The alumni book is a circle, the blog is a circle, and the bean petal network is a circle. Under the influence of web2. 0, “circle” is no longer a term for distinguishing between industries and has become a lifestyle. With regard to the circle, the internet says, "you and your friends can join in the same circle, wherever you live, whether you live in a new wave, search fox, or bokee, blogcn, or blogger, typepad or even an independent blog with programs like mt, wp, etc."
When everyone started to get obsessed with computer screens, there was a fear that this virtual world would stop people from coming to me in the real world. But the facts of today certainly prove that it is a horrifying thing, no matter how much fun you may have, that you can find on the internet a kind of “smelling” that makes the individual no longer confined to the traditional world of work and classmateship, but a wider world of free choice and free access. When the convergence effect occurs on the internet, online connections tend to continue below the line, enriching real-life dating networks. So now there's nothing better than network failure to make modern people feel isolated。
A new pattern of friendship
Wherever there are people, there will be a circle that is called “groups of things, groups of people”. In recent days, according to the vice-minister of the information industry, zheng guohua, china has become one of the fastest-growing countries in the global information and communication industry. As of the first quarter of 2007, china had 144 million internet users, including 97 million broadband users. According to the 11th five-year plan of the ministry of information industry, the number of internet users in china is expected to reach 200 million by 2010. The concept of web 2. 0 allows individuals to become not only developers and creators of internet content, but also to continue to form circles on the internet and constantly choose to create circles that fit their own, to look in circles and to look for a source of inspiration, thus opening the way for diversity of life below their own line. “social is transitioning from institution to individual, and individuals are becoming citizens of `the democratic society of the new digital age', as schtenger, editor-in-chief of the american times weekly, said
In sociological terms, “circles” are “communities”, “tribals”, “groups”; in personal experience, “circles” are groups formed automatically by people who are close to each other in their aspirations, interests, ages and even places of residence; for networks, “circles” are increasingly tribal cyberspace, and the formation of these “clans” has unlimited potential。
The power of the internet's “circle” broke out on a massive scale during the “superwoman's voice” competition the previous year, which also brought to the attention of many of those who had not known how to do it before, the supermassiveness with which they were able to gather together, and the power that they could turn into. The netmate, “italian cat”, is an active football-based bar fan who used to watch the ball with her classmates and friends, but with a small number of female fans, and a sexist male fan, who perceives her as a pseudo fan, as well as the popular stars, the support teams, who tend to argue when they see an exciting spot. Until last year's world cup, she put it 100 times, "at last found the organization." “i was just looking for some information about the team i support, so i got a sticker from the team. Here, i find out not only the full range of information, but also many like-minded friends, who also recommend me to some relevant football forums and special qqq groups to meet more friends.” last year's semi-finals and finals of the world cup, “italian cats” were seen with her new online friends, “we have posted posts at the bar and at the forum, indicating the time, the place, and we want you to come together and shout for help for the team that we support, and it's more popular.” as a result, the number of people arriving on that day was much higher than expected, with both the pastime and the forum's netizens, as well as those who came to look for the “organization”, “we will now be seeing the ball more often, and we will exchange our hearts and information on the internet.” the italian cat has also said frankly that some of her netizens have become the “best friends” of her life, and that you will be able to give advice and help each other in times of difficulties。
Network circle
From individual to group
At times, the use of the cn domain as a "back-to-back code" in the web circle has been on the rise among a number of netizens, especially young people。
According to the information received, since march of this year, the china internet information centre (cnnic) has been conducting a one-dollar-cn domain name experience exercise, the applications of the cn domain name have grown dramatically. The “small geographic interest group” is the representative of the current use of a $1-cn domain as a circle sign. These geographical lovers, who are attending high school, come from different schools and, after registering xuedili. Cn domain names, have established a web-based geo-knowledge learning platform, regularly updating their geographical knowledge, publicizing the activities of interest groups and reaching out to many like-minded friends while learning。
“the children are now very active in thinking and are more receptive to new things.” according to mr. Wang, the head of a secondary school, it is common to create an interest group platform online using a cn domain name, and new internet technologies have generated interest in learning in disciplines. At the same time, a number of classmates have registered class names or commonly recognized nicknames as cn domain names, which are uniquely used in class alumni records。
The students' hot use is a microcosm of many young people using cn domain names to mark the circle. As the basic resource of our internet, the cn domain name is the only entry to the internet address bar, and is therefore also known as the internet gate number. Because of this uniqueness of the cn domain name, after creating a web circle using the cn domain name, like-minded people can quickly find their own “organizations” if they want a “name”. That is why the cn domain name has also been dubbed by young people in circles as the “back-to-back code”。
It is understood that the cn domain is our national top level domain and has evolved to become a mainstream use of our internet. Some circles, for example, have further used the cn domain name members to open personal domain e-mails, such as the small geographic interest group, which has opened each member a special e-mail box similar to ligiang@xuedili. Cn, and others to open online albums and feature blogs using the cn domain name members。
The “spreading” of online dating has become increasingly remote, whether by post, forum or domain name friends, and the circles that have been created by the so-called network are essentially the communities that have evolved from the individualization of the past to the grouping of the present. On the front page of the network, there is a detailed classification, and the interest circles include the ball club, the sports ring, the game circle, etc., as well as the business community, the relationship circle, etc., which is very convenient for internet users to follow the “circle”. According to some experts, “the cybercircle culture is in fact a network-connected culture based on certain themes, interests, ideas, pursuit of a virtual circle culture”
This virtual web circle is also a new form of interpersonal interaction, which is also shaped by greater diversity of modes of interpersonal interaction。
The advantage of the web community, relative to actual circles, lies in its broader reach, its increased socialization of people, its broader horizons, changes in some traditional narrow perceptions and the emergence of more innovative ideas。
A market economy in circles
Of course, the web community is not just a matter of entertaining themselves, but the ceos of the big websites at the top have been trying to figure out how to turn the web circle from culture to wealth, and the chairman of the western land community, jung-joon, has suggested that this is not a market of 5 billion, 20 billion, and it is definitely a big market, “because it combines with reality, and through it it it affects many of the actual businesses in reality, the impact of advertising is even greater in this case.”
