App designers dream of creating a platform that users never want to leave, that keeps them glued forever - a platform that is "sticky".
Over 846 million WeChat users leave text and voice messages, share life moments, play games, use stickers, purchase rail and flight tickets, shop online, pay utilities and bills, transfer money to friends, and even donate to charity without leaving WeChat, the super-sticky platform. The Economist called WeChat "one app to rule them all", and as it starts to gain global appeal, it is rewriting the rules for social media platforms.
This book provides a balanced and nuanced study of how the super-sticky WeChat platform interweaves into the fabric of Chinese social, cultural, and political life. It keeps the wider global and national social media landscape in view and compares and contrasts WeChat with Weibo and QQ, two other popular social media platforms in China, and other Western social media platforms.
对于微信功能设计的分析非常详尽,里面一些文献梳理也很有帮助,研究手段对我也有启示意义。但并没有回答我心中的疑问:为什么张小龙一直是一个宣扬“克制”、“即用即走”的极简设计理念的程序员,但微信还是如此的“sticky”?是张小龙被马化腾绑架了吗?还是说极简主义本身也是一种消费主义?对于回答这些问题本书没有太多帮助。阅读过程中总有种预设立场的感觉,所有的功能都指向“super sticky”这一结果,以及因为它提供非常多的功能和服务,所以“super sticky”,那既然如此,“super sticky是否还构成一个问题?因为以此标准,智能手机才是真正的super-sticky。总觉这本书还是太局限于微信这个软件本身了。
评分微信研究的重要文本,非常新而且讲得非常全!方法和框架新颖但准确实用,从功能和社会语境多重方面的critical analysis正是在当前微信成为Mega-Platform之后一个回顾式梳理,尽管缺少延展性的分析,但它对自己第一学期的term paper帮助巨大……吹一波

评分说微信super sticky是因为它已经是mega-platform了(我觉得似乎sociality更重要一点);三个media events 的例子,peter liang、 魏则西、范雨素。censorship讲了,不多。
