"Thank you very much for having so many loyal Quora users come to the Quora product launch."

"Quora can have today, and Quora is inseparable from the high-quality users of Quora, Quora is just a platform, and the high-quality content in it is created by every user."

"Behind me is a Quora logo composed of verification codes from millions of registered users of Quora, and it is because of you that Quora is possible."

The poster complained: Zhou Xin is true love for the verification code.

"Silicon Valley says I'm the best Internet product manager, and even if I'm the best Internet product manager, I can't make Quora what it is out of thin air without users."

"In the past six months, there have been many products similar to Quora launched in Silicon Valley, such as infoworld, wired, MERCURY, etc., and these products that try to replicate Quora have not been successful."

"Why? Because they don't have such good customers as Quora. ”

Ten o'clock in the morning in San Francisco is one o'clock in the morning in Yanjing.

At one o'clock in the morning, the Tianya Miscellaneous Talk section in the Tianya community is still very lively, especially the posts of the live Quora press conference.

Wu Shiqiang was at his home and watched this live post at the same time.

The live post is updated very quickly, Zhou Xin said a word, and the post was updated, and the time delay was only fifteen minutes.

After Wu Shiqiang returned to China, the work did not go smoothly.

Because now not only the Internet companies in Silicon Valley are hot, but also the Internet companies in Zhongguancun, and the entire market is not short of hot money.

Wu Shiqiang can win the favor of entrepreneurs with Zhou Xin's name, but he asks a lot of questions and does not invest in these entrepreneurs.

This caused his reputation in Zhongguancun to slowly stink, and he was even given the nickname of Wu Sanshe, which means that he had to retreat when he saw him.

Anyway, Wu Shiqiang will not invest real money.

Wu Shiqiang opened the Fox Suspicion again, and the Fox Suspicion is a knowledge question and answer community launched by Sohu, which also has a similar question: "How to evaluate Quora's first press conference?" ”

There are also people above who are updating the answer in real time, but the update in the fox is about fifteen minutes to update the answer, which needs to be constantly refreshed.

As soon as the content of the press conference on both sides is combined, you can know what the boss is talking about, Wu Shiqiang thought to himself.

There must be a gap when returning to Zhongguancun from Silicon Valley, especially the entrepreneurs I saw in Zhongguancun, and almost all of their ideas copied the business model of Ameriken.

After the launch of Quora, Sohu launched Fox Suspicion, Sina launched Xinwen, and NetEase launched Yiwen.

Even a small company called Tencent in Pengcheng has launched Goose Ask.

When Wu Shiqiang first saw Xinwen, he thought that the boss had returned to China to start a business, and when he saw the goose ask, he suspected that he had arrived at the official website of the goose farm.

At present, Fox is doing the best, with Zhang Chaoyang matchmaking, finding a group of scientists and experts in humanities and social sciences to settle in, and the quality of the community is the best.

Xinwen likes to put the news on the discussion the most, and it is also related to the format of Sina.com, and at the same time, a lot of it is full of your country? The answer to the fixed question.

As for Yi Q, the response was mediocre and no one cared.

Goose asks is much better, with the help of a large number of users on QQ, some of the above color problems have caused the popularity to remain high.

After Zhou Xin learned from Wu Shiqiang, he thought to himself, you have all taken so many names, why is there no one named Zhihu?

The most projects that Wu Shiqiang has seen in his office during this time are also copying Quora, and we can achieve profitability immediately when the regulatory requirements for electronic payments are relaxed.

Riot Games' business format is not only unworkable in China, not only because piracy is rampant and there is a lack of regulation, but also because China's current productivity and per capita disposable income do not support the birth of a large number of legitimate users.

Even if it is shipped to China, it is downloaded by one person and then shared to major online forums.

So no Internet company has ever thought of carrying the form of a fist.

As for NewPay, regulation is not allowed, and regulation is liberalized, and it is not something that ordinary entrepreneurs can play.

Only Quora was caught by Chinese entrepreneurs.

A group of entrepreneurs came to Wu Shiqiang with a plan, and there is no PPT entrepreneurship yet, and PPT entrepreneurship has to wait until the mobile Internet becomes popular.

The arguments are all the same, we have set up the website, and when the funds on your side are in place, we will immediately take the funds to invite academic experts, sociologists, and then use them to attract college students, and finally ordinary users.

This is the gameplay of Fox Suspicion, the product draws on Quora, and the playing style draws on Fox Suspicion.

Later, Wu Shiqiang didn't let the entrepreneur see him, so he went to find an entrepreneurial project.

At this time, Tencent behind Goose Ask successfully attracted Wu Shiqiang's attention by relying on the rapidly increasing number of users.

After he went to the Yanjing Internet café for a while, he found that almost everyone who used the Internet was using QQ under the name of Goose Factory.

This quickly piqued Mr. Wu's interest, and he had already reached out to Tencent and bought a ticket for Wednesday.

As for why the entrepreneurs in Zhongguancun believe that the controller behind the emerging investment is Zhou Xin? In this era when there is no enterprise to check.

