Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 939 Web 2.0 and Search Engines

……

As a "riding (harmonious) wall faction", the richest man naturally supports those politicians who can take care of their own interests to come to power, rather than considering any party position.

I have to say that Jerry Brown, an old friend, really takes the opportunity. Not only does he take the opportunity to run for the Democratic Party to be the governor of California, and he gets Olympic aid, but he also helps the richest man get rid of his heart problems by getting the best of both worlds.

After all, he is also afraid that California, the base camp, will make a 180-degree turn in the attitude of Zheru Software Company's monopoly case because of the change of governor.

At this time, a candidate for governor who has already stated his position will undoubtedly save a lot of suspicion.

Another thing that made Tang Huan feel relieved was that David Boyce had a great way to delay the trial date of the United States of America v. Zheru Software Company monopoly case, avoiding the excitement of Zheru Spring Developers Conference At the same time, it is embarrassing to be busy with litigation.

Every year, the Zheru Spring Developers Conference is very important to the industry, and this year has another special meaning for the development of the Internet.

Gein, in Tang IT's speech at the opening ceremony, compared with the official introduction of World_Wide_Web on the Internet in 1990, he proposed a further concept of Web 2.0.

"The current magnificence of the development of the World Wide Web is obvious to all! Exciting new applications and new websites are emerging at an astonishing speed."

"I don't know if people will ask as curiously as they did a few years ago - how many websites and how many pages are there on the World Wide Web?"

Speaking of this, Mr. Richest Man shrugged, "I, who was praised as omniscient, don't know the answer now. If investors insist on forcing me to come up with a statement, then I can only tell him ——There are already hundreds of millions of pages on the World Wide Web, so many users have to use the emerging tool of "search engine" to retrieve the information they want from the explosively growing ocean of information."

Amidst the laughter, Tang IT waved his hand, "At this Zheru Developers Conference, 'search engine' will be a very important topic, and there is a special time for discussion, so we still say that hundreds of millions of World Wide Web pages."

The richest man looked around the audience and asked seriously: "Do you know how these hundreds of millions of web pages come from?"

There was a burst of more lively laughter from the audience, and they responded one after another—it’s not a question, it was made by programmers and artists.

Tang Huan, who walked to the side of the stage to interact with the crowd, pointed solemnly at a young man in his 20s in the front row who was thinking, "You didn't laugh, that's good! Would you like to answer?"

"I'm Evan Williams of O'Reilly Media." The man wisely took advantage of this great opportunity, advertised and introduced himself, and then replied with the same seriousness: "I I feel that the reason why Tang asked this question must be full of deep meaning, but now I can only think of it—these web pages are all made by the website.”

"Thank you." The richest man smiled and nodded, "Actually, this is what I want to confirm with everyone."

"In other words, the application mode of the Web at this stage is that the website acts as a content producer and produces web pages; while the user acts as a consumer and obtains information through a browser."

At this time, Tang Huan, who had returned to the center of the stage, began to release his personal charm, "Everyone knows that the personal computer industrial revolution has broken the pattern of monopolizing the right to use computers by the state machine and large enterprises, and now everyone can use computers. This is a tool that condenses the crystallization of countless human wisdom."

"And what about the World Wide Web, which almost everyone knows about right now?"

"My opinion is that the World Wide Web has further popularized this precious freedom and equality, broken the traditional information barriers, and allowed every ordinary person to freely obtain information without being limited by objective conditions. Knowledge."

"However, I think we can do better and go further on the point of 'equality'!" Mr. the richest man pressed the button of the laser pointer in his hand, and said loudly: "This is today, and I want to make progress at the moment." On the basis of the existing Web, an upgraded concept——Web 2.0 is proposed.”

Tang Huan pointed to the huge projection screen, "Under this concept, users are not only unilateral content consumers in the traditional sense, but also two-way content producers—in this way, 'resource equality' on the Internet will be achieved. a further manifestation."

"In order to vividly explain the concept of Web 2.0, I would like to take the popular P[-]P network as an example-every node on the network can not only download the data it wants from other nodes, but also peer-to-peer. Provide other nodes with the data needed by others in a timely manner, thereby achieving a huge increase in data transmission speed and achieving the goal of win-win in one fell swoop.”

"Similar to this, on the Internet of Web 2.0, every user is no longer a passive receiver of information, but an active participant; author, user, disseminator!"

"In this way, the Internet will become a truly cyclical organism, and thus have a broader perspective than what we have seen so far."

Amid the warm applause, Tang Huan walked to the table where the computer was placed, "Let me give you another example of Web2.0. service. It is completely different from the personal website service that everyone is familiar with at present, and there is no need to use additional FTP tools for uploading web pages, which is almost the same as the usual operation of word processing software.”

"Everyone knows-I have some product experience care at AOL, and this blog is the same."

"Now, I will put the speech I just made on the blog; everyone can visit later and leave a message."

"This is a typical example of Web 2.0 - some of the assumptions are not completely new; but the realization of the technical architecture can be called completely new."

"For this reason, Zheru and Zheru Software have specially designed a new two-way protocol for Internet communication to support Representational_State_Transfer—Representative State Transfer, or REST; Simple_Object_Access_Protocol—Simple Object Access Protocol, that is, SOAP and other Web services."

"In short, on this architecture, anyone can implement Web 2.0 applications including blogs."

"As for more specific technologies, we will discuss them later during the special session of the conference."

