Origin of Douban
Do you often stare at the endless covers in the bookstore? Or escape from the dazzling array of audio and video stores with dizziness? With the advent of broadband download and online shopping, your choices are increasing by hundreds every day, even in the smallest towns. There must be something you will 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. Moreover, each has his own love. No matter how fair and diligent the 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 will not recommend a childcare book to a bachelor, nor will they 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.
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. The magic of word of mouth will be magnified a hundred times, which 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.