This is because Zhou Xin's Quora personal homepage is written in Chinese about the founder of Xinxing Investment.

Coupled with the photo of him and Zhou Xin in Wu Shiqiang's office, the combination of the two is the most powerful evidence.

Back at the San Francisco press conference, Zhou Xin continued: "After the news came out that I was going to sell Quora, the private message column of my Quora account was about to explode.

Originally, I could receive tens of thousands of messages every day, but in the days after the news was made public, I had 50,000 messages a day.

Most of them are Quora users telling me how much they like Quora and dissuading me not to sell it.

Instead of a large company running Quora, they only seek to make a profit and never consider the feelings of users.

Now Jerry and Bill are offstage, Bill, Jerry, I'm sure you can't be right, right? ”

The camera was given to two people at the same time, and two big faces appeared on the screen behind Zhou Xin.

Yang Zhiyuan thought to himself, he didn't say that there was such a link.

He and Bill nodded awkwardly.

Zhou Xin continued: "Look, they promised, and we have 12,000 Quora users on the scene to testify.

Okay, no kidding, it's your business what you do after you sell, and I won't and don't have the right to interfere.

When I saw so many people keeping me, I said to myself in my heart: "Brother, I think you are probably doing a good job, so many people want you to stay."

But there is an end to a journey, and there are only a limited number of days I can spend with Quora.

In my hands, Quora has reached a bottleneck, and it is difficult to break through this bottleneck with my own efforts.

I believe that both Yahoo and Microsoft can better build on what I have built to help Quora break through this bottleneck. ”

There was a lot of whispering in the audience.

Zhou continued, "But before I leave, I need to release the last feature of Quora, the last feature that I developed.

I've been wondering, what is Quora, and I now realize that Quora is a medium, and everyone can be a medium on Quora.

Your answer is spreading the word to all the people who follow you and who will see your answer.

Compared to online communities, Quora increases stickiness among users.

If you have a hundred followers, you're a campus newspaper; If you have a thousand followers, you're a town-local media; If you have 10,000 followers, you can influence a smaller city; What if it's a hundred thousand, a million, or even ten million?

By the time you have 10 million followers, I'm sure you'll be as influential as the New York Times.

So since Quora lets users be media, why doesn't Quora make its own media?

That's why we've launched Quora Gold! ”

This is similar to the combination of Zhihu Daily and Zhihu Yanxuan, and the Ameriken people can better understand gold panning, so they use Jinxuan.

Salt selection foreigners can't produce this artistic conception.

Zhou Xin paced on stage: "Quora Golden Selection releases an issue every three days, and it will gather the answers with the highest number of likes on Quora in these three days.

Different responses to the same question will not be selected repeatedly.

For example, if question A has two answers, and the second-ranked answer has a higher number of likes than the first-ranked answer in question B, we still won't choose the second-ranked answer in question A.

The entire Quora Gold Selection consists of 20 responses, which we tested internally, which is roughly the amount of content in a New York Times book.

The 16 responses are sorted by number of likeminds and questions are not duplicated, and 4 of them are generated according to your preferences.

We have developed the latest recommendation algorithm, which will calculate the questions you are most interested in based on your browsing and your likes, and then select the answers with the most likes to push to you. ”

Robin Li is indeed a top talent with an extremely in-depth study of search engines.

Recommendation algorithms are not unusual, dating back to 1992.

At that time, Xerox's Para Alto Research Center proposed a recommendation system based on collaborative filtering algorithms and used it for spam filtering. This is the earliest recommendation algorithm.

But it wasn't until 2003 that Amazon began to use the recommendation algorithm to try to recommend products that users might like to him.

Zhou Xin just proposed this concept with Robin Li, and roughly talked about his understanding, Baidu completed a commercially available recommendation algorithm in just three months, and applied it to Quora Jinxuan.

After Zhou Xin mentioned Quora Gold Selection, the screen behind it also changed from Quora to Quora Selection.

Zhou Xin continued: "The price of each copy of the New York Times is $0.75, and the price of the New York Times on Sunday is $1.5.

Quora is a monthly subscription, you can buy it on a monthly basis, and after purchasing, Quora Gold Selection content will be sent to you regularly through the email address you entered when you made the purchase.

Our pricing is $7 a month, which is slightly less than the price of 10 copies of the New York Times.

At the same time, Quora will officially take 30% of the money that users subscribe to Quora Gold Selection.

The remaining 70 percent is distributed to each user who answers according to the content contribution.

For example, this month, Quora Gold selected 10 issues, with a total of 200 answers, of which 160 are fixed answers, which all users will see.

Then these users will receive 0.5% from 70% of the sales fee of Quora Gold Selection for that month.

One answer is 0.5%, and 40 flexible answers will enjoy the corresponding revenue according to the number of viewers. ”

Engaged in Quora Golden Selection, further improved the electronic payment ecology, and the monthly subscription system and automatic deduction were all rectified.

Or ask for a monthly pass at the end of the month! Some give crows to it, crows want a monthly pass!