……

The brand-new upgrade concept - Web 2.0 proposed by Mr. Richest Man at the opening ceremony of the Philosopher Developers Conference, not only had an impact in the industry, but also shocked a wider range of attention outside the IT professional media.

You must know that AOL Time Warner Turner, a giant spanning the three major fields of media, entertainment, and the Internet, after its establishment, not only made its peers fearful, but also aroused a thousand waves of all kinds of efforts to do their best. Possibly deep thinking.

After all, the social elites still haven't quite figured out how to correctly and systematically understand and use the brand-new technological tool of the World Wide Web.

Compared with their cognition system of the World Wide Web that is forming, Tang Huan is leading his IT kingdom in the right direction from the perspective of "experienced people" at a glance!
……

The "Wall Street Journal" analyzed it in the next day - Tang, who was trapped by monopoly lawsuits, not only did not hesitate, but decisively rushed to the next commanding height of the industry, launching a set of technical solutions that could affect the entire industry .

The concept of Web2.0 has different meanings for different people.

In the eyes of technology researchers, Web 2.0 may mean the rise of new social software such as blogs;
From the perspective of users of new social tools such as blogs, Web 2.0 provides a more convenient interaction mechanism between people;
In the eyes of venture capital, Web2.0 represents new business opportunities and industry game rules.

This is especially important!
You must know that the most mature value expression of the Internet at present is advertising.

But the current form of network marketing is nothing more than several methods such as sending by email, browser pop-up windows, and Web page banner advertisements.

The most common profit point of the website is to sell the advertising space on its webpage for a price, and then charge the fee according to the click-through rate or the length of time after the advertiser comes to the door-this has given birth to the so-called "Traffic is king" Internet business theory.

But the disadvantage of this model is also obvious, that is, advertisers can never know whether the advertisements placed on the website have really reached the target customers, or whether they are just looking for one or two poor ones who really have needs in the vast Internet ocean. consumers.

Web 2.0 has opened up a new world for marketers and has brought content changes in at least three aspects, that is: an innovative media form, a centralized community environment, and a brand-new marketing concept.

If people still can't accurately grasp the meaning of Web2.0, they may wish to pay attention to the various changes brought about by this specific new application mode of blog.

……

CNN praised in admiration - Web 2.0 has opened a window for the integration of media and the Internet, with infinitely beautiful scenery outside.The Internet will enter a people-oriented era from a computer-oriented era.

The implication is that the AOL Time Warner-Turner merger shows off how it responds to the times and is wise and great.

……

All in all, the outside world's hot discussion on Tang Huan's Web2.0 is tantamount to fueling the already high fever of the Internet, giving entrepreneurs and venture capitalists an absolute reason to devote themselves to it.

At the same time, Zheru software company, which has been constantly innovating, was held by the Ministry of Justice and 20 federal states in the name of monopoly, which also won more sympathy.

You know, in the past few years, tens of billions of dollars of mergers and acquisitions in the United States have come one after another. It can be said that large companies have fully confirmed what is called the "Matthew Effect" and have become stronger and stronger. However, the review agencies of the federal government are almost Green light all the way.

In this context, Zheru Software Company has been in constant trouble, which seems to have a hint of conspiracy.

But no matter what, the capital market has made the most true reflection—the stock price of Zhiru Software, which is preparing for a new round of stock splits, has soared, and its market value has exceeded 4500 billion US dollars, and the sword is approaching the 5000 billion US dollar mark. The rankings dominate the crowd; while the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Standard & Poor's 500 Index, and Nasdaq Composite Index also rose strongly across the board.

I have to say, this is the appeal of Mr. Richest Man!This is the value of Zheru Spring Developers Conference!Even Thomas Penfield Jackson, presiding judge of the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, had to get out of the way to postpone the trial date for the United States v. Philosophy Monopoly case.

……

In fact, Web 2.0 also means a change in the rules of the game in the industry, and Tang Huan is quietly leading his IT kingdom to transform quietly.

Take the most specific and lowest-level programming implementation, Extensible_Markup_Language——Extensible Markup Language, that is, the status of XML has become more important than ever.It has become a necessary means for linear data transmission to penetrate network protocols, routers, firewalls and other barriers.

Tang Huan, in addition to presiding over the Web2.0 framework discussion theme in this Zheru Spring Developers Conference, also has another content, which is to introduce the new generation of Internet search engine technology.

The development track of Internet search engines is not brought about by the dominance of Google in the original time and space. It is the misunderstanding of the founder. At this stage, search engines are like browsers. The competition between websites is the most prominent and intense.

Take the number one Yahoo as an example, its original intention was to organize access resources on the Internet and provide them to viewers for easy access.

The "Yahoo Directory" maintained by Jerry Yang and David Ferro, when the number of clicks exceeded 100 million, the commercial value was reflected, so that the two gave up pursuing a doctorate and devoted themselves to entrepreneurship.

One of the disadvantages of the prototype search engine represented by the "Yahoo Directory" is that the inclusion and update of the website must be maintained manually. This is why Jerry Yang and David Filo had to choose between studies and entrepreneurship root cause.

Obviously, on the World Wide Web, where there are so many contents, providing users with resource access and indexing services must rely on automatic program execution to be realistic; and the development of search engines is still in its infancy.

The richest man launched his own search engine, just like IBM took the lead in making spreadsheet software and personal computers more than ten years ago, and did not give those entrepreneurs who came out to raise funds with a mathematical algorithm room to play.

I don't know if Google in the original time and space, or a similar existence, can still take the lead under such pressure!
