Chapter 308 Excellent opponent
"News?" Page looked at Feng Yiping and looked at Bolling again. Bolling was bowing his head and pondering at this time.
"Feng, you have to understand that news is different from general directions. Such public media information is very important,"
Feng Yiping saw that when Page said this, Brin was still lowering his head.
It is obvious that the two of them are quite cautious about the news.
He understood this.
Compared with other fields, news is indeed more sensitive.
Because Google is now close to monopolizing the entire Western search market and has hundreds of millions of users. If they crawl a news from the Internet and push it to users who may be interested in the news based on the existing data, the consequences may be serious.
For example, in some catastrophic emergencies, what consequences will be caused by a fake news? It is really hard to predict.
Even if there are no irreversible serious consequences, users' reception of fake news will undoubtedly seriously affect Google's image in the public's mind.
Although there are still problems with Google's decisions and actions, no matter what, their declaration of "not doing evil" is really not just a saying.
"I fully understand your concerns," Feng Yiping said. "So, I plan to cooperate with mainstream media and only forward their news,"
Feng Yiping also does not want his own platforms to become the source of fake news, but if it is crawled on the entire network, it will definitely not eliminate fake news. Therefore, the safest thing is to cooperate with authoritative media.
In this way, at least in terms of authenticity, it has been strictly checked.
“I think authenticity is a problem, but it’s not the biggest problem,” Bolling looked up. “We can also configure a dedicated news team to conduct a final review of all the news I didn’t capture.”
"But what I'm worried about is the issue of fairness,"
"For example, now the newspapers are full of news about next year's election, and there are even more news about candidate scandals,"
"If we push one of these to a specific user, such as his supporters, and not his competitors' scandal,"
"It's obviously unjust,"
Feng Yiping didn't know what to say, but was just forwarding the news. In addition to worrying about authenticity, they were also worried about fairness. If they were asked to acquire a print media, they would definitely not do it even if they beat him to death.
Look at Bezos, he will buy the Washington Post in a neat way.
He didn't know that yesterday, Sheng Zheng was in front of Huang Chengzhong and said that Boss Feng cherished his feathers too much. Now he wanted to say that these two people from Google really cherished their feathers too much.
“If the program decides which news should be pushed and who to whom, there should be no fairness problem,” Page said. “Designing such an algorithm should not be a problem.”
"It's just a matter of authenticity, and it still needs to be checked manually. As we push more and more news, the demand for employees in this area will become increasingly greater... Do you think our department will eventually become a professional but very traditional media company?"
Feng Yiping was about to speak, but he spoke again, "However, I think we will find solutions to these problems,"
Alas, that's right. If you are afraid of being terrified and looking forward to it, then why are you still starting a business?
"The question is, Feng, how important is this business to our future development?" he asked.
His words obviously came to the point.
If this is very important for future development, then you can naturally bear the relevant risks.
"Except we all know, this will definitely add a lot of advertising revenue to us," said Bryn.
That's absolutely certain.
Because traditional media originally rely on advertisements to live their lives. Forwarding news from traditional media is equivalent to providing another platform for those media, and naturally they can get a share of it.
"You should also know that in the future, content will be the main battlefield for all our Internet companies, and their participation in news. In essence, it will enrich our content reserves," Feng Yiping walked around this small office.
"There is another common issue, which is the issue of traffic,"
"No matter whether you can monetize it now and have more traffic, it is naturally the key to the success of an Internet company."
"If we develop similar products, the corresponding traffic will naturally increase,"
"The current hot news will undoubtedly introduce some users into our ecosystem. After that, if we use high-quality content and the functions that our products already have, we can increase the user's stickiness... we will be able to capture another group of users,"
"Buddies, news can be said to be a coverage traffic entrance, right?"
"A man can not use Google or Faebook, but he cannot not care about all the news, right?"
Page and the others nodded. For Internet companies, they will never have too many users.
Adhesive resources to lock users is the sky of the Internet. This is how it comes to connect to the economy of scope.
"Also, you think that our news products can in turn give us a better understanding of users' hobbies, right?"
"From what type of news he usually browses, we can do this easily, right?"
"So, you see, this product not only brings us new advertising revenue, but also further improves our ability to accurately place advertising,"
"There can be an interaction," Page also stood up, "that is, we can know more clearly what aspects of news our users are paying attention to, so that we can push the news he cares about in a targeted manner. This will not only not make him disgusted, but also improve his satisfaction."
"In the end, he may become accustomed to accepting news through our products, rather than finding relevant news on the newspaper, on TV, or on the website," he said.
“That is, in the future, we may all be more successful than a portal like Yahoo in terms of news.”
Alas, this guy, how obsessed with Yahoo.
"I think it is not ruled out that we will replace bigwigs like News Corporation in the future and become the largest media supplier," said Feng Yiping.
Bolling also stood up, "Just to these points, nothing to say, it must be done,"
"It is a must-do, because I think such a product is likely to become a major trend for the public to obtain information after search and socializing," said Feng Yiping.
"So, more and more companies will think of this. When we are ahead, we will naturally have a great first-mover advantage."
"Haha," Page sat behind the table. "I don't know what kind of achievements Google will achieve in this future, but I know what kind of achievements Faebook will achieve in the future,"
"Let me tell me," Feng Yiping smiled.
"This will definitely be a major expansion of Faebook's business line. Faebook now will only take over the information received by users through social means. In the future, it may completely take over all the information of users,"
Feng Yiping also sat down, "Look, this is a bad aspect of talking to you. Many times, I want to hide my intentions, but I can't hide it anyway."
Page said exactly that Faebook is doing a good job in socializing at present and will do better in the future, but it cannot make socializing a wall.
Breaking the fence and allowing the organic and harmonious integration of the beautiful scenery outside the wall and the scenery inside the wall will undoubtedly further improve their social advantages.
"So, I have a plan. I plan to have preliminary contact with the ten most influential media before the Android press conference. How about it? Are you interested? Do you want to join us?"
"Of course," said Page, "Since you're going to do it, start doing it as early as possible."
He shook his head, "Okay, I have to be busy again,"
Although it sounded like he was complaining, his face was full of excitement.
He likes such work that can have an impact on society.
"Feng," Brin looked at Feng Yiping, "Why do I always feel that at this time, you must have other purposes for talking to those media for this purpose?"
"Don't worry, it won't be targeted at you," said Feng Yiping.
The reason why he wanted to talk to those media about this before the Android press conference was that he naturally hoped to use this to prevent relevant media from attacking Android in the future.
