This is an era of interpersonal relationships, but people need a group of animals, so people have to go online to find strangers to be friends. Whether it is a porn trading or a SMS trap, these stains have not been able to oblite the huge development potential of the online dating website. Otherwise, Yahoo, Microsoft these giants don't have to set up their own online dating sites, intended to fish in this market.
Although Yahoo, Microsoft is boss in the portal, but I believe that for the Chinese people, the "Asian Dating Center", this website and its various countries, whether from the function or from the profit level, it can be described as a representative. The highest level of current development of friends.
However, this highest level is only representative "Today", because the second-generation dating site that may affect future friends website market has appeared, and a wireless trousers have appeared in this market.
What is the second generation of dating sites? Then we need to talk about the first generation, that is, now similar to the Asian dating center. I believe that readers who have used these websites should have a general understanding of this. As a participant, you must first register your own details and enter some conditions for your dating needs. When all registrations are completed, you have become a new record in countless records of dating websites database. Since then, in addition to waiting for other users to find you unexpected, you can also search for your own intentions. In the process of searching for, you need to find a sense of intention, you need a sufficient number of people to let you search, so for the first generation of dating sites, the total number of users is extremely important, so there is no Less websites will have a promotion initiative such as a netizen to reward how many dollars.
For the user, although many websites have hundreds of thousands of users can choose, this is not equal to finding the dating objects that suits you. Because all search objects are unfamiliar for searchers, searchers can only determine if the other party can be a suitable dating object by searching the information to be registered. However, the problem is that the other party is to describe the other party, and through these texts, it is really difficult to say that the other party is coming. In fact, you can't rule out that the other party may be beautifying yourself - - In fact, this is almost the temperament of everyone.
Therefore, users of many online dating websites will find that using these dating sites, find some friends who don't have a close-time, such as writer objects, one travel partner, one night object is not difficult, but I want to find a deep step. Developed into good friends, couples, even couples - I want to find a similar way of thinking, similar words in a huge database, is really not an easy task. In terms of socialist terms, the former belongs to "Weak relations weak Ties", which requires less time and energy, and the homogeneity of both parties are relatively low; the latter is "strong relationship strong Ties", need The time and energy of investment are relatively high, and the homogeneity of both parties is also relatively high.
The emergence of the second generation of dating sites is just to make up for the weaknesses of the first generation of dating websites to find a strong relationship friend object. Before talking about the characteristics of the second generation of friends, let us first recall in real life, our good friends, lovers, etc., come from. Of course, many of them are similar to the first generation of friends' s website models, and they have met a lot of people, and then gradually discovered that some of them were talking, so they became good friends; but more often After your own friends, and you will find a friend's friend to be your own proportion of friends, you can make a lot of ratio of good friends than in strangers.
In fact, this fact of sociologists have long been relevant academic research. They found that two friends who have a strong relationship between a intermediary often become a good friend, because everyone is strong with the intermediaries, which means There is a high similarity, and the similarity of both sides connected by the intermediaries will be relatively high, and the two sides of similar similarity is relatively easy to develop into friends who are also strong. The matter of the second generation of online dating sites is to move this reality to the network, virtualization. The website replaces the role of the intermediaries and connects the two sides.
The following is www.friendster.com as an example to explain the operation mode of the second generation of online dating sites. The first step is to register, this is not much different from the first generation. But after the registration is completed, you don't mean you can search for your dating as you first-generation dating sites, because www.friendster.com does not allow you to perform direct search for the database. The next thing you need is to build your own relationship network, that is, add the people who are also www.friendster.com registered members to join your relationship network, at this time you can access the relationship between the member of the relational network. All members of the middle. This way maybe it's not very understanding, then give an example to explain. If you are user a, you add another user B in your relationship network, and both of the relationship between B, you can access C, D, E three materials. This is not only that, if there is four users of F, G, H, i in the relationship between C, you can also pass the information of F, G, H, i through ABC's connection to its relationship network. . Because you can search the object is your friend's friend, or a friend of a friend, according to the proliferative thing with a group, how many places they have similar to you - similar degree is definitely more than ordinary strangers High, such words, it will be greatly conducive to the establishment of strong relationship friends.
Of course, according to another sociological theory "six-degree division", any two people on the earth can be connected to the six personal relationships. If the second generation of dating networks allow unlimited deepening to every layer of user dating network If you go, then it is actually equal to searching for the entire database. Www.friendster.com Although there is no relevant restriction, the author believes that after the end of its beta version, it will inevitably limit the level of the relationship network, and even become the difference between different charging standards.
Because the second generation of dating sites are still a new thing, www.friendster.com or domestic Chinese www.uume.com is still in the stage of just establishing tests, no formal operation. But this doesn't hinder your use of this new dating - because this is just its biggest feature: Decide whether you can find good friends, not the total number of records of the entire database, but your personal relationship The quantity and the number of these membership networks. Even if the number of users of the second generation of dating sites is very small, they don't hinder your friends in your small circle to know other friends in the circle, and these friends have become your good friend's probability.
In fact, although the second-generation dating network is a new thing, it is actually similar to QQ, MSN, ICQ, even if the communication network is so potentially cut into this market - because they already have a very mature ready-made user relationship network, only It is necessary to add the functions such as dating materials, dating search, which need to make a search for traditional dating websites, can easily become a very mature second-generation dating network.
As the service provider of these instant messaging software, it is better to cut into the second generation model as soon as possible, and use the innate advantages to seize the high point as soon as possible.
QQ, MSN, ICQ, Yahoo Messager Who is willing to first? The author will wait and see.
