In the Internet industry, it is clear that the instant messaging application field is a "winner all in" market, because this kind of application has a strong social network effect, that is, users will invite friends and family to use an application together.
So, to be fair, in an unpredictable market like instant messaging, companies that adopt conservative development strategies are generally very risky, and WhatsApp is not without criticism. Some people criticize it as too simple, lack of innovation, and don't pay attention to popular trends.
After all, with the popularity of smart phones, almost all software can receive and send information and e-mail at present, but in the view of Watson and Andy, the real challenge lies in how to achieve more functions without making the product more complex.
Some users have also asked Watson to launch desktop version and user name login system, but software engineers from Andy to Watson have always focused on the practicality, ease of use and service quality of the application.
And every time WhatsApp launches a new feature, it will definitely undergo intense internal discussion and get the maximum simplification. In this case, it's Andy's intention. According to Burke's theorem, the best ideas and decisions can only be made in the debate.
"I am not quite sure of the real value of withdrawing the message and burning it after reading it. Yes, teenagers may like this function, but I don't care. I'm 42 years old. I'm not looking for sex through these services, but I'll send my wife an instant message saying "I love you" and she'll send me pictures of our children, because these are memories.
I can also understand that the withdrawal message is worried that the wrong sending can be saved. When I don't know whether the behavior of burning after reading can bring close relationship to users, maybe this is a very popular trend. However, we also have romantic stories, such as people who have gone through the test of long-distance love and finally entered the marriage hall, and the whole process of the story has been recorded, which can not be done after reading. It should be noted that people like to aftertaste chat records, because this is a permanent witness of the relationship between the two sides! "
In the conference room, Acton, the chief software architecture engineer, looked around the conference room for a week with a frown on his brow, and then his eyes stopped on the face of the big boss who proposed new functions, and put forward his own opinions and doubts.
"The permanent witness you said is also the reason why the official intelligence agencies are very interested in our users' chat records, which is the main reason why the U.S. government requires us to provide access to the server!"
CEO Bryan smiled and looked at Acton with sharp eyes. He said in a rather helpless tone.
"Damn it, let them go to hell!" When Acton heard this, he was a bit angry and scolded that they all valued the protection of users' privacy data, because everyone knew that once the cooperation with intelligence agencies was exposed, it would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to the enterprise.
"Let them die, never agree to give them access to the server, that will destroy all of us!"
"Yes, absolutely not!"
The executives in the conference room were furious. It seems that there was a surprising consensus on this issue. However, all the people in the room knew that the reason why they dared to make such a noise was that they had their own boss's endorsement. If the government had to, they could not wring the power of American politics.
"Ha ha, why do you all look at me?" Andy looked at his subordinates with a smile on his face. He couldn't help but stop the signing pen on his finger. After a smile, he turned to CEO Brian and said, "I know you're having a headache. My attitude is that only when required by the law, can I submit relevant data to them.
We will not actively share any personal information with the partners of the government's Qing newspaper. We do not allow us government departments to directly access our servers, or use men to access our data center. Everything is subject to the law! "
"Good boss, I know how to recover them." CEO Brian is also relieved. To tell you the truth, he is really worried about his boss's bullying the Qing newspaper department. Although the boss is not afraid to offend these guys, after all, he is working against the US government, so it's hard to avoid wearing small shoes. Let alone that they are a new company. Even Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, youtube and apple are all right about that Some people are open to collecting information.
Andy will not be foolishly against Meifu. After all, this kind of thing is almost an open secret in the IT industry. The vast majority of IT enterprises will choose to cooperate with them. In return, the leaders of these companies will be able to get information from the Department of Qing newspaper and understand the current focus of the Department.
In other cases, for information security threats that may be detrimental to performance, the partner company will be given a rapid early warning of serious Internet attacks and who is behind them.
The most typical example Andy learned was that Google had been hacked. Sergei brin obtained highly confidential information from the Qing news agency of the United States, so as to know the source of the attack. At that time, brin obtained the temporary authorization of confidential information and was able to understand the relevant situation."Look, so it's useful to burn after reading." Andy said to the people in the conference room with a relaxed smile.
"Ha ha."
"Don't make fun of the boss, the backstage data will still be saved, unless we really use data self destruction technology."
"Yes, I also think that burning after reading is just a gimmick, but information withdrawal can be added after the next version update. Sometimes the wrong information is sent, which is really a terrible thing..."
"Ha ha..."
Everyone laughs. It seems that all the people in the room have had similar experiences. Andy shakes his head and laughs. He thinks quickly. He is also a little prepared for the function of burning after reading. After all, although the function is very good, it may not really be suitable for Watson, who wants to make instant messaging software with high popularity. This function is more capable It is certain that they will win the favor of young people.
However, Andy didn't want to make wasp into a magic weapon of Jox. He really couldn't. He started a new company with this idea, and then he used it to raise money to play...
"In this case, take one minute information withdrawal as the main function service of the next version upgrade. After reading it, burn it and put it on hold. However, keep it confidential." The smile on Andy's face disappeared. He said seriously. Although everyone has signed the confidentiality agreement, he would like to reiterate that he doesn't want to let the idea slip. Even though the technology has been patented, after all, there are so many smart people in the world. Maybe someone will use it to invent some new technology, such as flash, flash and so on 。
"By the way, are there any new developments in video calling technology?"
"Progress is slow, boss, Internet video calling is a kind of Internet video application with the most restrictive conditions, the most demanding and the most difficult to realize.
Because video calls are concentrated on the mobile end, the computational complexity of the system is required to be as low as possible.
However, video call is a highly real-time application, which determines that the video data is generally transmitted in an unreliable way, which requires that the video transmission has the characteristics of anti crash and anti crash, that is, robust, such as anti packet loss. In addition, because there is no buffer mechanism, the video transmission rate should be as stable as possible. This cannot be solved by ourselves. We need to upgrade the external hardware.
There is also the need for users to use the 3G mobile network, and people will be more sensitive to traffic, so the video call bandwidth occupation should be as low as possible.
In addition, for example, the network status and device performance of users vary greatly, so wechat video calls need to adapt to different networks and devices. There is a certain period of user version update, and the compatibility of new technology with the old version needs to be considered. In addition, the bandwidth cost pressure caused by massive concurrent users on the server side must also be considered.
To sum up, it is the difficulty and dilemma that the video call function is facing now, that is, in a short period of one or two years, the video call function can be made, but the effect will not be very good! "
Although Andy is a little helpless to hear these questions, he is not disappointed. After all, it's not the incompetence of his subordinates, but the conditions are not allowed!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
