thinking

Douban seems to be a review (book review, film review Music review )Website, but in fact it provides bibliographic recommendations and communion of interests Multiple service functions, such as making friends, are more like a collection BLOG , make friends, group, collection in one New community Network.
Watercress
In Yang Bo's eyes, "people" are the most important. If portal websites still regard "things" as the first element, and some social websites mention "people" as the first element, then Douban is the first website to place "people" and "things" in the same important position.
With the launch of the English version of Douban, Douban is expected to become the first website in China to export to the outside world. In fact, Douban itself is the result of gathering the strengths of many companies. What websites and elements did Douban learn from? According to Yang Bo, there are three aspects.
First, the simple and elegant interface style is derived from flickr , including its concept of sharing;
Second, in terms of e-commerce, we learned from Amazon (Amazon), such as user comments and recommendations;
Third Social network SNS )Some elements of, put people and people's social relations to the real online, but the general social network is no media, and Douban uses the same interests as the media.
Yang Bojiang, the core of douban Thought summary He explained that the recommendation of friends is often critical to buying a certain product. Douban has expanded the recommendation group, and you will trust the recommendation of specific strangers. This "can be understood as a kind of network of people with books and other specific objects as the media".

origin

Do you often stare at the endless covers in the bookstore? perhaps dizzy Escape from the dazzling array of audio and video stores? Broadband download and Online shopping After the arrival, even in the smallest town, your choices are increasing by hundreds every day. There must be something you like, but in nine cases out of ten they will pass you by unconsciously. The media has made the blockbusters suitable for young and old everywhere, but they are powerless to deal with things that only suit a group of people. and, Each has his own love No matter how fair and diligent TV entertainment editors and newspaper book reviewers are, their help cannot be equally effective for everyone.
The initiator of Douban found that the most effective help for most people to make choices actually comes from relatives, friends and colleagues. A casual recommendation or two not only conveys their own true feelings, but also includes the judgment of your taste and the subsequent screening. They won't bachelor Recommend the parenting encyclopedia, and will not bring back naked agents to my mother. Unfortunately, all of our relatives and friends add up, but what we have heard and seen is still limited. Moreover, people with the most similar tastes are often strangers.
Douban.com based on UGC and interest map
If you can not make friends one by one, but know the tastes of thousands of people, you can quickly find the most like-minded, word-of-mouth magic from the middle, which will certainly be magnified a hundred times, and it will help everyone. Douban came into being with this wish. Douban is not aimed at any specific group of people, trying to include Baiwei. Whether tall or short, fat or thin, white snow people, douban helps you find like-minded people through your favorite things, and then find more good things through them.
December 2004, Beijing Chaoyang Gate Douban Hutong Nearby Starbucks Almost every afternoon, Abe (Yang Bo) will carry a painting that has fallen off PowerBook Come here and immerse yourself in programming for a few hours. Most of the original procedures of Douban were completed here. This is the origin of "douban".

Product Principles

In terms of user guidance, Douban emphasizes the principle of user participation. The more users participate, the more they will gain. For example, only after joining a group can users have the right to create a group. After users have more than 9 collections and give comments, Douban will recommend members to them, so that they have the right to publish second-hand exchanges and recommend beans. This is the agreement that Douban needs to make based on the calculation model, but at the same time, it gives users surprises that they are constantly discovering.
On the user route, Douban adopts the principle of decentralization and centralization. On the product line, it is decentralized. The function keys are set on the corresponding product page, which is the embodiment of the process; user management It focuses on the behavior of users in the station and reflects the results. This similarity Shopping website The setting of is convenient for users, and the route is clear.
In terms of product settings, Douban adopts the principle of core needs. In order to ensure the focus of users on the website, Douban has no maps or common Community website Points and upgrade system designed to increase traffic. On the one hand, this practice ensures the professionalism of the vertical operation of the website and plays a role in creating the atmosphere of the website, but on the other hand, it also consolidates the "niche" of the website and limits the expansion of the user base. Users not only grow slowly, but also lack incentives for old users. Once there are websites with rich resources of the same type in the market, and the user accumulation of the website itself has not reached the scale, the resistance of Douban is very worrying.

