Chapter 135 133 Facebook Online and Emergency Handling

Chapter 135 Facebook goes online and emergency response

June 1, 2003, today is the day Facebook officially launched.

UCLA, as one of the public Ivy League schools, brings together outstanding students from all over the world.

As a student from a well-off family, Barry does not have to pay for his own tuition, and he also has his own laptop.

Get up as usual, the first thing you do when you open your eyes is open your laptop, and then skillfully open Google to see what interesting news happened in the world in the past night.

The result is a line of big words that catches the eye - "Facebook, let everyone become the protagonist!"

As an experienced surfer, Barry instantly understood that this was an advertisement, even though the page took up too much space.

Shaking his head, he opened it without any interest. He browsed through it and found nothing interesting.

Then I quit Google and opened Yahoo. As a result, the most eye-catching sentence on the first interface is still the sentence-"Facebook, let everyone be the protagonist!".

After hesitating for a while, Barry clicked in this time, randomly gave himself a fake name, entered his gender, age, school and other information, and he came to his main interface.

It took him more than ten minutes to read the introduction and understand how Facebook operates, and then he posted his first text update.

And when he got up, washed up, and checked his notebook again, the exclamation mark in the upper right corner reminded him of new news.

Clicking on it to check it out, there were two comments under the post just posted, and there was also a friend application from a girl. Of course, no one knew whether there was a girl behind the computer.

This couldn't help but make Barry feel novel and excited. He had never had such an experience before.

If you want to make an analogy, it's like secretly using a phone to make a paid call to the customer service lady when you were young.

The friend application was approved immediately, and the first name appeared in Barry's friend list.

He left the dormitory with his laptop in his arms, not stopping at all, but his eyes were always fixed on the laptop screen.

Barry discovered that through the girl, he could actually see the other party's friend's main interface and posts, and he could add the girl's friends as friends.

This means that if two people become friends, it does not only represent two people, but also a huge network of relationships behind them.

Just like a neuron can send out countless branches, as long as you are willing to try, you can add a friend list of 5,000 people, because Facebook currently only supports the upper limit of 5,000 people.

"Hey! Junior, look ahead when you walk."

Suddenly, a persuasive voice sounded in his ears. Barry looked up and saw a sexy and hot blonde leaning against the pillar in the corridor looking at him.

"Laura Lynn!"

Barry couldn't help but blurt out the other person's name. The beautiful girl opposite was a member of the school cheerleading team. She was the dream lover of many boys and was always a frequent visitor to boys' private dirty jokes.

"Do you know me?" Lauralin asked with a smile.

"Of course, who doesn't know you at this school?"

"Are I so popular? But I don't seem to know you. We are not friends yet."

The friends that Barry misses are all in the school team, and I can't get crushed on the playground without my physique.

"Junior, if you want to be my friend, just add my Facebook account so that you can know what I am doing at all times."

Barry nodded hurriedly: "I'm using Facebook, look."

The two added friends, and after waving goodbye to Lauralin, Barry happily continued walking to the classroom.

As a result, along the way, he discovered that many handsome men and beautiful women were recruiting people for promotion, either members of the school team or cheerleaders. At this time, Barry suddenly realized that it was another advertisement.

But even if he knew it was an advertisement, he couldn't bear to delete it. These school team and cheerleading team members were all famous figures in the school. How could they usually interact with him? Now that they are there, he must cherish them.

Besides, although it didn't last long, Barry found that Facebook was quite interesting. The updates he posted could also attract comments from others, which allowed him to find a little bit of pleasure in being the center of the crowd.

“Facebook, let everyone be the protagonist!”

Barry seems to understand the meaning of this advertising slogan.

The same thing is happening in major universities across the United States. College students, as the group of people with the strongest ability to accept new things, soon chose to join Facebook.

Eric did not go to MGM today. Instead, he took a plane to Silicon Valley early in the morning and is now sitting on the office floor where Facebook is located.

