Chapter 183 Friendbook

During this period of time on Harvard campus, Mark Zuckerberg was undoubtedly a 'turbulent' figure at the forefront. Although basically all the news for Zuckerberg was negative. Not long ago, "

The Harvard Crimson used a comment like this to reprimand Zuckerberg for his ash behavior some time ago - pandering to the most vulgar ethos of Harvard students. However, they also vividly explained the charm of this program in the report, and

This creation ash, this programmer has no reason not to create an online portrait album.

Not long after this report was published, that is, on the day Xia Ruxuan arrived in Boston, Zuckerberg offered the domain name company one year's right to use the domain name.

He then spent a whole night modifying the social networking site. Early the next morning, Zuckerberg, who had been absent from class all morning with dark circles under his eyes, appeared in front of Xia Ruxuan and introduced him to this completely different site.

At that time, Xia Ruxuan's calm face was filled with shock.

This is undoubtedly an overhaul. Xia Ruxuan has not been exposed to the Internet world in the United States, so he does not make any comments. He just looked at Zuckerberg's childish face and introduced the new website with a bit of arrogance, "Xia Ruxuan

, I have to say that some of your ideas are very good. But they are not suitable for this site now. exus is the originator of social networks for college students."

Zuckerberg paused and presented the modified and more concise main page in front of Xia Ruxuan, "It took them six weeks to have one-tenth of the active users of Stanford University students. However, their explosive period

It didn't take long, and it started to level off after just a few weeks. Do you know why?" Zuckerberg paused, "It all started.

The services provided are too complicated. Its founder is a genius programmer. He has added all the interesting functions he can think of. In this way, the use of the website becomes much more complicated, and the user's attention is distracted.

Focusing too much on functionality makes it impossible to feel that many people are on the site with you - combining your thoughts and my test

Considering that at this stage, I have an extremely streamlined positioning of our friendbook, even if all users only need to do one thing at the beginning, which is to invite more friends. In this way, this exclusive surname will

It will be an excellent driving force for the development of the website!" ch (course matching) website, any one

Harvard students can see who has chosen a course to determine your class schedule. I added this function to frash and occupied the Harvard network storage data, so I was punished by the school. This time it is not a

Just a small recreational project, you take a look at the website first, and I will rent a server on the Internet to store our website information."

Xia Ruxuan suddenly understood the absolute gap in the development of the Internet between the two countries. In China, if there are not enough interesting gadgets and games, it will not be able to attract enough users. But at Harvard, no one will do it for a small game of "stealing vegetables from the farm".

Become a diehard of this site, when this site loses all its flashy appearance

, it is the most concise and direct thing to present in front of people. It is just a portrait album that replaces reality and focuses on the existence of personal user information. In the United States, where the Internet is more developed, it seems particularly important to have a space for digital photos to be released publicly.

Important, and this was the first wave of success at Harvard.

He did not give Zuckerberg too much restraint, but simply looked at it and agreed to Zuckerberg's proposal. This website started by Xia Ruxuan is now more and more like the mature Facebook, and

From this day on, there will be one less focus of discussion in the world named Facebook, replaced by friendbook.

Xia Ruxuan's intention to do this is not without purpose. It can avoid some big troubles. For example, the Internet term Facebook is actually owned by another website that was launched at Harvard a few months ago, and in 2008

, the founder of the site accused Zuckerberg of stealing his idea, and the company that owns the Facebook site later settled with the man for an undisclosed amount. These troubles, including the subsequent lawsuit by the twins, Xia Ruxuan

Don't want them to happen again.

That night, in dormitory h33 of Kirkland dormitory, Xia Ruxuan participated in Zuckerberg's celebration of his departure for a mere "probation". He bought back a bottle of Dom Pérignon Champagne outside and happily chatted with his neighbors.

They shared wine. At the same time, he met his roommates who would become Zuckerberg's powerful assistants.

Zuckerberg took advantage of such a moment to announce that he had joined a new work project. The neighbors were not as concerned about it as Xia Ruxuan imagined. Then he suddenly realized that this was at Harvard, in the suite of dormitory h33.

