Second Life (Second Life) and the virtual world revolution

However, large-scale civilian access to the Internet 10 years, but has gone through a news portal, search engine, e-commerce, Web communities, and other stages. Comparing with the reality of our lives, the virtual network is set up on the Internet on the basis of all the "virtual". Blue Sky blog have always believed that the emergence of the Internet and will complete the development of human beings to subvert the traditional way of life, work, study, will lead to social ethics and moral, legal, cultural, political and economic change in the whole area. Perhaps one day, you are no longer just a body of you, your spirit, your ideas will be on the Internet to build a "You." The "you" is a virtual, but they do exist, and even the real you close the gap between virtual and reality will be filled.

Virtual World (Virtual World) does not mean virtual reality (Virtual Reality). Virtual world that is not a simple virtual reality, but the other "environment", although sometimes the reality and can not be separated. Talking about the virtual world, one has to mention the initiator of the concept and practice: Second Life (Second Life). Second Life is the world's largest virtual world of games, more than 6,000,000 registered users. Second Life is a San Francisco-based Linden Lab (Linden Lab) in 2003 launched a "cooperation, integration and openness," featuring large-scale simulation of realistic 3D online games. In this game, everyone can create their own virtual "second life", and with this in the virtual world of the others occurred in a wide range of relations and realize their own in the first life did not dream . Second Life, "from October 2005 to 10 million registered users in October 2006 to 100 million registered users, and then in June 2007 of the 6,000,000 registered users, it can be said that Second Life has been developing rapidly.

And other online games, virtual world, not secretive and supernatural monster of Warcraft, there is no robe mandarin Daoqiangjianji, some of the real world is all some years: the sale of small and big business, family and friends, met with Respectively, the subject of ridicule and hate his concubine, leisure and travel. Players can play in real life with a very different role, can create and purchase items with the ownership and sale of goods, "Second Life" users pay "a week" for their investment transactions. Linden Lab to limit themselves only to residents and businesses to provide land and tools to enable them to play to imagine, to create hands-on in the world. Most importantly, Linden Lab also provides money, players will be in "Second Life" make the virtual "Linden dollars", converted into real U.S. dollars. Second Life to make money on the most typical example is the German-Chinese female teachers Irene - Steffi Graf. In her "second life" in the incarnation of the "security bell homes" is one of the world's first virtual rely on the fortune of a millionaire investment. Graf and the "Second Life" is the investment in real estate. Linden Lab released by the end of March 2007 showed that "Second Life" has 32,000 people have positive cash flow, in which more than 800 people per month will be 1000 U.S. dollars, which is the real world of dollars.

Second Life is not a pure sense of online games, its mission and is not the role of "game", even though many people regard it as an interesting 3D online games. Second Life virtual world and also affected the popularity of the concept of a large number of organizations in the real world: South Korean President Lee Myung-bak have been used Second Life to run for president; Intel, Coca-Cola, IBM and so on a large number of the world's top 500 companies move into Second Life to carry out Virtual commodity trading ... ... But the director of the Second Life virtual world revolution is also a double-edged sword, the virtual world to subvert the traditional law of human, moral and cultural balance, leading to a virtual image of the (Avatar) individuals in the virtual world The "out of control." It is reported that the Second Life virtual world with a stroll in pornography, gambling, the atmosphere of terror: It was the second in the life experience of rape, extortion and even killed.

However, any new birth of a need to improve step by step process, represented by the Second Life virtual world is no exception. It can be said that, Second Life virtual world and will have a bright future. Also as a result of this official in the area of confidence in the global Internet leader Google has launched its own virtual world service "Google Lively". Other virtual worlds, such as the Kingdom would like to create (Novoking), HiPiHi (HiPiHi) and uWorld (by me or the world of self-World) are also in the development or testing.

As the notice said uWorld: (virtual world) to allow Internet users to experience the real world with a completely different life experience, communication, entertainment, production, exchange, learn from them, such as in the wonderful virtual world to be a rebirth of The opportunity to complete has been the dream of an ideal life ... or ... We look forward to continue to interpret the virtual world, changing our lives and give us a new "second life" experience.

From the milk powder, milk toffee to, melamine also spread to where?

Since the Sept. 12 domestic media reported Sanlu milk powder containing toxic industrial melamine additive, the quality of the products on many issues, is simply appalling to the field. Now we know that not only infants and young children eat toxic milk powder, liquid milk to drink, we are also toxic, and even rabbits have also been detected in toffee with melamine.

