Even people like Robin can't help but write answers, let alone other users.

Once Quora was launched, it quickly became popular throughout Silicon Valley.

Silicon Valley is looking forward to Newman's new products, and of course Zhongguancun is looking forward to it. For China's Internet companies, they have a model that they can learn from.

After the launch of the Riot Community, NetEase, Sina, and Sohu have successively copied the model of the Riot Community and launched their own game forums.

This time Sohu is at the forefront, as a doctor of physics from MIT, Zhang Chaoyang did the Internet originally to compromise for life, according to his character, he prefers to be a teacher.

After Quora was launched, his classmates in Massachusetts gave him a verification code for account registration, and Zhang Chaoyang scolded after registration: "Zhou Xin really doesn't follow the usual path."

Neither the game community nor the so-called quiz community open registration permissions on a large scale.

The Riot Games community only needs to spend money to get a verification code for registering an account, which is a higher threshold for Quora and is invite-only only. ”

Now belongs to the period of content precipitation, Quora only needs high-quality answers, and has not yet reached the stage of pursuing the number of users.

Therefore, Zhou Xin did not have the permission to open registration on a large scale, and they sent some registration verification codes to student organizations in various universities and professors in various universities.

At the same time, verification codes were also sent to the group of engineers and entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley.

After registering an account, these people will be given three more verification codes, which they can give to anyone they choose.

However, users who register an account by giving a verification code to others will no longer be able to obtain an account registration verification code.

This also led to Quora being very popular in Silicon Valley, and not everyone was able to speak on it.

So much so that on Ebay, a Quora captcha can sell for anywhere from $50 to $100.

"Why is quantum mechanics so hard to learn?"

What's so hard about quantum mechanics? Isn't it very simple, Zhang Chaoyang thought to himself.

Click on the questioner's homepage to see that the students of Massachusetts State University, no wonder.

So he replied below: "Because you have not experienced the beauty of quantum mechanics, when you can experience the subtlety of the quantum mechanical system, you will feel that learning quantum mechanics is a pleasure, and I recommend you to start with ......"

"What do you think of Quora?"

"It can only be said that this is another typical Newman-style victory, fully understanding and exploring the needs of users, and meeting their needs through Internet products.

Angry Birds and Plants vs. Zombies are two games aside, because video games cater to complex needs, and they are very different from Internet products.

Under this question, I mainly talked about Quora, and by the way, I talked about NewPay and the game community.

Newman has always had the magic that he is able to recognize what the user wants. Traditional paper video game magazines just tell players what they think about each video game, and it is a single output of information.

In the pages of major forums, players spontaneously organize discussions about video games, and they are scattered in different forums, unable to form a joint force.

There is a barrier between the two, and even if there are print video game magazines that realize that the Internet is a good propaganda front, they will only mechanically move their content to the Internet, one more website.

No one has ever thought of linking the needs of the two. Riot has a need to know how good a game is, how to communicate, and how other players perceive it, and Riot has put it all together perfectly.

The same is true for NewPay, electronic payment is a demand that has always existed, but only NewPay makes the payment so simple, and the verification code is applied by Newman to the extreme.

Quora is the ultimate manifestation of Newman's acuity, and I suspect that he is the most active part of the Riot community through the question posts. Through this thought, it is possible to make a special program for answering classes.

Because everyone will have questions, and everyone will have the desire to answer questions, combined with the whole set of mechanisms such as likes, rankings, and following users, a great product has been formed.

If my problem is focused on a certain area, then I can follow the experts in that field, for example, if I have a programming or operating system problem, I can ask Dennis Ritchie, if I have a physics problem, I can ask an expert in that field.

At the same time, for some users who have contributed a lot of high-quality answers in this field, I can also follow them and see their answers first-hand.

The whole mechanic is perfect. Compared to search engines, Quora is much ahead, and his answers are the most professional and timely.

The approval mechanism can make excellent answers appear in front of you as soon as possible.

I think this is the best Internet product this year and even in the past decade, and Newman's insight into the product is worth learning from every Internet person. ”

Zhang Chaoyang was skeptical of this answer at first, but after two days of experience, he deeply agreed with this answer.

Compared to Quora, the rest of the forums are boring.

Every morning, he would swipe Quora for a while to see if there were any questions he could answer, and then see how many likes he had answered before going to bed yesterday and how many new people had followed him.

Is there any bull who pays attention to him?

Zhang Chaoyang's most active sectors are physics and the Internet.

After three days of experience, he called Gu Yongqiang over, "Yongqiang, you should study Quora carefully, and we will make a similar knowledge quiz community according to it." ”

Sohu has the title of Whampoa Military Academy in the Internet industry, and Gu Yongqiang, who later founded Youku, is the first executive of Sohu.

"Okay, I'll arrange this right away." Koo had never heard of Quora, but that didn't stop him from agreeing to it.

There are still too few entertainment methods in this era, and Quora's expansion rate is far faster than Zhou Xin imagined.

They sent a total of 30,000 verification codes, and these 30,000 verification codes can be sent to the next level of verification codes, which means that a total of up to 120,000 users can register.

Originally, Zhou Xin thought that it would take at least a month for these 120,000 users to register, which means that they had a month to precipitate content.

The most important thing in a quiz community is content.

The content stays with the user, and the mechanism allows the user to express the desire to generate content, which is a positive cycle.

As a result, in the first week, there were 80,000 users, and more than 80% of those 80,000 users log in to Quora every day.

By the second week, the number of users had exceeded 110,000.

Quora is being discussed throughout Silicon Valley.

When NewPay came out before, everyone's feelings were not deep, electronic payment is a product with a long history, but NewPay has been optimized in the original mode.

But the quiz community is a completely new product, and everyone who has experienced it knows how engaging it is.

It's like a nuclear bomb detonating at the center of the world's internet.