He, Fitzheisenberg, Robert Millen, and Howard Hughes gathered in front of the computer and watched the background data.

I saw that the original number of user registrations suddenly jumped from "0" to "544".

Eric lowered his head and looked at the time: "In less than five minutes, there were more than 500 new users. It's a very good trend."

"Because your promotion strategy is correct, boss, there is no more suitable soil for the development of Facebook than university campuses in this world." Heisenberg complimented.

Eric smiled: "How's the server issue going?"

"We are purchasing and have already placed an order. In fact, as long as it is completed within a month, I believe it will not be a big problem. With the current server capacity, it will definitely be able to sustain it, unless people go crazy."

"Don't take it lightly. Always give users the best experience and face challengers, so that we can always be invincible.

"By the way, Fitz, I suddenly found a problem. Although Facebook supports users to post pictures, whether using a mobile phone or a camera, uploading pictures always depends on data cables or memory cards. Can we make a software to make picture transmission more convenient?"

"Boss, do you mean to abandon data cables or memory cards?"

"That's right."

Fitz thought for a moment: "It shouldn't be difficult. We can develop a Bluetooth technology plug-in built into Facebook. Users only need to match the Bluetooth of their mobile phones and computers to transmit, but there are also problems."

"What problems?"

"From the perspective of mobile phones, most of them now have built-in Bluetooth functions, but computers have a longer service life, and some of them are more likely to have no Bluetooth modules installed. "

Eric laughed: "This is not our problem. Users need to solve their own problems. We only provide a convenient path, which may stimulate consumption. Those electronic product manufacturers should thank us. "Okay, I will finish this plug-in as soon as possible. The technical difficulty is not high. It will probably take about a week." Eric nodded: "Let's use this plug-in as the first version update of Facebook. In the future, we must constantly launch new content. Once a month is the minimum." "Like, block, privacy settings, view visitors, search engine, automatic friend recommendation, mini-games, I need you to slowly complete it." "Don't worry, boss, I know what to do!" As he spoke, the background numbers jumped again, directly from 3554 to 15387. Eric's eyes lit up: "Why did it suddenly grow so much?" The technical guy next to him entered the database and began to check. After a moment, he turned around and reported: "Boss, Nicole Kidman registered an account and posted a dynamic. She brought considerable traffic. ”

As a social networking software, Facebook requires real-name registration as the primary condition. Without this foundation, the sense of reality will be greatly weakened, so the technology can quickly lock the target from the background.

However, this real-name system is only a broad concept. The internal program of the system can only determine whether it is a person's name, but cannot determine whether the name is real.

For example, if you name yourself "dog shit", you can tell at a glance that it is not a person's name, so you cannot complete the registration.

And your real name is Sheldon, but you registered with Leonard. Congratulations, you can successfully register.

Facebook can only do this step. If you want to truly complete the real-name system, similar to the real-name system of China in later generations.

You must access the federal database and pour the citizens' social security account and other private information into Facebook's database.

However, this approach is impossible if you think about it, and the law cannot be passed.

In addition, Facebook in later generations has caused many user privacy leaks due to technical reasons, so it has been prosecuted and fined many times.

That is, it has not caused too serious consequences, and the exchange of points and crimes has been sloppy. Closed.

If it is really connected to the federal database, it will leak more than just a few insignificant mobile phone numbers and email accounts.

The requirement of real-name registration adds a hurdle for everyone.

Big stars will definitely use their real names, which can enhance exposure and publicity, unless they plan to open a small account to fight others.

For example, basketball stars James and Durant like to open small accounts to flatter themselves or scold others; Meghan Markle even opened 12 small accounts to scold her sister-in-law Kate Middleton; the famous dog-stealing incident of Yuan Li in China has been played into a meme.

Unlike big stars, ordinary people are casual. No one really knows what is behind the computer.

Eric found a computer and sat down, logged into his Facebook account, searched for Nicole, and then clicked to add a friend.

