This article will answer one by one below, the new round of shuffle games in the instant communication industry will begin!
1: What is the key to breaking the product monopoly?
2: How is the situation of group of wolves?
3: Outlook after the change?
4: What should you do now?
The first question: What is the key to breaking the product monopoly?
This first looks that Tencent's monopoly is maintained, one is the high concurrent technique, and the other is a huge user group. The technique of high mergeneration is very important, but for those who want to divide a small tasty, maybe they don't need to take all user resources, so some small service providers may not need this threshold. The threshold of high user groups is related to communication requirements caused by mutual compatibility of various instant messaging systems. We can imagine this, if CDMA, Unicom GSM cannot communicate with China Mobile's GSM network, then there may be only Chinese mobile operators, communication can't exist such barriers, instant messaging software is also the case, the barrier will inevitably lead to monopoly, Compatible with interoperability inevitably break the monopoly!
Jabber has launched their instant messaging products. In fact, what they launched is not a simple product, not to make a set of independence in the past, but are compatible with the basis of various mainstream communications products. A set of norms and standards have been launched, and it is officially submitted to the IETF organization, tried to establish an industry norms XMPP, openness and compatibility, and have been supported by many manufacturers.
Due to the presence of openness and compatibility, it is possible to integrate multiple instant messaging products on a client. Therefore, the huge users of market monopoly are no longer a high-rise barrier, which is better than a new mobile phone, as long as it is normal. Communication with other mobile phone users, then do not lose the cost of competition and other products because of its users. The instant messaging software has always been torn out of the mouth of Jabber, which has been torn out of Jabber.
The second question: How is the situation of a group of wolves? The instant messaging software in the traditional sense will have a relatively high threshold that requires both the corresponding software development from the end to the end, as well as the ability to accumulate considerable user resources, due to this threshold, resulting in long-term oligarchy It is difficult to break. But the emergence of Jabber broke this pattern. It can be compared to online games, in the original time, the official server is the only user choice, but once the original code is disclosed, the boom of the private service cannot be blocked. The two features of Jabber and the other are that private service cannot communicate data, while Jabber can effectively interoperate with mainstream communication software, data sharing. The private service is illegal, and anyone is legal by modifying the Jabber original code to build a server! In fact, due to this decrease in this threshold, the secondary development of various Jabber frameworks will become very simple. Tens of thousands will do such things in all corners of the country, and thousands of versions of instant messaging software will be It takes out the versions of different industries, different people, different interesters, and different Internet needs. It can predict this situation in comparison of the development of private service. Maybe in the future, each Internet bar may have independent instant messaging Access server. People choose different instant messaging software, just like now choose different brands of mobile phones, they no longer worry if they can communicate with friends, only care about the functionality of mobile phone itself. Now, www.anyq.net www.imu.com.cn, two fast wolves have been roaring, although the audience is different, the business direction, the operation mode is very different, but it does not agree with "interoperability, compatible The mainstream IM system "and" free build service "two flags. Among them, the ANYQ performance is more frank, and it is blindly telling users "I am Jabber's Chinese improvement version"! And provide free download for the original code. In the domestic software industry is also a rare performance of the GPL protocol. Third question: Prospect after the change.
The following trends will gradually be reflected
1: The separation of operators and client providers This is very understanding, comparing mobile communication services, now providing mobile communication services, China Mobile, China Telecom (counting a small Songtong one), China Unicom three, and providing mobile phones There are many hundred enterprises; now in the instant messaging market, providing client software and providing the server is a, QQ client can only contact the QQ system, the MSN client can only communicate with the MSN user, but this situation will be complete Change, users can choose client software, just like the mobile phone, any client software can communicate with the mainstream IM of QQ, MSN, Yahoo; but as a central user database required for the entire network. Tencent, MSN and Yahoo still play a monopoly role such as movement and Unicom, but they will gradually lose absolute control on the desktop, perhaps in the short term, they will still occupy a considerable proportion, but users have begun to have more independence. This is the most obvious tag that monopolizes is broken.
2: Instant communication service providers present the argument of monopoly and theme communities. Monopoly serves were severely diverted. Any theme community may be a owner community, perhaps a car brand community, perhaps a alumni community, and a business or agency unit, you can easily build your own instant messaging service system, and invite their community members to join, people Will start the habitual communication between "public network" and communication under the "Community Network", and communication under the "Community Network" will occupy a growing proportion, this "community network" concept is completely exceeded The concept of the current instant messaging software Working Group, its function can be customized in accordance with the subject and industry demand, its application will completely build on the server's own control server, as long as the policies and regulations do not limit this application It will seriously impact the network communication traffic of several major operators. This can be a ratio of the impact of small Songtong's mobile phone. Perhaps the community instant messaging system is not the best technology, the most powerful, the most in style, is not as strong as MSN, QQ, Yahoo, but often this simple or even a rough thing is to let members feel the most intimate of. 3: Instant messaging system will quickly present a diversified operation trend, there will be an instant messaging platform for e-commerce orders, which will have an instant messaging platform for customer relationship management, which will have instant messaging for talent recruitment and remote assessment. The platform will appear .... As long as you think, you can easily implement it. Due to the relatively simplistic platform technology implementation, various teams will customize development according to their own needs, and are applied to various community situations, and the diversified operation mode of instant messaging will become a industry trend.
4: The massive database of the oligarchy is still replacing the free open source instant messaging platform. It is unable to solve its fatal problems in a quite long, that is, the processing efficiency and data capacity is like Tencent. The oligarchy business is still a very big gap. Although their good interoperability and inexpensive construction costs can be taken in the field of community communication, diversified operations, and to provide the top four circles in the client, but basically People still need a centralized communication platform that can contain more complete user groups, at least he can store more complete and comprehensive contact information here, and can communicate with people of all kinds of people at any time, so as the oligarchy A service provider, they can still keep the retention of this piece with a huge user database. This explanation may be a bit difficult, in fact, the end of the operator is an endless ending, each instant messaging system will communicate with several mainstream IM, but there is no interoperability between the large instant messaging platform or not to provide fast interoperability. aisle. If people want to find friends across various community communication systems, they still have to rely on traditional oligarchy operators' databases, community instant messaging platforms and oligarchic instant messaging platforms.