Melamine is not a recent incident in the case. In fact, China's food quality has never let us rest assured: They Sudan with the duck, dichlorvos increase of ham, filling expired package of moon cakes, water ... oil ... We do not know how much of the food industry or hidden rules Inside Story has not been lifted, we worry about in China, "Shi Weitian what the people"?

Sanlu incident was caused by such a major "repercussions", to a large extent thanks to the protection of local officials of the gift; the media in this process, to act as an accomplice and the naked truth discoverer of the double role.

San Lu Group in the incident came to light the first time, rather than take the initiative to take responsibility, but spent trying to bribe 3,000,000 Baidu to shield the negative news, and Yi Gunao responsibility to the dairy farmers of the body. San Lu in the milk before a long period of time has been in the domestic milk market share in the first place, the San Lu dairy farmers have a vast number of awards for it? Now the problem, it is the responsibility of someone else's! The problem of domestic brands of milk powder are the international big brand milk powder are all innocent, it also tells us that the domestic dairy industry have mixed water, which are now hidden rules.

Milk powder, milk a recalled, the illegal arrest of the dairy farmers, office manager of the San Lu, Shijiazhuang leaders leaving or being fired, the General Administration of Quality Supervision to the resignation of the head ... ... as if things are gradually resolved, but the Chinese community "Melamine" In this connection it is difficult to remove.

Finally, I wish to eat baby's mother on her mother's milk, healthy growth, so grow up to have a conscience!

Personal blog of direction: to focus, concentrate, professional

Blog have entered the Chinese 5-year history. Blog in China, and Wang Fang Xingdong to a large extent be attributed to the indefatigable efforts of the two, in particular, Fang Xingdong, known as the "father of Chinese blog." The great significance of the emergence of blog: a blog announced the arrival of the era of web 2.0. web 2.0 is the essence of the interaction is personalized. This blog is a vector of the Internet: it gives each of the spread of Internet users from the power of individuals to become a "minority media," the center. In short, your blog is your media center, you can use to record your mood, your life, your perception, your thinking ... ... As a result, the blog is the position you should write your interest , To write your areas of expertise. Only in this way, you will have its own audience, others will be long-term concern is the practice in a blog "original intention."

China blog community, but the current situation is that almost everyone has the blog (more than one lot of people, like me, have no less than 10 blog), but the vast majority of blog or become dormant blog, or to become a maker of garbage Web. In today's impetuous business community, the Internet allows you to be more impetuous. Few blog owners can keep their cool to sit down and the perseverance to write blog (traditional writer, was it not the case). In this blog impetuous great atmosphere, many people become favorites of the network (although it is open, but you Readers may only). Another Chinese blog community the status quo is that the blog lead to over-commercialization of the main blog for the sole purpose of attracting traffic (SEO) and writing. We have seen a lot of personal blog, the ads all over the place, from the Google Adsense Ali to his mother, ... ... Baidu Union, but few high-quality original article.

Doing the blog, no more than three factors. The first is curiosity, that is, on this blog interested in new things, try to think about it, this is the main blog in the early state; the second is like to share with others their own knowledge, the dissemination of the individual "thinking", written into a blog A personal interest; is the third career blog, business blog called or, more properly, that is, the blog is written in order to obtain commercial interests, that is, advertising revenue brought about by money.

The vast majority of Chinese blog is sad is that the majority of major blog impetuous mind always want to at one go, not doing a good job in the first, second two states, like the Great Leap Forward in the third step. Europe and the United States a number of well-known technology blog's main blog, such as Arianna Huffington and Michael Arrington, also of China, such as Moon-blog or keso'sblog as so high-profile, blog and generate substantial advertising revenue, not because they are good at using Google Adsense ads, and so on, but they do have a blog focused on the areas to focus on the attitude of the professional perspective in order to write High-quality articles, have a fixed audience.

So, when you think of his own blog how to make money when you do a good blog. Because no one is willing to pay a pile of worthless junk. When you are in the minds of most of the time are thinking about traffic, hits, advertising revenue, there are very few readers will think of you.

Everyone has their own ideas, everyone has their own expertise. Focus, concentrate and professional operation of your blog, the other will come.

Chinese science and technology blog: how much they can earn?

