Chapter 1698 (1/2)
When the new version of YY was launched, it coincided with late December.
As it was the end of the year, Li Mu positioned it as the new year's version with the version number of 2005 V5.0.
From 2005, all YY versions will use ”year” as the version code. 2005 is 5.0, 2006 is 6.0, and so on.
In principle, the version code of each year will not be adjusted. For example, for any version released in 2005, the version number will be written in the form of 5. X.y. the number of minor version will be increased in Y, and that of major version will be increased in X.
In other words, if 2005 v5.0.1 is released, it is a small change; if 2005 v5.1.0 is released, it is a big change.
At present, the market share of YY basically accounts for more than 95%. Although some other small products have a certain audience, their audience and YY overlap very high.
As a unique instant messaging tool in the world, the new version of YY has attracted a large number of users' attention from the pre notice stage.
The new version of YY has been upgraded in a number of functions, as well as a comprehensive optimization of UI interface more in line with modern aesthetics. The biggest upgrade is the new dynamic expression.
Since the leading position of the industry has been established, and there is no global rival, YY has not been greatly updated in this period of time. Unlike the earliest days, various new functions of hanging and exploding the sky have been continuously launched, but slow down the speed, firm and steady, to ensure that each new version can be in visual experience, interactive experience and use experience Improved.
Li Mu is very clear that many software is destroyed by blind upgrading, which gives users a feeling that it is uglier and more difficult to use after upgrading than before. Therefore, he is very cautious about every upgrade and requires the team to be stable.
Because every update of YY is very stable and never let users down, users also maintain a sense of expectation for the new version. Every time a new version is released, most users will choose to upgrade after logging in.
This time, YY users around the world found that YY had upgraded the first version in 2005, and they were excited to download the update package and update the software.
After the user's update and login, YY flashed a series of sci-fi animations, such as new 2005 and new yy5.0. YY's logo also ran out of the visual effect of the three-dimensional animation with CG, and then matched with a very futuristic background music, which made all users feel great good.
The whole interface, border and button have better visual effect, which greatly improves the user experience. When users click to open the friend dialog box, they find that there is an animation prompt on the dialog box, and a continuously glowing arrow points to another moving expression sign next to the original Emoji expression, and prompts in the native language: ”Please Click See the new dynamic emoticon feature. ”
After clicking open, an expression selection box appears. Twenty panda bear expressions are presented in front of users in five or four rows, and each of them is in a continuous dynamic cycle.
As long as the user places the mouse on one of the emoticons thumbnails, a matchbox size floating window will pop up immediately, which can clearly enlarge and display the emoticons targeted by the mouse. When the user sees these emoticons, almost everyone is attracted by this strange and cute cartoon image.
Soon, some users are trying to send a dynamic expression to their friends.
Click send, the GIF expression immediately appears in the dialog box. The funny action matches with the text, which makes people laugh.
Moreover, users soon found that this kind of dynamic expression can not only directly replace the text in some cases, but also use the expression of ”alternative chat”!
For example, a user sent a panda bear to a friend and said, ”here I am!” His friend immediately returned a panda bear's face, which suddenly turned its head to exaggerate and waved, with a string of love.
Some users are not so friendly. When they receive the ”I'm here” expression from their friends, they choose to reply to Panda Bear's expression of kicking a person to fly.
The friend immediately sent him a panda bear beating expression in color.
Soon, we found that all kinds of expressions can be related to each other according to different situations, and different combinations naturally have different effects and feelings.
For users, it's like discovering a new continent, and they immediately immerse themselves in it.
20 panda bear expressions were played by users almost immediately!
Users have no natural resistance to this expression, which makes their online chat suddenly enter a new height.
Since panda bear expression has multi-national language versions, the system judges by automatically loading the panda bear expression in any language version the user uses, so it can be spread all over the world.
What's more, the expression of local cache and instruction transmission can also be switched between various languages.For example, a Japanese sent a ”go away” to a Korean The sender selects Japanese expression locally and sends it to the server as an instruction. After Korean YY is used to collect the expression, it will be automatically displayed as Korean expression. Therefore, this expression has no national boundaries.
Group chat is more interesting.
