Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 107 [Hurley’s Mail]

But it's domestic.

With the introduction of the streaming media online video site by Bluestar Technology, the industry has awakened again, so can the Internet still be played like this?

As a result, domestic related video businesses have gathered and established projects, such as Baidu Video, PPS Video, LeTV Video, Youku Video, and Tudou Video.

Just follow the template of Bluestar Technology, especially its overseas version of the BV video network's speeding popularity, making the industry realize that the next burst of Internet traffic harvesting is online video services.

Everyone is rushing in now, but the online streaming video business is a money-burning hole. It is easy to get financing now, but over time, huge operating costs, follow-up startups that can raise money are basically very difficult .

Doing the streaming video business is basically able to survive, and if you want to get a firm foundation, you must either be relied on by a large company or be able to obtain capital for the long-term financing and burn money.

Nowadays, Bluestar Technology is moving towards another myth on the road of [always imitated, never surpassed]. The industry is amazed by Luo Sheng's keen sense of smell in the Internet field, which makes him always one step faster than others to seize the most powerful The tuyere, thus creating a super hot style.

Many people began to admire, envy and hate from the very beginning.

Because he can always find opportunities that others can't find, or seize the opportunity before others, not accept it.

However, for online video business, it is not a problem to follow the Bluestar Technology template. Research on the content marketing model of the BV explosion can also be imitated, but one thing is not so easy to imitate.

That is the leading streaming media technology.

If the technical level of Bluestar Technology is not reached, it can only be imitation of inferior technology. In the end, users will flow to Bluestar Technology.

The streaming media technology of Bluestar Technology can achieve the smoothest HD video playback in the industry under the current limited broadband speed.

In the case of the same bit rate, the quality of the video is the highest in the industry; when the video is of the same quality, the bit rate of the video is the lowest in the industry.

This alone has opened a clear gap with the industry peers. This gap is at least three years ahead. It can be seen that whether a good opportunity and a new outlet can be captured after being tapped depends on the core in the end. technology.

Even if it is not the innovator of the model and the first-place preemptor, if it is technologically advanced, it may be behind.

Leading core technology and innovation, under such two-wheel drive, make Bluestar Technology a leader in the industry, far ahead and widening the gap.

At the end of November, a phenomenal online game was officially released in North America and other regions, and it was "World of Warcraft" under Blizzard Entertainment.

Many related game videos appeared on the BV video website. Game companies such as Blizzard saw the potential of this video website and not only took the initiative to upload some promotional videos to the website, but also allowed all users to upload any related videos.

Other game companies are also gradually following up, which is obviously a good publicity position, and it also makes many entertainment media companies extremely entangled.

And now, the company’s previous $150 million video reward program has ended 20 days early, because all the money has been rewarded. That period can be said to be the peak period of video skyrocketing. In just over a month, users are in BluestarVideo video More than 50+ million original videos have been uploaded on the website.

Now there is no reward plan, but the trend has been pulled up. Now every day, every moment, users continue to upload new video content to share on the website.

Although there is no more money for posting videos now, there is still a chance to earn money through advertising sharing revenue through the advertising network, but the premise is that the video content is sufficiently popular.

As the number of user visits continues to soar, coupled with the explosive growth of new video content on the website, the soaring volume has also brought about the quality of the content to be further uneven.

In fact, it must be admitted that behind the bright and glorious data of the website, what cannot be covered is that more than 80% of the video content is very boring, that is, the quality is too low and users do not like spam.

During the period from the end of November to the beginning of December, Chad Hulli, the head of the BV video project, had more frequent email exchanges with Luo Sheng than usual.

Of course, this is an independent email within Bluestar Technology. Bluestar Technology has released its own Email system since last year. However, not many people use it. Relatively speaking, it is relatively small. The company has not increased its promotion. The e-mail service of companies such as Yahoo is ahead.

Because of the time difference between the two places, there is always one hemisphere at night. Email communication is the best way to communicate, and the best way to communicate between the two places.

Today, Luo Sheng came to the office of Bluestar Technology, went to his office and turned on his work computer to check emails.

He now only takes care of the development of overseas business every day. On average, he processes and responds to 35 emails a day, including Reddit anonymous forum, international version of BlueSpace social networking site, MusicSpace music store, BluestarVideo online video and other operating team emails, including Emails from senior management in Europe and North America, etc.

So many things have to be handled in an orderly manner, and only Luo Sheng with the super-powerful operating speed of the "16-core brain" can do it well and seem extremely relaxed. If it is changed, it is a pot of mud in the mind of others. But Luo Sheng's brain is always extremely clear.

I clicked on Chad Hurley's email and scanned it roughly.

Mr. Chairman (Mr. Chairman)

Now our BV project team has rapidly expanded to 300 people. The development of the BV project has made the whole team extremely excited. The current focus of the team is to help video users actively provide the video content they want to watch in a large amount of content, thereby improving their Service experience and improve their satisfaction. Nowadays, up to 70% of the videos watched by users of BV websites come from recommended videos.

On November 27th, we launched a new version of the BV website and updated the algorithm mechanism. In early November, our operation team conducted a lot of data analysis. We paid attention to and finally discovered the number of times users watched the video. It cannot truly reflect whether the recommended video content meets the real needs of users.

Therefore, during this period of time, our team focused on lagging the [views] of a video. We decided to focus on the user’s [viewing time]. On November 27th, we updated the code, although this caused users The average number of views dropped by about 26% in a day, but the viewing time increased from an average of 115 seconds to 145.7 seconds.

Up to now, the total daily video viewing time of users on BV websites has reached 29.5 million hours, from [views] to [viewing time]. Obviously, we believe that BV video sites should pay more attention to user viscosity, and It is the content that users may be interested in.

Oh, by the way, I can’t wait to share with you BOSS. Yesterday a Google engineer joined our team. It is Jason, the developer responsible for the GoogleVideo project. He complained to us. :

"The video quality of GV is actually much higher than that of BV, and the video quality on the BV website is very low, just like Sansha. Who would watch this? Well, it turns out that the whole world wants to watch it. The improvement of the GV project But Schmidt and Page were dissatisfied. John Pisitello, GV’s product manager, has already resigned at the speed of light."

Haha, I swear that I am absolutely not gloating. We are all sad about John being fired, but if he is willing to join our team, I think we will welcome him very much.

Luo Sheng couldn't help being amused when he saw this place. Chad Hurley was also very funny, and he felt this way when he first met.

As for the sarcasm of competitors, this kind of thing is something we love to see at home and abroad. Little does it know that Apple’s Joe gang leader and Microsoft’s Gates have been torn from the last century to the present.

Besides, John was the first to mock.

Recently, Google realized that they had made a stupid decision to remove videos from BV sites from Google search, and they have quietly recovered now, covering their faces and being beaten...

Although Google still feels that those videos are as worthless as dross, it is not the case. No matter how they are placed there, they have search value.

After John Pisitello was fired in a flash, the new coach went into battle and decided to put down his body to learn the bluestar technology ideas and take the lead in ease of use.

Why study Bluestar Technology?Because users need to know the codec of the video and the size of the video frame when using GV video before this.

In contrast, when using BV video, the video is all in Flash. If you want to upload the video to the website, you don't need the uploader to know the video codec or the size of the video frame, just one-click upload.