With the popularity of the concept of blog, blog technology to improve and increasingly popular, more and more Internet users to open their own blog. This is among a group of blog writing science and technology category, and can be obtained by writing to pay the blog. In that case, the general blog IT was a profit of how much should they be? Sohu IT in the near future for more than 40 domestic active blog technology to do the income of the investigation. According to the revenue model and the different characteristics of the blog, the survey of blog into three categories: blog writers (more than in the BSP has a blog, according to the article income), an independent blog (an independent domain name of the blog, and so on ad revenue ) And professional blog (part of a for-profit company blog / blog organizations, the blog author of such income on a monthly basis).

First, writers blog

The survey found that most blog writers science and technology for a number of business organizations, the blog written articles, each in the price between 200 to 500 yuan. Through this type of blog to write articles, a monthly income of up to about 1500 yuan, up nearly 10,000 yuan higher; blog independent source of income mainly depends on all types of advertising, on its earnings in the range of 10 to 50 U.S. dollars, the annual income of well-known independent blog Up to 1000 U.S. dollars; surveyed were part of the professional blog blog foreign company / organization in general have a basic monthly salary, according to the flow of advertising was based on the article or to obtain royalty fee, a monthly income of 200 to 300 dollars, on higher revenue Up to 600 U.S. dollars.

Participate in the investigation of the blog, more than 40 percent of blog writers to update the daily blog at the time from 1 to 2 hours. The frequency of updates from the blog, the blog writers will be at least a week to update a blog, on average, most of the blog will be updated weekly article 4. According to the survey, each blog writers blog and the price of its well-known professional relationship to a certain extent. In the survey, a well-known blog as a business blog to write an article available at least 500 yuan compensation, and a study of network marketing blog, write a blog for the price of 1500 yuan. And under normal circumstances, a blog article in the price of between 200 to 500 yuan.

Summary of the survey data, the average domestic blog writers are paid a monthly allowance of 1,500 yuan, "fee" revenue. Survey, there are 4 blog writers, on revenue of more than 5000 yuan, of which, a blog to the IT Sohu said its monthly revenue through the blog than higher wages.

Second, the independent blog

Independent blog for an independent domain name, but does not belong to a company blog / blog organizations. At present, to rely on WordPress, Z-Blog blog, and other independent procedures, internal emerged a large number of independent blog. Due to this type of blog popularity, flow and content of uneven quality, the income gap is very big. Sohu IT in an independent survey of blog, there are 2 independent income does not blog, blog on the general revenue in the 10 U.S. dollars to 50 dollars, the highest-paid independent blog, Google AdSense alone could achieve the 16,000 U.S. dollars (about 110,000 yuan) in annual revenue.

Google AdSense, Ali Mama, Baidu Union as an independent blog advertising the main source of income. According to statistics, more than 80% of the blog using Google AdSense ads are also more than 40% of the use of an independent blog Ali mother, and less than 20% of the independent blog use Baidu Union, more than 20% of the independent blog at the same time the use of Google AdSense ads and Ali Mother ads.

Compared with the blog writers, professional blog every day in the blog updates on the time it takes relatively short, independent investigation of the blog, in blog updates every day on time by less than 1 hour, but the frequency of updates to the independent blog Higher than the blog writer.

A well-known IT Sohu to the blog revealed that the daily cost of its 2 to 3 hours to update the blog weekly updates about 7 to 8 blog. Only through Google AdSense, will be able to achieve their monthly income of 10,000 yuan, at the same time, the topic FeedSky through advertising, sponsors and so on ad revenue. Further revealed that, FeedSky topic of the ad advertisers are concentrated in the IT industry, the availability of each 250 yuan of income, and advertising sponsors for the multi-hosting services, such as sponsors, but did not disclose the sponsor of the blog advertising prices.

Third, professional blog

Professional part of the blog for a company or for-profit organization of the blog, and its most prominent feature of professionalism. Under normal circumstances, the only blog content around a theme or a company. The blog of their monthly income of all income, it is understood that such income blog There are two cases, one a basic monthly salary, according to the level of traffic access to advertising royalty, and the other is based on the quantity and quality of the manuscript was money.

As far as who has been serving the CW (Creative Weblogging, the world's leading media company blog), blog, in 2007, earning a monthly income of up to about 260 U.S. dollars. "At that time, the flow of time will receive a monthly income of 300 U.S. dollars, the lowest time in about 200 U.S. dollars or so." The blog said, "At that time, the maximum flow of science and technology blog of a blog on the main income of up to 600 U.S. dollars. But Google has been adjusted for AdSense, adjusted income has declined. "The blog said that the day would need at least 1 hour to spend the time to update the blog every day for at least 5 blog update, the blog is updated weekly in the number 40 Or so. Another professional blog that day to update their blog just spend 15 minutes a week updating only two blog, but refused to disclose the specific amount of income and source of income.