The superiority of Harvard students among the Ivy League universities was clearly demonstrated. No one paid attention to this yellow-skinned Asian boy.

What happened here may seem extraordinary in other places, but entering a new project here is as ordinary as saying "go to dinner". He is not the only entrepreneur who works hard for his career in his dormitory.

Harvard, this is something not worth mentioning, there are talented people in every hall.

Xia Ruxuan lowered his head and drank champagne, listening to them discussing one professional issue after another, silently. He knew that in a few days, Friendbook would set off a huge wave on the Harvard campus. Ash would make him infamous.

After the turmoil, this was his chance to change his public image.

During the meeting, he spent half a day completing some details of the Black Women's Association's website, and spent another seven or eight hours completing the outline of their website according to the requirements of the Winklevoss twins. After discussion,

The Winklevoss brothers changed the station's name from the original ION (Harvard connection).

But no matter which name it is, it has nothing to do with Zuckerberg. Xia Ruxuan once avoided a troublesome lawsuit for Zuckerberg according to his vision. In the past, Zuckerberg was

While participating in the twins' project and delaying the completion of the other's website, he also made his own website, which led to him being sued for plagiarizing his ideas later.

However, this time, under Xia Ruxuan's instruction, Zuckerberg simply spent a day completing a Harvard relationship that was just child's play to him. The two were not closely related in the first place. The Harvard relationship was purely for

Born out of parties, the main direction of their website plan is to allow clubs that organize events to give discounts to registered users.

The girls affected by ASH apologized.

Regardless of whether the girls accept it or not, at least such a gesture and Zuckerberg's initiative to clean up his image have slightly improved his infamous reputation at the forefront of the storm. And all of this... is just Xia Ruxuan and Zuckerberg

It was a plan made together with Xia Ruxuan, and when all the preparations were completed, it was the evening of the third day after Xia Ruxuan came to Boston.

Zuckerberg and Xia Ruxuan, who were sitting in the cafe, joined hands and pressed the link button to pay the server fee.

This day is November 30, 2003. It is an ordinary Sunday that seems to have nothing extraordinary. Such a brand new friendbook that is completely different from history has been brought forward by more than two months.

Instead of Facebook, it was officially launched. Xia Ruxuan quickly realized the "value" of Zuckerberg.

Based on his position at the forefront of Harvard and the gadgets he made that are popular throughout the Harvard campus, everyone is interested enough in the new project of this genius programming boy. This time, after causing anger in the past,

It is very important to build your own reputation. The modified Friendbook website is much higher than the original 'Friends' in China. At the same time, the website system is also essentially the same as the previous yspace website on the American Internet.

the difference.

The website with Zuckerberg's title spread quickly. Zuckerberg immediately sent a group email to all the students on the mailing list of the Kirkland dormitory. In the dormitory of 300 people, dozens of people signed up in the blink of an eye.

.

The invitation system set up inside the site made it possible for the number of registered people to reach 300 at noon the day after the site went online. It was many times faster than the spread of my friend at Sunan University who had no reputation at all.

As the manipulator behind everything, all Xia Ruxuan has to do is wait.

The name Mark Zuckerberg was destined to become the name that appeared most frequently in the Harvard Crimson during this period. On the third day after the website went online, he was once again informed that he had accepted an interview with the newspaper. This time the interview

It was published together with his apology. This is undoubtedly another advertisement for Friendbook. Zuckerberg has always maintained a sincere attitude during the interview, which also made the newspaper's use of words seem softer.

.

"To calm the storm as a gimmick, create a new round of controversy." Zuckerberg drew tables and charts of friendbook user growth data on the whiteboard in Kirkland's h33 dormitory, holding a copy of the Harvard Crimson newspaper in his hand

In the latest issue, he turned around to face Xia Ruxuan and rubbed his hands excitedly, "Such a promotional method is really great."

The data on the whiteboard shows that on the latest day, the number of new registered users on the site was 417.

"We only have ten to twelve days at Harvard, and after that... we will set our sights on other colleges and universities, trying to make the Friendbook scandal sweep across the entire Ivy League before the Christmas holiday!" Xia Ruxuan

He held his chin with both hands and said in a deep voice with a confident smile on his face.
