Chapter 65: University Starts
"Of course, these are just the big categories, and there must be more detailed divisions under them. Sid laughed when he said this, "But it's up to you how to break it down." ”
"Wow. "Go—"
"Boss, you've dug a big hole for us to jump into. For a while, everyone in the conference room had a feeling of blood in their chests.
"Hee-hee, otherwise I'd be the boss. Sid laughed rudely.
Then he clicked on the keyboard a few times, and finally finished what he was doing while in the meeting, "OK, it's finally done." ”
As he spoke, Sid synced the footage from his notebook to another big screen in the conference room, which was the concise video playback page of Youtube.
In the center of the playback page is the video playback page, while on the right is the playlist of related videos, and below is the comment section of the page.
Of course, between the playback page and the comment section, the main avatar and name are spread on the video.
And the anchor's avatar on this page is the avatar of Sid's frontal photo, as well as his screen name "Sid Leon's Vlog".
"OK, children's shoes, the first video ever uploaded on Youtube. With that, Sid clicked the play button on the play page.
Then the screen starts to move, and in the video, Sid is standing in front of a live performance stage at Ocean Park in San Diego, Los Angeles, smiling at the camera, "You know what? These guys are said to have no worse IQ than humans, isn't that cool?"
As he spoke, two dolphins jumped out of the water and made a beautiful arc, and the spectators sitting in the stands exclaimed in amazement.
Sid looked at the camera again and smiled, "What a beautiful creation." ”
Then the video came to an abrupt end!
This video, which is only 25 seconds, was shot by Sid when he was playing with Britney Spears at the Los Angeles Zoo, and the appreciation of this video was taken by Britney Spears with a Sony DV camera.
"Papapapa-" Although it was just an ordinary video, it made everyone applaud.
Because it means that the efforts of the people in the previous year have finally come to tangible results.
"Well, I know you didn't applaud because of how good my video was, but I accepted it. Sid laughed as he playfully raised his hand.
Everyone couldn't help but be amused by Sid, "No, no, no, we are so moved because you shot so well Boss." ”
After a joke, Sid spoke again: "We like the simplicity of our interface, the bright layout of the blocks, the vivid icons and color tones, and the smooth typography. Red and white are also definitely the colors of the world, and they are pleasing to the eye when browsing the website. ”
"And the next thing we need to do is to make the categories more prominent and detailed, so that anyone can find what they need. ”
After talking about the content stuff, Sid moved on to another topic, "What about marketing?"
Hearing Sid's question, YouTube's marketing director immediately spoke: "We've already worked with some Japanese restaurants and pizzerias in California to log in to our website by default on their in-store computers to allow their users to download, watch, and share videos. ”
"Why these places?" asked Sid.
"Because of these relatively high-end restaurants, the customers are young people who are rich and free, and according to our preliminary market research, they are more receptive to video sites, and they are more willing to take the time to upload their own videos and watch other people's videos. The marketing director had clearly done his homework, and he replied quickly.
"yes, OK. Sid nodded, and then he continued, "That's good, but you've forgotten an important point. ”
"Where?"
"University Library!" Sid said with a faint smile.
In developed countries in Europe and the United States, university libraries generally have computers with Internet access, especially in places like California, even national and state public universities, there are manufacturers such as Microsoft, Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other manufacturers who invest in their brand computers.
So the computer equipment in the university is generally not bad.
The choice of university as the entry point is clearly influenced by the fact that Facebook has beaten Myspace in history.
"But even the internet in universities isn't going to be fast. Sean Parker began.
As a prodigal son who often fishes for girls at college parties, although he didn't go to college, Sean Parker knows a lot about the college network.
"That's where we come in. Sid said with a smile.
"College students are our future, and they are also the most receptive group to new things, and they are also the mainstay of the future society. Sid raised his index finger and said, "Therefore, it is the best place to start cultivating the habit of using it from college students." ”
"As for the problem that Shaun just said that the university internet speed is not fast. It's easy! We're going to pay for them to get high-speed broadband. ”
Sid's words made everyone realize, "But on the other hand, these university libraries need to help promote our website in the same way that pizzerias and Japanese restaurants." ”
"But in this case, the amount of money required to pay for the Internet of the university library alone is not a small amount. The financial director said as he lifted his glasses.
"So, after you do a good job of researching the relevant information and data, send it to me, and I will let my private finance team continue to inject funds. Sid shrugged his shoulders and said that this little money is really not in his eyes now.
"In that case, I'm fine. The CFO also nodded.
"But you don't have any ideas on the specifics, Sean?" Sid asked quippedly.
"Me?" Sean Parker looked at Sid quizzically.
"Don't you know what kind of people in the university are the ones who pry and lead the trend?" Sid smiled faintly.
"You mean......" Sean Parker certainly knew what Sid was talking about, "the social hubs of cheerleaders, sports stars, and so on in college?"
"Not bad. Sid nodded with satisfaction, "It's up to universities to promote Youtube, and one of the most important factors is the coercive factor!"
"Mandatory ...... Factors?" Sean Parker vaguely understood what Sid meant, "Are you saying that we go directly to those social centers in the university and let them use Youtube, and then promote it in their circles?"
"This is the principle, but the specific operation cannot be done in such a rigid way. Sid nodded and shook his head, "I'm more inclined to attract." ”9110