Extension: case wage foreign blog

According to well-known foreign ReadWriteWeb blog recently the United States and more than 20 first-line survey conducted by the blog, we can see that in the United States, according to the article, each chapter of the lowest paid 10 U.S. dollars, most of the 25 U.S. dollars, up to 200 U.S. dollars higher. From single up the prices, domestic prices of the blog article is higher than that of foreign countries, foreign authors 4 hours to be completed by 3 blog, and the average weekly domestic authors only write four articles, blog at home and abroad, this has resulted in income gap .

In addition, the United States because of the price of Google AdSense than domestic prices, therefore, rely on Google AdSense blog for a living national income is much lower than the blog of foreign income.

Baidu youa.com: how many opportunities?

October 18, Baidu C2C online trading platform - youa.com Baidu online version of the operating Zhengshishangxian. Baidu, according to internal data, Baidu youa.com on line, there was more than 10,000 online members upload more than 100 million pieces of goods. Youa.com Baidu also launched a "youa.com shop in the first" plan, all Zhengshishangxian platform in the number of goods before uploading more than 100 commercial tenants have access to "youa.com the first shop," a symbol of honor .

Baidu youa.com test version of the distance Zhengshishangxian Baidu announced in October 2007 to enter the field of C2C, there was one year. In this year, Baidu has gone through youa.com secret development, investment, online matching system, and other online stage. Before that, Baidu C2C first investment in a number of cities, and then published on-line payment "to pay a hundred treasure", followed by Baidu C2C website published the names and domain names: youa.com (youa.com). Here, the blue sky blog should be pointed out that Bao and pay a hundred youa.com announced the birth of a number of cybersquatters, baidubaifubao, taobaoyoua, woyoua, youac2c, youablog, googleyoua such as a large number of domain names have been registered ( Awflasher well-known blog youablog.com a registered domain name, the blue sky blog also follow the trend of youablog.cn and googleyoua.com registered the domain name, just for fun *^__^*).

Baidu mentioned youa.com, we can not say that the C2C industry leader: Taobao network. Taobao network by Alibaba Group was founded in 2003, is now China's C2C in the field of the rule of more than 80% of the share. Taobao and its brother Bao has been paid to shape the success of China's C2C network in the area of procurement norms and guidelines, to those who later built a wall. It can be said that on Taobao Shopping Network, to pay online Po has been used to pay for the network to take root in the hearts of the family to buy. Baidu to pay a hundred and youa.com Po how to change the network owners to buy the habit of shaping their own cultural network to buy and Taobao eating into the C2C in the absolute market share of our concerns.

But the blog that the blue sky, and youa.com Baidu to pay a hundred Po in the next three years (maybe longer) is going to change the Taobao in the field of C2C's dominance. There are five reasons:

First, Taobao and pay Bao shape of C2C network has been difficult to purchase cultural subversion, the buyer will not have to give up shopping on Taobao habit;

Second, Taobao network has become the most important Alibaba Group of companies, groups of up to 5,000,000,000 yuan of cash and manpower support;

Third, many mature C2C sellers in Taobao online accumulated considerable popularity, the transfer of sales positions will no doubt give them a great loss;

Fourth, youa.com Baidu to pay a hundred and Bao security and stability remains to be seen to have reached or exceeded Taobao Bao security and payment system is still unknown;

Fifth, Baidu because of "money-only plans," the top price mechanism, the controversial business ethics, the search engine Baidu for youa.com in search of product information, "priority" will rise to criticism.

Blue Sky is expected to blog, Baidu youa.com time in the future, and will become a Paipai Tencent C2C network owners to purchase a second choice. However, any network that Taobao is the majority of the C2C network owners to buy the first option and the main battlefield, Baidu and Tencent youa.com just sit back and relax, and other sites can only act as a "non-mainstream" channels.

Baidu youa.com, some of it, Taobao also, what is it unique? "Community Search" or? Blue Sky blog does not believe that Baidu youa.com be able to use Baidu's search engine users 190,000,000 resources to open "a new chapter of the net purchase of the times!" Finally, the blue sky blog to answer the question in the title of this article: Baidu youa.com opportunities and Small, its role is still limited to a look, so that a free Taobao continued pressure to promote a C2C market in the second, the competition between the three "persons spoiler."
