually all about content, but with different content.

In terms of management, blog sites are much more difficult than portals, and in terms of one aspect of content moderation, there is no comparison.

The portal is its own editorial team, and the company decides what content to publish, which is very convenient in terms of content control.

But blog sites are different, they are thousands of individual users, and others can post whatever they want, and it is very difficult to supervise the website.

With the size of Facebook, tens of millions of registered users are naturally all kinds of people, and among them, there will inevitably be all kinds of messy content.

And it is very, very troublesome to supervise, and it requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

Fortunately, at that time, the policy was still very relaxed, and the atmosphere was relatively good, and the state did not care about these remarks on the Internet, and there were no corresponding policies and regulations.

Seriously, if it is according to the standards of more than ten years later, one of those websites in the past few years will be counted as one, and all of them will have to be closed, and the person in charge will go in for tea!

Facebook has already begun to make preparations for content supervision.

Because ordinary users have few fans and little influence, they don't need to focus on monitoring for the time being.

But celebrities are different, they have a large number of fans and great influence, so their Facebook content must be regulated.

Wu Xiu's team, the first major job responsibility, is to review the face content of celebrities.

Yu Wenfei specifically mentioned that the content related to politics must be handled carefully, and if it is not grasped well, it can be temporarily blocked.

Facebook's celebrities, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are all there, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be individual "flies", in case a certain celebrity makes inappropriate remarks and causes a discussion on the Internet, Facebook does not want to be interviewed by the competent unit above because of this.

This is the first point, and it is also the most important work content of Wu Xiu's team.

The second aspect is to discover new talents.

Facebook not only has big names, but also a lot of small stars who are not yet famous, how to tap potential newcomers, this is a test of Wu Xiu's ability.

This potential does not refer to the potential of singing and acting, it can only depend on the artist's own efforts and luck.

Rather, it's about the potential to attract users' attention on Facebook.

Yu Wenfei knows that the Internet can also "make stars"!

There are many Internet celebrities in later generations, but they are much more famous than some small stars, and they can also bring a lot of traffic to the website.

And these singers and artists have a greater advantage than ordinary people, and they are also the people who are most likely to become Internet celebrities.

If Wu Xiu and the others can dig out a few typical representatives, and Facebook directly makes these people popular, then Facebook's influence will be further expanded.

A website with star-making ability, that's a different concept.

In the future, when Facebook talks to these celebrities about contract renewal and other things, it will also have a greater say!

............

Therefore, after talking with Yu Wenfei, Wu Xiu's responsibilities for himself are: supervise the content and tap new stars!
