Entertainment World: The Wild God of Gourmet - Chapter 618 [Fei Ge Chuan Shu VS WeChat]

On the day of "Christmas Eve", at midnight, the two major applications are open for download at the same time.

Zhalang and Penguin kept a close watch for the first time.

Different from the phone icon of WhatsApp, an app icon with two white pigeons flying across and holding an envelope in the middle of a green background is the "Flying Pigeon" logo.

The logo of Ins is the same as the overseas version.

The two apps, launched on the same day, rushed to the top three list of free apps in a short period of time, second only to the QQ mobile version of the Penguin Soul product, and the daily download list ranked first and second.

Today, when smart phones have begun to spread across the country, domestic netizens still seem to be more accustomed to using QQ on computers. Therefore, the usage rate of the mobile version of QQ is much lower than that of the client. Even so, the mobile version of QQ has always been a giant.

There were no shortage of challengers who appeared before, but they all stumbled without exception.

Now it seems that the breaker is finally about to appear?

If the popularity can be maintained, it will only be a matter of time before QQ becomes a smart terminal communication application with the download speed of "Flying Pigeon".

The only suspense, how long will it take to become number one in the overall list?

Zhang Xiaolong, the head of Penguin WeChat R&D, also downloaded the "Flying Pigeon Book" application in the first place. Prior to this, he also had a thorough understanding and research on WhatsApp, and based on China's national conditions, he created a smart terminal social software belonging to Penguin based on this inspiration.

"Small and sophisticated, focusing on communication and social networking", this was Zhang Xiaolong's first impression of WhatsApp.

From the beginning of its birth, WhatsApp has been positioned as a substitute for mobile phone text messages. As long as the mobile phone number of the other party is in the mobile phone address book, you can directly leave a message to the other party through WhatsApp.

Simplicity is the most obvious feature of WhatsApp: it does not have a complicated registration process, and users are permanently online.

At the same time, whatsapp has always adhered to its own principles. So far, it has not added features that are popular among young people, such as emoji functions, and promises to have no ads forever.

The product function is also limited to group or private chat, including voice, text, photos, video, geographic location, etc. As their corporate culture advocates: "NoAds, No, NoGimmicks" (no ads, no games, no tricks).

These elements are in line with the tempers of overseas user groups, so it can develop so much.

A few days ago, WhatsApp officials have issued a statement stating that the monthly active users of WhatsApp have exceeded 300 million.

Due to the common Latin cultural background, WhatsApp has a 90% coverage of iOS users in Latin America and Europe. At the same time, in some markets heavily influenced by Western culture, such as Hong Kong and India, WhatsApp is also one of the main IM tools used by users.

300 million users, covering Europe and the United States!

This is enough data to make any social Internet company face up to it. No wonder FB wants to acquire it as its first strategic goal.

Now that a variant of this monster is coming to China, will he still adapt to the needs of Chinese netizens?

Zhang Xiaolong is very confident that his WeChat based on China's national conditions is the most suitable instant messaging app for Chinese people. If whatsapp does not make changes to come to China, he is not afraid at all.

Click to download, "The download is fast, is the file so small?"

"Does it use a new compression algorithm, or does the app itself continue the succinctness of Whatsapp?" He guessed the latter, and became more calm.

But less than a minute after he registered, he felt cold in his heart.

Completely unexpected!

It's all free, and in front of Chinese users who don't have the habit of paying, it can be said that this biggest threshold is removed in the first time.

It is more concise and clearer than "WeChat", and conforms to the usage habits of Chinese people.

Compared with Whatsapp, it has more "circle of friends" function and public account function, which has begun to have media attributes.

Open emoji store and third-party applications...wallet function? Is this to control the user's pocket? Isn't it possible to add a gaming platform? ! Penguin makes money from games, and he knows the role of it.

The more I look at it, the more I am surprised. Unlike the Chinese version of Whatsapp he imagined, "Fei Ge Chuan Shu" is completely another open application software that combines the advantages of Whatsapp and is re-developed with China's national conditions. I’ve never heard of Chen Ergou’s team developing new software before. I didn’t expect to develop it so quickly.

Zhang Xiaolong kept surpassing the various functions of "Flying Pigeon", and then compared the WeChat he developed by himself. The more he looked at it, the more it became unpleasant. "If WeChat is listed at this time, I am afraid I will be hit and look up."

His heart was gloomy, he tried to add the phone number of his friend "Ma Huateng", and it passed quickly.

It's so late, the boss is still paying attention.

Inputting information is different from WeChat in that the sentence "The other party is typing..." does not appear. However, if the message is successfully transmitted, a small green tick will be displayed in the lower right corner of the message box. Boss Ma quickly read the information. At this time, the other party's information had become "read", and two small tick boxes appeared.

"So convenient!"

He quickly realized the advantages, "You can also see whether the other party has read your information, which greatly increases the interactivity. This is also a feature that WeChat does not have, because this is a feature of WhatsApp. As a boss, Chen Ergou can treat it with integrity. When applied to its own new software, Penguin can't imitate it too blatantly."

You can dial by one key and make video and voice calls. It can be through the Internet or through your mobile phone operator.

Each user can also customize a state that others can see. The optional states are preset, such as free, busy, at school, the battery is almost out of power, sleeping... but not leaving, Settings of QQ nature such as incognito.

This is also the characteristic of Whatsapp.

There are similar settings in QQ, but he did not join in WeChat.

Regarding this setting, they discussed it many times at the beginning, and finally they did not add the user status setting to WeChat. Now they see that the opponent has set up this function without hesitation~www.novelbuddy.com~ He starts to doubt again: also I don't know if this is good or bad.

Boss Ma quickly responded to the news, you and me, constantly testing the function of "Flying Pigeon". The two elders chatted for most of the night, which made Zhang Xiaolong's mood even worse.

It has been less than a month since the launch of WeChat, and now it is too late to revise it, and it is even more impossible to skip tickets. It was spread out that Big Penguin was scared, and his boss couldn't afford to lose this person.

Although Zhang Xiaolong is very optimistic about the prospects of WeChat, under the premise that Penguin has the soul product QQ, if WeChat fails to show its due value, Penguin will not be able to shift the focus of resources to mobile terminals.

There is another thing that he can't figure out all the time. There are so many functions, but the file size of the app is still very streamlined. They did it this way.

The same worries also appeared in the management team of Zhalang Weibo.

In contrast, the enthusiasm of domestic netizens for INS downloading is obviously higher than the "Flying Pigeon".

The market value of Ins is much smaller than whatsapp, but its popularity in the entertainment industry is not small at all. The same is a social application, so it is inevitable to compare it with Weibo.

Many people don't understand that this is just a simple app. To put it bluntly, it is a photo wall social app for people to post photos. Photos can’t be posted anywhere. You can also post on Weibo. You can also post on Facebook and Twitter in foreign countries. Why don’t you post them in other places and come here alone?

Some people even think that you must bring pictures to post on Instagram, which is not as easy to use as Zhalang Weibo. You can only send pictures in squares, which is a bit fresh.

Looking at the others, it seems nothing new.

How...

It is fire!
