Chapter 208: Reinvention
"What you see is what you get?"
"What you see is what you get?"
"What you see is what you get?"
……
"What is WYSIWYG?"
Almost all six-eared IM users have such doubts in an instant. In the bottom right corner of their computer screen, a pop-up pop-up window popped up linking to a download page on the Yahoo website.
A WYSIWYG web editing tool that does not require HTML language foundation, and can directly view the effect of web design without cumbersome settings......
For the first time, Internet users have learned that there is such a convenient feature, which is called "what you see is what you get".
Making a website is no longer the preserve of programmers or skilled craftsmen, but a job that can be done by ordinary people. It's as simple as using typesetting software, just insert a table and set up the representation of the content in various levels. It only takes a few minutes to generate a web page with the most basic functions.
It has content, it has pictures, it has hyperlinks. Of course, unless you have some art skills, it can be a little ugly.
But it's 1995 anyway, and most of the sites are ugly. People have neither the concept of web design nor the technical means to implement it. So, it's not a big deal. Compared to the form of presentation, the website at this time is definitely the content of the king.
“SixearsEdit.”
Countless people have been silently reciting the name, and since the day it arrived, the entire Internet has ceased to be the toy of a few tech enthusiasts. Or a communication tool that scientists are high up and about. It has finally become a platform where everyone can make their voices heard, and it is ready to soar.
A large website system inherited from the rotten military network. will eventually reach the end of its life, and the Internet, as an ordinary person, will make its own voice. He is about to be crowned king!
Anyone with a basic knowledge of typesetting software can get started with SixearsEdit in less than a few hours.
Because it's so simple, what is WYSIWYG? That is, what the user sees, and the final generated effect is the same. Before that, people wanted to make a web page, they had to use text editing tools and write the code of the web page by hand. Then save the file as a web page and open it in a browser to see the specific effect.
This method of production is not only extremely cumbersome, but also requires the creator to be extremely familiar with the design language of the web page. Otherwise. Maybe you accidentally write a wrong number, and the result is a mess. To find out what went wrong, you have to go through the entire source code.
With WYSIWYG SixearsEdit, the web editing tool is different, and the maker doesn't have to deal with code. The program translates the designer's intent into a web file without any mistakes.
It's a very novel experience, where what was originally an advanced skill that belongs only to professionals is suddenly a skill that everyone can skill. How can Internet users who are already envious of cool web pages not want to make their own website?
In the server room of Liuer Software, the occupancy rate of network bandwidth has risen sharply again.
And not just because of the skyrocketing number of downloads. The amount of uploaded data received by the server is also rising rapidly.
Just completing the creation of a web page does not really make a personal website prosperous. Because for a website to be seen by others, it needs to be more than just a web page. You also have to put the web page on a server on the Internet.
Without web space, domain names, and various Internet services, a personal website is still a castle in the water. On the Internet, however, there is very little free space for ordinary people to upload websites.
While there are some research institutes that offer free cyberspace to the average person. But they either have limited slots or unstable services. Throughout the early days of the internet. Building a website is still quite an expensive thing to do, and it's a drop in the bucket of free space on the internet. It simply cannot be decisive.
However, the upload function of the Six Ears Editor can upload the well-made web page to the server of Six Ears Software Company.
With the second-level domain name provided by Liuer, users can easily access their own websites on the Internet.
WYSIWYG web page creation tools and free web space are Zhou Shuo's Internet "reengineering" plans.
The number of hosts has been increased again, and the server room of Liulu Software Co., Ltd. has been increased with 10G bandwidth at the backbone level. The free web space provided by the six-ear editor is not only stable but also extremely fast, as long as the storage space is sufficient, there is no need to worry about the service crash at all.
"Eugene. Kaspersky? Zhou Shuo looked at this tall bear-like Russian, who was not only strong, but also had a pair of eagle-like eyes.
"Hello, Mr. Joey." Kaspersky nodded, this was the first time he had seen Zhou Shuo.
