Chapter 288: The Miracle of the Internet
Harvard, MIT, Stanford, ......"
After many well-known colleges and universities learned about this "Renren Network" on the Internet, many students have registered for this website. Moreover, since the site has a promotion campaign, as long as the registered member successfully promotes ten other members, then the site will bring certain rewards to the member. In this way, one to ten, ten to hundred, not to mention, there are already some teams around the world who are personally promoting it.
In addition, Renren is already full of a lot of fun, but it has just been launched, and it has attracted countless friends.
These are just some of the well-known colleges and universities in the United States, however, with the promotion of the Internet. Especially for the kind of promotion, Renren has slowly covered the whole world under the strong recommendation of students all over the world. Although, in this world, there are not many people who use it temporarily. However, the speed at which his burst grew was exponentially exponential.
In order to let more friends join their circle, users have been spreading on the Internet. Soon, many users in a region quickly joined one of their circles. In addition, some users are already working on the site and are ready to form alliances with other schools.
For seven days, "Lyce" worked hard and kept spreading on the Internet. Of course, they just took the spread to a head. It is still the majority of users who really spread "Renren" to all parts of the world. Of course, Les Les was able to promise to connect 100 colleges and universities in the United States in seven days, and this is exactly what he knows.
So, Les agreed very happily and did a good job.
In addition, in the past seven days, the appearance of Renren has attracted the attention of some media.
AOL reported that a community website called "Renren" has appeared in the United States. The website is mainly circulated among students in colleges and universities, and players can interact with a series of communities through Renren, including comments, video sharing, and so on...... However, at the moment, we have not found an effective monetization model, and if it is advertising, it does not seem to be able to break even.
In fact, Chen Jiayi was afraid that the model of "Renren" would be copied, so he was too worried. Just like later generations, the emergence of Facebook has not received the attention of the mainstream media for a long time. Because, they think, it's just a game played by some students. It is their contempt that makes Facebook complete the most primitive user accumulation.
In just half a month, half of Harvard's undergraduates joined the "Facebook" camp. Then, within two months, colleges and universities across the United States had joined the mix, with 1 million users. It wasn't until 2005, with the rapid growth of Facebook, that it received more than 10 million venture capital funds.
It is because of this investment that Facebook began to go global. In addition to setting up servers around the world, it has expanded from university campuses to high schools and even Xiǎo schools, in addition to 21 universities in the United Kingdom, ITESM in Mexico, the University of Bō Rico, and the University of the Virgin Islands, and by the end of 2005, universities in Australia and New Zealand have also joined Facebook, so far, there are more than 2,000 universities and high schools on Facebook.
The road after that is Facebook's world expansion. India, Germany, France...... Almost the whole world, with the exception of China, has joined Facebook's camp.
With so many users, it was not until later that it also brought a huge amount of advertising revenue to Facebook, and later in 2010, it reached billions of dollars. Of course, compared to Google, he is much worse. However, Facebook undoubtedly connects all the users in the world. Moreover, his development value is very great, and in the future, with the localization + mobile phone service, the future value-added plan will have more development potential than any website.
However, Chen Jiayi's over-worry is not unreasonable. It is undoubtedly good to quickly seize the original market, at least, when you grab the market instantly, others can't get in if they want to. Although nothing like this has happened yet, who knows which financial giant, he just wants to play here.
It wasn't until later that many people began to analyze the success of Renren, and they found that it only took seven days for Renren to complete the initial initial expansion in universities around the world. So, the next thing is the overwhelming advertising. Further absorb those users who have not yet registered into the "Renren" system. ,
Of course, at the time of media advertising all over the world. Renren's own kind of pyramid/marketing communication is also constantly going on. Since then, advertising and self-dissemination, Renren has occupied the global market in just a few months. Until major investors wake up, but it is too late. Because, they found that there is another large mén website in the world.
Although, this site is only community xìng qualitative. However, his IP stream is not worse than others at all.
……
Oxford.
The University of Oxford, like Harvard University, is one of the world's leading universities. The students here have a deep cultural heritage and academic knowledge, and their hands-on ability is very strong.
"Lisa, I'll recommend you an interesting site."