founder

Yang Bo (A Bei), graduated from Tsinghua University , after University of California San Diego received a doctorate in physics. In 1998, he joined IBM as a consultant scientist and engaged in the next generation Magnetic recording equipment Calculation model work of. Participated in the establishment in Beijing from 2000 to 2004 supply chain management Egistics, a start-up enterprise in the field of solutions Chief Technology Officer In 2005, Douban.com was established, and one year later, Douban Inc. was established.
As early as in middle school, Yang Bo had begun to write computer programs. I wanted to learn computer when I was in college, but after discussing with my family, I thought that computer was just a tool, so I chose physics. But the attraction of computers to Yang Bo is huge. In college, he often wrote something in his spare time Applet I was writing when I went abroad to study. Slowly, the proportion of writing programs in Yang Bo's work was increasing.
A Bei Zai Douban (2012)
In 2000, Yang Bo resigned silicon valley IBM consultant scientist, sold furniture and cars and returned to Beijing. It was only one month since I began to think about returning to China and then I was in Beijing. Nothing came back. In the last few months of 2004, he decided to leave the supply chain management company that he personally participated in entrepreneurship to do a completely grassroots thing.
Every morning, the former physics student from Tsinghua University and the doctor from the University of California will use it for three years, and the paint will crack Apple Notebook , go to Beijing Chaoyang District Starbucks near Douban Hutong "go to work". Yang Bo chose the project there by chatting with friends until he talked about traveling one day.
In September 2004, when Yang Bo was chatting with his friends, some friends who like traveling encouraged him to become a non-mainstream The website of the tourist spot. So Yang Bo began to make a business plan for the travel website and named it "Lvzong". After a short time, Yang Bo carefully considered the business model and found that there were still too few people for self-help travel, so Yang Bo changed the development direction of his website.
After market research, Yang Bo found that cultural products are more suitable for this form. After paying the domain name fee and server hosting fee, Yang Bo went on his way quietly with the website with the same strange name and content as Douban.
Since October 2004, the early development of Douban.com has been five months, and half of the network programs are written in Starbucks. Since the establishment of the website, there have been no editors, writers, special articles, 600 lines of homepage, jumping latest topics, and almost no advertisements. On March 7, 2005, Yang Bo's "Douban" website opened. Soon, the registered users of Douban exceeded 10000 Hits More than 200000. It is worth mentioning that it was not until the first anniversary of Douban on February 23, 2006 that Yang Bo welcomed his first regular employee Two weeks later, programmer 02 was in place. Therefore, the industry also has the saying "one person's watercress".

Site Architecture

Douban.com Logo
Record sharing, discovery recommendation, and friend exchange are the directions of Douban to the user's path in the user's website guide, which can also correspond to the three major components of Douban navigation: taste system (reading, film, music), expression system (I read, I watch, I listen), and AC system (Local, group friendly neighbor )。
From the birth of Douban to the development along the way, its technology has always been considered the key to the success of the website. Interestingly, the technical threshold of Douban is not high, so the market an imitator However, copying Douban does not mean success. Why did no one think of similar ideas before Douban?
All watercress are developed in python. Website background Search Engines Twisted based, GUI based Quixote , cElementTree is also used, MySQL And PIL. In addition, Douban is basically developed from scratch (by Yang Bo Four or five months for one person), which is the basis of douban technology. In addition to the pure technical principles, there are three related douban technologies Core principles

Background technology

Conform to the user's habits. A simple foreground interface does not represent the simplicity of the system. In fact, on the contrary, in the Web2.0 system, the background needs to do more work. Some functions that look simple on the surface may need a lot of programs and calculations behind them.
Douban is the best Representativeness Example of. Different from most websites, the earliest developed part is a set of Recommendation engine This is a calculation model based on mathematical statistics. After the user clicks and sees something, this model can automatic analysis "People who are most similar to their tastes", and actively recommend books, music or movies that users are most likely to like.
Douban is 100% Dynamic website , there is no static page. We can regard it as a Personal management The tools of books, music and videos are just put on the Internet. Many people copied the model and resources of Douban, but as Yang Bo said, just copying the surface of a website is worthless. Google The interface of is simpler, but System core Not here. Douban is one step more than Tag statistical model And some Program algorithm In fact, this is the core of Douban.com. "
The Web is more and more like a Computing platform Connect computers through various Web applications. For example, you can use Flickr when you need an album, and call Google Map Api when you need a map. As many service providers gradually open their own services, each website can be regarded as a piece of software Service Provider The relationship between them makes the system more and more complex, and the complexity of this system will not lead to cumbersome use of functions.
Powerful functions and simple use are the inevitable trend of WEB2.0 applications. From the application of Douban, it can be seen that the relationship between users can be found, the connection of guiding user functions can be established in the background, and convenient storage and query can be done for data volume. These are the core of website technology.

