Zhou Yuan know almost readme: how to build six million users of knowledge sharing community? decade ago, Zhou Yuan, a Canadian foreign company in Shanghai to write code, and most of the 'Code farmers', even though in the work of the world's most advanced areas, but the real changes in the outside world is poorly understood. 2005 Spring Festival, Zhou source in the home side of the road and others, accidentally bought a 'IT managers in the world', but to wait for the people has not come, and had been reading a magazine. Inside article about him was impressed about the many changes in the business world of the future technical variables, it also provides a logical change, part of the change mentioned in the article is done by the programmer. Zhou Yuan for the first time find yourself doing original programming is also very powerful, and himself as a programmer, but nothing so long. Thus, Zhou Yuan decided to do a bigger world found (i horse Note: know almost the beginning of the Slogan, it is 'found a bigger world') to do, he decided to quit after the New Year as a programmer, go 'IT managers in the world,' the magazine became a reporter.
That year, just listed Baidu, Kai-fu Lee went to Google, Zhou think that reporters are 'people can reach a lot of fast hardware, stand on top of the wave of people who see the trend of tumbling,' he finally got his wish. (Week source) 'found greater world' decision, but also to Zhou Yuan fate began to roll, after accumulating enough experience and knowledge, he started in the Internet trying to do something. After the first start 'Meta search' failed, he also founded a knowledge-based community know almost Answers in December 2010. Know almost three months after the founder of Innovation Works received angel investment, and a year later to get the blind lead investor invested nearly ten million US dollars. This year, know almost the 'mock object' Quora now valued 900 million dollars, while industry estimates valuations know almost reached 200 million dollars. Zhou Yuan consider themselves 'did media has done technical and record industry', combines the qualities of geeks and literati, he created such a knowledge sharing community know almost a 'choice.' Zhou think doing community to 'respect the rhythm of the community.' In the first two years on the line, we know almost by invitation system registration mode. March 2013, know almost open registration to the public. Less than a year, registered users quickly climbed from 400,000 to 6,000,000. Know almost step by step how to grow into the following week as the oral sources Share: know almost inspiration: and Apple-related stories before a reporter, I also wrote code. I'm a fan of Apple. 2007, when iPhone has just released, many people have bought, I break someone else's iPhone. Office floor, most iPhone is my crack. A few things I gave birth to the idea, let me become a 'people make things happen.' The biggest stimulus in 2008 to the United States line up to see Steve Jobs, he released Macbook Air when I was in the scene! I am very close to him, was very, very excited, feeling a kind of pilgrimage. He (Jobs) shows complete Macbook Air, a reporter joked that Steve Jobs has been alive if, within five years the iPhone and Macbook will be able to become a mainstream product, when these two products are not mainstream. Because of Apple's love, I joined apple4.us, a range of children's groups geek blog site. Beginning to share in apple4.us above Apple product-related articles, and then later, to a group of the same qualities, different types of authors, engineers, product managers, designers, writers, fashion circle, all sorts of people . apple4us undergone a sea change, most of them are beginning to discuss the issue of Apple product updates, then we began to discuss the mobile Internet has brought changes in technology and human relations, it suddenly started ductility. Dozens of people in intensive cooperation, there has been a very broad content straddling a small network. I found the way here with content generation 'IT managers in the world,' is very different, no one will pay, provided no specific topics, but they still Evans Quan. New issues are later written articles, but also to attract new users to come. In apple4us, although we did not go through specialized training, but because of something trigger, actually had so much quality content. I've just added apple4us in excitement, getting up every morning the first thing is to see there is no one to update content. Because apple4.us inspiration, I thought I could not do a large-scale, a thousand times larger apple4.us.
