"Damn, there's another instant messaging app?"
Joseph felt helpless when he saw that Huanyu Technologies had registered more than 10 million users for another instant messaging app.
Previously, he had wanted to create a new instant messaging app.
From the looks of it, it was still unknown whether or not he could even PK this scout, let alone PK him.
However …
It was not entirely a bad thing for Joseph that the app had registered more than 10 million users.
At the very least, it gave them a reference.
Although Joseph wanted to create a new instant messaging app, he felt that it would be difficult to surpass WeChat in a short period of time.
At the same time, he did not have much opinion on how to create a new instant messaging app.
Although instant messaging was easy to create, it was not easy to create a popular app based on the characteristics of smartphones.
Joseph's eyes lit up when he saw the app that allowed strangers to make friends with adults.
Although this app was relatively low-level, he had to admit that it was very attractive.
Whether it was industry elites or ordinary people, they had a great demand for this way of making friends with adults.
If Huanyu Technologies could create this model, so could they.
Hence …
Joseph and the others followed suit and launched an instant messaging app for strangers to make friends with.
Of course.
Although it was strangers making friends, he was not acquaintances socializing. At the same time, Joseph knew clearly that the future development of instant messaging would be acquaintances socializing. However, all acquaintances started as strangers. They could start with strangers socializing and when the time was right, they could switch to acquaintances socializing. This was just like the shake and shake function in WeChat. In fact, the shake and shake function was also very evil. However, such a function could become a hot spot to attract users.
It was a pity.
Joseph's idea was correct. However, there was a problem in how to turn this idea into reality.
The logic model of the app seemed simple, but it was far from that simple.
After discovering that other instant messaging apps were following the trend, the app started to upgrade rapidly, just like WeChat.
This upgrade directly added a user recommendation function.
The app would recommend a certain number of friends to the user.
Of course, this recommendation was not a random one. This recommendation was based on a series of numbers.
For example, age, hobbies, occupation, education … and so on.
This was a recommendation based on a lot of data.
Apart from that, there was another important function, which was to make recommendations based on geographical location.
If you were to be recommended to someone who was thousands of kilometers away, then you would probably be strangers forever. It would be impossible for you to communicate in real life.
But what if I recommend someone close to you?
In that case.
At this time, it became possible for strangers to make friends.
For example, they could recommend a friend who was a few kilometers or even a few hundred meters away.
He looked a little like someone from around here.
But that's not it.
The people around you will show all your friends around you, but they don't have a tendency.
If you want to ask him out, you may get him out, but most of the time you won't.
However, probing was different.
What the system recommended to you is that both of you have needs. Both of you hope to get to know each other and interact with each other.
It was even a kind of communication that went beyond friendship.
Hence …
At this time, Explorer accidentally gave birth to an incomparably unique nickname among the crowd: Patting the Divine Artifact.
"Brothers, what do you mean by patting the divine artifact?"
"What do you think?"
"It can't really be filmed, right?"
"You'll know after you try."
Everyone might not know what kind of instant communication Explorer was.
However, if the alias was added, then everyone would know the exact position of the spy.
Previously, they still needed Xie Zhang and the others to continuously promote it.
When the alias came, great.
They even saved on the promotion fee.
They didn't need to promote it. Netizens, users, and various places on the Internet spontaneously started to help them promote it.
"This software is fun."
"Haha, it turns out that Explorer can really make an appointment."
"Awesome, it's really awesome."
Although Explorer and WeChat's positioning was different.
WeChat's positioning was for acquaintances, while Explorer's positioning was for strangers.
But both of them attracted tens of thousands of users through their intrinsic attributes.
10 million registered users was just the beginning.
After the alias of Patting the Divine Artifact appeared, Explorer's registered users instantly reached 50 million, directly posing a threat to WeChat.
Hence, things became interesting.
The media began to report:
[Explorer's user registration approaches WeChat. Who is the boss of instant messaging?]
[From Explorer to Explorer, we discuss the instant messaging under the smartphone.]
[Explorer vs WeChat, who do you support?]
Did you notice a strange phenomenon?
On it, there was no MSN, no MSN, no MSN.
There was no ICQ, no ICQ, no ICQ.
Important things had to be said three times.
As for the reason?
Perhaps people were too familiar with MSN and ICQ, and no one wanted to talk about these two instant messaging platforms.
Perhaps MSN and ICQ were too dull. They were so dull that they didn't do anything after smartphones were introduced in the past few years.
Perhaps people didn't like to use MSN and ICQ anymore.
As for why they were still using them, it was because they still had this habit. But as time passed, could they still maintain this habit? Of course, no one could answer this question now because no one could predict the future. However, for many people now, especially those who had come into contact with WeChat and Explorer, they knew that the number of times they used MSN and ICQ was gradually decreasing.
It turned out that using MSN and ICQ was a must every day, several times a day.
Now, it depended on whether they were in the mood to log in or not, or if they wanted to log in.
If you asked if you would feel uncomfortable not logging in to MSN and ICQ?
Not at all.
He had to live, work, and socialize with friends. Most of his friends had already been transferred to WeChat.
They could even deal with things in real life better.
As for the netizens he added on MSN and ICQ, he didn't know or had no impression of him. What was there to talk about?
Wasn't this a waste of time?
If he really wanted to make friends, have fun, and film … he could just go online and explore. Exploring was much more direct than MSN and ICQ.
It could be said that he had already foreshadowed the decline of MSN and ICQ.
From the data on the surface, the number of people registered on MSN and ICQ did not decrease. In fact, it was increasing.
However, this was because of his previous size.
But …
With the impact of the two instant messaging platforms, MSN and ICQ did not know when they would disappear.