Inside Oxford University, in a dormitory building for NV students, a Nordic NV student said to an NV kid sitting in front of a computer watching a movie.
"What website?"
The NV kid didn't look back, and then said, "I said Alva, don't recommend me those spoof sites anymore. The site you recommended to me yesterday almost scared me to death. ”
Yes, this NV named "Alva" likes to be funny the most. Often on the Internet, she recommends some funny websites to some friends from time to time. Yesterday, for example, she recommended a spoof site to Lisa. As long as you click on the website, then there is a strange scream from the website in an instant, followed by a grimace. If you turn on the stereo, you will definitely be scared half to death, let alone for NV children.
"Lisa, I can assure you, it's a fun site."
"Well, you say that every time."
Seeing the website sent by Alva, Lisa just didn't click it.
"Lisa, trust me one more time. Really, this website has gathered more than 2,000 universities around the world. Including Harvard, Massachusetts, Chicago in the United States...... Even we in Oxford have a lot of friends who have come to the site. Moreover, there are a lot of handsome guys in it...... Look, I heard that the University of Cambridge is in a friendship with Harvard University. ”
"Really?"
"Yes, Lisa, I swear to God, this time it's true."
Alva also knew that her character was not good, and she dared to rush to bring out the most powerful God. Sure enough, when Lisa heard Alva swear in God's name, she nodded and chose to believe. Then, click on the link sent by "Alva" and enter a community called "Renren".
"Look, Lisa, I didn't lie to you."
Seeing Lisa open the website, Alva smiled triumphantly, because she had already recommended ten users to "Renren" today, and after a while, she could enter "Renren" to receive the prize.
"Okay, you're not lying to me, but this site doesn't seem to be interesting?"
Lisa looks at a monotonous registration screen that only says that your friend "Alva" invites you to sign up for Renren and play with her and enjoy community life.
"Hey, you have to sign up to have fun. You know, the photo album I uploaded yesterday has already been commented on by a lot of people, and I have received a lot of men's dates today. I was thinking, with so many dates, which one should I choose? ”
Western NV children are generally more open, even Chinese NV children will like a lot of people to chase after them. Even if she wouldn't be friends with so many people, it was obviously a thing to show off when she was dating so many people. For Alva, such a thing is the embodiment of the charm of a person.
"Yes."
Lisa was a little moved.
"Yes, yes. Lisa, sign up. You see, the blog you updated before, that no one appreciated. I think you just need to sign up for Renren. If you post a post on Renren, there will definitely be a lot of comments. ”
Lisa likes to write blogs, but unfortunately, Lisa's blog has not been watched. This made him feel comforted at the same time, but also a little depressed. Now that she heard Alva say that Renren was so interesting, she started to sign up.
In three minutes, Lisa completed a series of registrations. And, she copied all the blogs she had written before. It didn't take long, and to my surprise, Lisa's log had quickly received a reply from netizens. Among them, a netizen from Cambridge said, "Hi, it's nice to meet you. Your blog is so bāng, I think, you must be a beautiful nv kid. ”
"It's true!"
This made Lisa xiǎoxiǎo's jī move. Unexpectedly, I used to write blogs every day, and no one watched the notes. Now it has just been uploaded, and it has been favored by netizens. Moreover, this netizen is also a Cambridge classmate. Lisa looked at his profile and found that this classmate was still a top student in Cambridge and was famous throughout Cambridge University.
"I didn't think it was so interesting."
Although Lisha didn't have much contact with Renren.com, from the function of this xiǎoxiǎo, he learned that this community website was so interesting. He made some of his ideas, including everything about himself, interact with a lot of friends. It's a lot more fun than one person wandering around the Internet.
……
With the development of Renren, especially the terrifying promotion methods, Renren finally stood out on the global Internet website, and the website ranking instantly increased by hundreds of thousands of times.
"The miracle of the Internet, Renren."
That's the quote from the front page headlines of AOL.
Finally, by now, the world's media is waking up. This kind of promotion plan of Renren has shocked the world's Internet companies. They never imagined that a newborn Internet site could be promoted like this. Moreover, in just a few months, they have reached tens of millions of IP streams......
It's nothing short of a miracle.
A miracle of the Internet, such a miracle, is much more powerful than Yahoo back then.
