Chapter 305: Isearch Rises Strongly
PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!
After the two-month antitrust investigation, the stock prices of Internet companies finally recovered, but only Isearch's stock price began to plummet! The reason is that after AOL acquired Global Online, it immediately replaced Isearch search with AOL search, resulting in a decrease in Isearch's market share!
Henry had already expected this.
This is only temporary, and anyone who bears on Isearch will be slapped in the face.
Google left Yahoo and developed in the same way, and finally crushed Yahoo completely!
Similarly, Isearch's advantages in search technology and user habits have doomed Isearch to still be in a leading position in the market.
Especially when Isearch establishes its own website search homepage, then netizens will leave the global online and directly open the Isearch website search homepage to search for what they want, and the global online user traffic will inevitably lose a lot. In addition, when Isearch develops hao123 Internet navigation, it will also be a major blow to the portal!
When the Internet was just emerging, the number of websites was very small and not famous, and most netizens had no idea where to start in the face of the vast sea of the Internet, and the portal website mainly provided search services to play the role of "entry" for netizens and became the "portal" for netizens to enter the Internet. Since then, news services have been regarded as the main business and even the core competitiveness of the web portal! The development of the web portal has also changed from a simple search website to a huge and comprehensive Internet information resource provider.
Search and portals have also become distinct!
However. When the Internet develops maturely, under the differentiated competition. With the creation of a variety of websites, people will no longer be completely dependent on portals for information or news. They can go directly to a website selectively!
Therefore, the decay of the portal is an inevitable development of history. But as the Internet becomes more and more informational, search becomes more and more important.
At present, newspapers are singing about Isearch, believing that if Isearch loses its global online, it is equivalent to losing its market position. But Isearch will tell them that the real loss of Isearch is the loss of Global Online, and AOL has made a loss-making transaction!
On November 1st, Isearch officially launched the search homepage of the Isearch website. At the same time, the www.hao123.com navigation website was also launched!
One month after the launch of the Isearch website, the website traffic ranked first on the Internet, far exceeding the combined number of global online and AOL!
In contrast, global online user traffic has dropped sharply, less than 60% of what it used to be.
Many netizens commented that the user experience has been extremely poor since AOL search was used online worldwide. AOL search is simply garbage, it can't be compared with Isearch at all, many things can't be searched, and there are many fake and deceptive ads!
Therefore. Many netizens know that Isearch has launched its own website search homepage, and they directly use the website to search. The search homepage of the Isearch website has a simple and clean interface, which is very popular. In the middle of the interface is a search box. Above is the Isearch logo, and below are some links. The first position is a "hao123 Internet navigation", after using the hao123 Internet navigation. I think it's very practical,There is an Isearch search box in the website,The following is a categorical list of links to major websites,Which website users like to enter,Very convenient,No need to enter the website address,Just click on the link directly!
Henry asked people to develop a function on the hao123 Internet navigation, when it is detected that the user is using the hao123 Internet navigation for the first time, the website will pop up a small prompt: "Please set the hao123 Internet navigation automatically as the home page of the browser!"
And the user only needs to click "OK" to complete the automatic setting function of the homepage of the browser!
hao123 Internet navigation is very fast, it is different from the portal, it is simply to provide links to major websites, for users who want to enter other websites convenient and trouble-free, plus there is an Isearch search box, so it is deeply liked by users, and it quickly swept the entire Internet!
hao123 Internet navigation is very popular, and the search homepage of the Isearch website is also very popular. In addition to the existing hao123 Internet navigation under the search box, there are also "paste bar", "encyclopedia", "music", "pictures", and Isearch map!
Use the Isearch map and enter what you want to search for to take a photo from the satellite and view the high-definition photos of the satellite. As for other features, they are still under development. However, this feature is already very impressive. Many netizens use the Isearch map to conduct all kinds of searches, and through satellite photos, netizens capture a lot of interesting pictures of the streets, and then post them on the Internet, which has attracted a lot of attention.
The launch of the Isearch map shocked countless netizens.
Compared with satellite photography, the camera is simply weak.
Satellite photography is full of science and technology, and netizens can take pictures of places thousands of miles away at home, which is simply refreshing!
The Isearch map quickly became popular. However, satellite photography can only be used by users who have registered with Isearch, and ordinary netizens can only view pictures that have been taken by satellites before! In order to be able to use satellites to take pictures, a large number of netizens have registered Isearch accounts.
For a time, the number of Isearch users increased significantly, and the user viscosity was extremely high.
Obviously, Isearch has broken away from the embrace of global online and relied on its own hao123 and search homepage, and the momentum of development has become more violent, advertisers have cooperated with Isearch, and the price has also increased a lot, and the shareholders who sold their shares before immediately regretted it.
The strong rise of Isearch has been greatly impacted by both Global Online and AOL.
People can do without Global Online and America Online, but they can't do without Isearch!
Isearch's stock price immediately skyrocketed, with a market value of more than $200 billion, while the stock price of Global Online plummeted, but the market value fell below $200 billion, only $165 billion, evaporating nearly $50 billion, and AOL's stock price naturally plummeted.
All of a sudden, the media began to sing the praises of Global Online and AOL.
Many economic commentators in the United States claimed: "AOL's acquisition of Global Online is the largest acquisition in history, and at the same time, it is also the most failed acquisition in history! Global Online is doomed to fail if it abandons Isearch and uses AOL search instead!"
Wall Street analysts said: "The rise of Isearch has shown us the power of search. As Isearch grows stronger, we have reason to believe that the stock prices of Global Online and AOL will continue to fall!"
At the moment, the atmosphere of AOL is very depressing.
Steve Keys was not as energetic as before, and his face was full of tiredness. He didn't expect the rise of Isearch to be so fast, people didn't have time to react!hao123 Internet navigation, Isearch website search homepage, and Isearch map for Steve Case, it was like three sharp arrows to the heart......