Zhou Shuo glanced around, came over curiously, and asked softly, "Ask in private, have you really been a KGB?" ”
Kaspersky thought for a moment, raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly, and said affirmatively: "It's just a clerical job, responsible for the research of password cracking techniques." ”
"Presumably with a former KGB employee, there won't be any problems with our server security, right?" Zhou Shuo smiled with satisfaction and asked jokingly.
"You can leave your security to me, Mr. Joy." Kaspersky said proudly.
With the full protection of hardware, internet speed, and security, there is no obstacle that can stop the rapid growth of personal websites.
Although the quality of personal websites is not as high as that of commercial websites, the sheer number of them is more than enough to make up for this shortcoming. The web page produced by the six-ear editor naturally conforms to the W3C web page standard, and can achieve the best display effect with the six-ear browser.
Moreover, the program of the six-ear editor also integrates the six-ear browser. When testing access to these sites, users will naturally opt for the app's built-in six-ear browser. As long as you have used the six-ear browser, it is not difficult for people to find that whether it is loading or connecting to the web page, the six-ear browser is much faster than the Netscape browser!
Although it is only a reduction of three or four seconds, this is undoubtedly a better experience for netizens who have long been fed up with snail-like Internet speeds.
No one can resist this smoother online experience, just as no one can resist the vanity of being an Internet webmaster.
As of 24 o'clock on the day of the release of the sixears editor, the second-level domain name of the sixears website has increased by more than 2,000. This means that in just one day, the number of websites in the world has increased by one-tenth.
Although there are more than 2,000 websites, they have only brought more than 500,000 IP visits. But the number of sites is too exciting. Yahoo's website even has a special section to recommend some of these excellent personal websites.
The Internet is about to enter the first grassroots era ahead of schedule.
A high school student who was struggling with how to confess suddenly lit up when he saw the six-eared editor. Tom, who studied art since he was a child. Clark hurriedly made a confession page and sent it to the goddess in his heart through the six-eared IM.
"Hi, dear Alice. I made a website for you and I hope you like it! ”
A text message with a web address attached to it was sent to the goddess's six-eared IM, but what he didn't know was that the site could be seen not only by the goddess, but also by other people.
Who knows if Lu Dao didn't take any medicine, this courtship website accidentally fell into the eyes of Yahoo's column editors. So this high school student from Illinois, made a website to courting the goddess, which appeared on the front page of this column.
In just one hour, the site was visited by more than five thousand people. By the time Yahoo made other recommendations, 60,000 people had visited his website, and the number was growing. The first grassroots internet celebrity was born, a man named Tom. Clark's high school students became nationally known almost overnight.
With the help of Six Ears Software's public relations, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and even the Far Away Times all reported on the young boy who unexpectedly became popular. But it's a pity that the object of his courtship rejected him at all times......
Although the ending is not very perfect, the driving force of a living example is endless. Just a week later, the number of personal websites uploaded using the Six Ears Editor reached a staggering 10,000! Even though most of them are very simple resume-like personal introductions, shoddy courtship websites, mood essays that don't know what to understand, or personal photography and music works, the number of visits brought by them has reached 2 million IPs!
Since the birth of the Internet in 1990, there were only more than 20,000 websites in the world by 1995. In five years, the six-ear editor is halfway through in a week. When will the number of personal websites dominate the web? No one can say the exact when, but no one would doubt this fact at all.
And the two million visits brought by these websites have also shocked Internet industry insiders. In other words, in just one week, the number of visits to the Sixears website has already equaled that of Yahoo. Although the market share of Netscape Browser has not declined significantly, it cannot be denied that one-tenth of Internet computers in the United States have installed Six-Ear Browser.
At the moment, the two can still live in peace, but there are too few websites that comply with W3C standards. But after personal websites occupy the mainstream, who knows when Ludao will face a situation of choosing one or the other?
Above the mighty Netscape Empire, a dark cloud faintly floated in. (To be continued......)