After waiting for a while, it didn't pass.

He added it again, but it still didn't pass.

After trying several times in a row, Eric simply called, and this time it was connected in seconds.

"Nico, I saw that you opened a Facebook account, why didn't I add you as a friend. ”

On the other side, Nicole’s voice sounded a little helpless: “Eric, is it really you? You don’t know, since I logged in, dozens of Eric Coopers have wanted to add me as a friend, and there are other friends. I can’t tell who is real and who is fake.”

“I passed the first one, and after a few words, the other side actually started to ask for my photos, to be more precise, nude photos.”

“I was alert, but fortunately I didn’t send it to the other party in a rush, otherwise I would definitely be in the news tomorrow.”

Eric instantly understood that it was a problem of duplicate names. Think about it, it’s strange that hundreds of millions of people don’t have duplicate names, not to mention that there are people who fish in troubled waters.

“I know, you remember my ID, search and add me directly, hang up, you reminded me of something, and I have to deal with it quickly.”

After speaking, Eric hung up the phone and hurried out of the small room.

“Fitz, now use our official account to send a message to everyone, warning everyone that there are many users with the same name, don’t be fooled.”

“If the other party asks for money, sensitive information, etc., you must verify it by phone, don’t be fooled easily! "

Hearing this, Fitz slapped his forehead and realized that this could be a big problem.

Especially since Facebook is the first social networking software, no one has any experience with it. If someone plays tricks at this time, Facebook will definitely suffer.

The message was sent very quickly. After more than ten seconds, the technical guy nodded to indicate that it was done.

Fitz sighed: "Now is the accumulation period of new users. A large number of new users will pour in every moment. You should resend this message every hour."

Then he looked at Eric: "Boss, is this okay?"

"Can we distinguish and only remind new registered users? Reminding the same user multiple times may cause the other party to be annoyed."

"Sorry, boss, our background is not that smart yet." Fitz shook his head.

After hesitating for a moment, Eric said: "I don't think this method is good. Let's put our reminder under "welcome to facebook" on the Facebook login interface."

"As long as the user logs in again, this interface will pop up. If someone is still fooled, it can only be said that this kind of person is suitable for staying at home and playing Atari."

Everyone's face was happy. This is indeed a simple and labor-saving good way.

"Fitz, there is another function to be developed, which is the real-name authentication of public figures, including all public figures who are currently joining Facebook and those who will join in the future."

"Whether it is the political circle, the film and television circle, the music circle, or the fashion circle, as long as the user labels himself as a public figure, he must be required to authenticate his information."

"After the authentication is passed, you can add a striking suffix after the name, or other methods, you can discuss the details."

"Boss, what about ordinary users?"

"Ordinary users also need to set up a safety net. We don't care whether the other party uses a real name or a pseudonym when registering, but no matter what the reason, once the account is blocked, you must authenticate the real name if you want to unblock it. If you pass, you will be unblocked, and if you fail, you will be permanently blocked."

Fi Ci carefully wrote down Eric's request: "Okay, this function will be launched along with the Bluetooth plug-in."

"Boss, thanks to you for flying here. Even though we have thought a lot, there are still too many problems that we haven't considered."

"Especially in the face of such a sudden problem that is very harmful, if it weren't for you to command on the spot, everyone would definitely be in chaos."

Eric smiled: "You can flatter less and do more things. The problems facing Facebook may also be the problems faced by YouTube and Lionheart in the future. Solving them will benefit everyone."

He looked at Robert Millen and Howard Hughes: "Facebook will be busy recently. If necessary, you can come and help."

The two nodded in agreement.

At this time, the data jumped again, directly from 38453 to 56123, an increase of nearly 20,000 new users.

The background data is set to refresh automatically every ten minutes.

The reason for the data jump must be that another star has settled in.

Thanks to Luciferhx for the 200 coin reward, the boss is generous!