Markets are now becoming more closely linked to circles. Circles exist and develop because of market needs; markets also seek their own needs by using the “authority” information provided in circles. Like bean petals, while attracting the same people, provides a link through which users can buy their own books, discs, and music cds directly as a network and a network of excellence, so that the bean petals help businesses market and therefore account for them. At present, the main revenue of the bean petals network comes from a well-recognised account, and yang burt claims that 10 links from the bean petals network will be bought once。
Clubmate
Social orientation clear
Social psychologist zhou xiaoxion once said that “the growth of circles is related to detail and to the openness and tolerance of society itself. A person may exist in several circles at the same time, and the size of the circle reflects a person's personal orientation. Generally, the greater the social resilience of a person, the greater the circle involved. The circle is also a social resource, and people usually look for less than enough resources through the resources that they have in their own circles. However, that does not mean that the more a person is involved in, the better, because the maintenance of a circle requires your contributions, including information, money, time, energy, etc. Too many circles are like an invisible net. For a circle, it's like a network with too much in mind, with its body and body in a fratricidal state.”
On the internet, any particular characteristics, such as occupation, taste, hobby, specialty, personality, income or even age, sex, can be formed into different circles to maintain a lifestyle of their own. One magazine editor, miss summers, runs a lot of “circles”, with colleagues who know each other in the world, in the west, in the street, in the right-hand house that he met at the district forum, in a car that he bought, in a group of cars organized on a website, and in a tourist website, who look at the world's “ass friend”. Ms. Sha said, "i need a circle. I need a circle. I need a circle. Otherwise, i feel lonely, unidentified, unable to face my own strange values in society. And in a community of common interests, where the social orientation is clear, where everyone shares a common purpose, once they enter the circle, into a common language, their communication and expression can be direct, real, pure and without real interests, which can well alleviate the stress and distress of work.” the need to work, and to build a relationship with her in the media in real life, is much greater for colleagues who are known in the world, western jute, or even in blogs, and for friends who are in the media. “we in magazines are based on the book, so i need a large group of writers, and these colleagues who meet online can be mutually beneficial. And we're all kind of cultural, we're all in a lot of common language, and we're always in a group of foods, and a lot of the idea of choosing is in a restaurant like this, and it's in the middle of a stamina." the secret board “dinning notice” that was opened by the famous cultural man of the capital in xie zhenghu in that year was the culmination of many mediamen's long-standing friendship, which is in line with the explanation given by the “circle” in the textual language — a group of people confining themselves together for the purpose of eating together. The famous writer, the fairy, has written a “singings” “as the msn rises and the blog is strong, the restaurant has jumped from a simple online gathering to the evening fair of media culture and artistic youth in beijing
The future of the masses
The psychological regulation of individuals by the circle is healthy and necessary, and does not require a circle unless he feels strong and does not need the psychological support and comfort of the group. It gives a networker an informal identity that goes beyond fixed belonging and a more flexible, emotional and human sense of belonging. This role is particularly prominent for members of small circles。
At the beginning of the internet era, the most popular place is the home page, where individuals on the internet display their own small tastes, thus attracting popular resonance. The secretary-general of the centre for information research of the chinese academy of social sciences, kang ki-ping, stated that “they make little commercial contribution, but they turn more people into internet users. In fact, the only reason the portal became a portal is because it absorbed all its little tastes into itself and made it look like a big and full supermarket, with each channel being an upgraded and larger personal home page, of which the most persuasive is the new wave blog. It's a typical case, where you capture a small group of people who can be the majority of those infected with fun. And the internet is the best place to spread fun."
From the first cat to the potato web to the bean petals, the ebay web, and so on, these small web sites are beginning to be a small group of networked people, and they are gaining strength through their reputations, and they become increasingly powerful after receiving attention from the mainstream media. On these sites, no matter how uniquely preferred and isolated the views of the netizens may be, it is always possible to find the same kind of acclaim. Like on the soy petals network, once registered, collections, recommended books, music and films can be uploaded on their own pages, and through the technology behind the site, netizens can know how many strangers are reading the same book and watching the same disk. If you click on their heads, you can add the other side as a “neighbor”, and you recommend the same interesting books, films, and you form a small circle, which is similar to a network of people mediating specific objects such as books. The founder of the bean petals network, yang bo, said, “the bean petals network has nearly a million books, films, music catalogues. But these things are the foundation, not the core. The point is, you need to put social elements in these elements so that there is a possibility of interaction between users. Our approach is, if you've seen more than eight books or films on the bean petals network, we'll recommend friends to you and the people you taste the most. We find the closest people to what you see from more than 300,000 users, so that you can communicate and form groups.”
In the latest statistics of alexa. Com, a statistical agency that monitors website traffic on a real-time basis, many of the unknown “small sites” have caught up and even led。
On china’s website, chinarank is ranked as the “chinese language network” dedicated to publishing original online novels, even ahead of the “sinhua network” and “people’s network”。