And as far I was (i horse Note: now know almost the founding team members) with a new way to try media scale apple4.us, made a similar apple4.us group blog N3. (I dark horse Note: Zhou said the source, N3 means New cube, refers to the new technologies, new business, new trends, three 'new' .N3 and now many technology blog patterns like, but have not yet reached week N3 source ideal product), although N3 is also very successful, the flow is less than three months over the 'IT managers in the world,' the official website, but its products do not achieve what I want. For example, I want to be a function that we can co-editor of the article, N3 would not be able to achieve. There guarantor after how much website content quality, how to make an effective flow of information together, these things do not think clearly, and ultimately we paused N3. Later, I left the 'IT managers in the world' for the first start, do a search advertising SME data analysis services company 'Meta search', but this product does not hit the trigger point, no one is willing to pay, my first venture ended in failure. After the business failed, I travel to Tibet, then go home experienced a day of anguish. Until you see the Quora, its products meet my form before, 'a thousand times apple4.us' imagination, then Quora does not offer Chinese version, one day I told Zhang Liang (know almost co-founder) sit down discussion, I say, we can do a Chinese version of Quora, business failure is not necessarily burdensome, it may as an asset, I have done before the media, technology has done, record industry, to do such a product is simply not two choice. So, I decided to venture out. Previous entrepreneurial team are more likely to trust me, they come back, and I do know almost together. Project started soon. The next morning, Zhang Liang told me that he found an angel investor. That evening I met with investors, he gave us invested 1.5 million. Know almost nothing of the 'core' is? Looking back, twitter establish the attention and social media relations are concerned, Google is using a frame defines the information search criteria. I think Quora also defines a new Internet standard, that a man can be to pay attention to the information, the information can push humans. You can also focus on people, see some information about the behavior of these people made, for example, we agree. This is a new standard, more suitable for in-depth discussion of cross-border. That is what I have imagined. Know almost the core functions will not change much because it is a standard reference Quora, the product key is 'information logical.' Information logic is to allow the user to restore the information needs of the line to the Internet. We know almost product design, simulation of the next line group of people sit together to discuss a serious problem in depth mode. Several people sit together, you can not know, but there are certain professional cosplay gurren lagann background, it should be defined around a common topic, not deviation. A person finished, you can review, modify each answer, can endorse or oppose, can thank, can comment. If a person does not comply with this default discuss the agreement, would be the point, 'does not help', 'folding' and 'Report.'
The core function is known almost, if you would like to discuss (the issue), sent to know almost up, entire communities can in some way, so that this problem has been the right answer. And put it settle down, which is a user scenario, we've been around this user scenarios in promoting products. I worked as a reporter I know that many people would like to interview you have not taken, I was very concerned about the many American Internet companies CEO and core team members themselves ran Quora to answer questions. It was the opportunity we feel strongly that we can understand its value. Such products if they can grow it, it is not only for one group and a cosplay costumes for sale profession, for the entire Internet is a very valuable contribution. It corresponds to something in the continuous generation of high-quality, injection to the entire Internet. Systematization of knowledge, high-quality information, are still present in an individual brain, far from being effectively tap and use. Know almost provided a generation, sharing and dissemination of knowledge tools, everyone's knowledge is gathered and available to the public. Do community respect the rhythm: Just do know almost useless traffic when people think all communities should irrigation should gab, Tucao. Quora product model, the part before the problem is solved. But do a community products, it is hard to act as God. That is what you can not operate it the way you want it to become.
The amount of the increase does not mean that the community grow, but lead to your unforeseen problems. The ruin is a community situation, the community is also a mess like another case, Baidu so much traffic, and know almost made a similar product, 'new knowledge', they did not do it. Blog or community groups, it is reflected in the value tekken cosplay of a very young age, after the scale is often difficult to achieve. Know almost appears, in fact, is standing another one on the way - whether through UGC produce quality content. Two key points do community, above all the core product and feature upgrades, and the second to respect the rhythm of the community. How to scale, which allows the high-quality UGC content grow up, it has been a problem. N3, when we were doing, but also a very small circle, you extend it to 1000 times and a million times, it is certainly not the way it (the content will be a serious decline in quality). The community is made up of people, they have their own circle of trust, and then as a center in operation. In a sense, what we call a community it refers composed of numerous small circle, which surrounds their good stuff and interest to communicate and exchange. 2010 know almost just on the line, we have invited more than 200 users, they know almost defined rules. It now appears that the impact which almost 200 people to know is profound. They have a lot of technology entrepreneurs, their expertise to ensure the quality of responses. Technology entrepreneurs have a sense of mission, that is someone else's problem, so bring a group of people know almost unique discussion atmosphere.
Product and user community needs to grow, in a sense, the community early, 'culture' is relatively more important. Baidu's high traffic, not necessarily a good thing, I think the community must have their own rhythm. You have to respect this rhythm, this rhythm is not necessarily that you set, you have to respect the natural growth pattern of the community. Users invite other users to come, you will find some of the industry users and groups, in which will be more active. There are two reasons, the first one is that some industries is relatively fast flow of information, so-called hot industry is not that faster flow of information industries it? Technology, the Internet, finance, and so on. There is a large field of information, such as movies, and even cars, which are updated daily amount of information is large. With the continuous increase of almost known 'demographic' popular areas will be more and more heat. For example, like finance, film, law, at the beginning may have been relatively sporadic, occasionally there are one or two questions.
But with the high interest in this field, the topic attracted a lot of users, user-generated content and then attract more users, and then precipitate out of which a good part of that. We know almost community is such a loop in the process of moving forward.