Rapid development

An incredible fact is that Douban has more than 100000 Registered user Alexa's traffic ranked around 1000. For a long time, only one server saved 8000 yuan and a development team of one or two people maintained it.
In order to adapt to this scale, the development model needs to be changed. This is reflected in many Web 2.0 websites, and some people call it the simple philosophy. For rapid development, system design Simplification is also required. Yang Bo said, "There have also been some changes in Douban.com, which was initially influenced by the original enterprise system, Structural design It is too complicated and even divided into many layers. Later, it was simplified because it was too complicated for rapid development. "
Douban uses agile development This is a rapid development Rapid change On average, new functions appear every two days.
"Web2.0 websites are changing rapidly, and not all functions are fully realized at the beginning." Yang Bo said, "This requires System Architecture Of Scalability Do a good job. And we must consider the problems that the future scale may bring. From the beginning, the architecture design of Douban can support millions of users. " At the same time, Web based development saves the cost of client distribution and maintenance, so it can achieve "eternal BETA", update and upgrade services at any time. It is said that the learning object of Douban Flickr The upgrade of is in hours.
The interaction between Web 2.0 and users is also the driving force for the rapid improvement of websites. After the website runs, listen to the user's feedback and guide the next step of application development. "Douban has a website forum, and many people often speak to put forward their own needs." For example, when Douban was just opened, because everyone can freely create or participate in groups, users may participate in dozens of groups at the same time. However, due to the small number of people in many groups, it may take a long time for someone to speak, so everyone asked for a function to gather the latest speeches of all groups together. Yang Bo soon realized this function, which has proved to be very popular.
Yang Bo believes that because it is a small team, Operating mode One manager can't lead a group of people, but everyone needs to participate in programming. Moreover, the requirements for comprehensive learning ability are relatively high. "Because technology changes very quickly, and new technologies may appear in a few months if you are familiar with any technology and have more experience, the most important thing is to be able to track the latest knowledge. Moreover, since the latest Web2.0 models and ideas are initiated from abroad, programmers should have the ability to work in an English environment Direct communication Ability to participate directly abroad Open source project Instead of looking at documents that have been translated into Chinese. " Yang Bo said that he learned by himself Python It also started with Douban.com. "Python is very suitable for agile development, and I tried to use it at the beginning Ruby Later, because Douban.com needed a lot of background programs, Python was more suitable for writing some background model programs, and eventually the foreground was unified into one language. " Yang Bo didn't know much about MySQL before, but he quickly made up his knowledge in the process of building Douban.com. "We have several databases that can be synchronized, and we also send Open source community Feedback has been given. "
Douban has selected many open source products. Yang Bo believes that "it is very important to make good use of open source products. Douban's platform is based on Linux , the database uses MySQL, except data mining And search, and others are developed on top of open source products. Because there are many very mature products and modules, there is no need to start from scratch. As long as you have the ability to understand and acquire this knowledge, you can quickly develop your own system on the basis of others. "

The initial investment of the website is only 200000 yuan from several friends RMB
Is it true that 200000 yuan created Alexa4000 ranking? Take a look:
At the beginning of Yang Bo's website, someone once proposed that the website should face mobile phone users. Yang Bo said that mobile phones only produce dozens of products a year, although they have a large audience, they are more suitable for professional engineers to evaluate, and there are tens of thousands of books every year. Previously, book reviews were mainly produced by experts, while most of the book reviews of publishers were for marketing purposes. Turn book reviews into practical ones business model , so as to purchaser To play a guiding role is the key to the success of Douban.com.
