Chapter 072 [Streaming Media Technology Patent]

After determining the development schedule for the first half of the year, Luo Sheng convened 150 internal employees to form a development team, led by Xu Yong himself and Luo Sheng himself entered the development sequence.

At the same time, the company is also hiring various engineers with high salaries to the outside world.

In the next half month, Xu Yong was responsible for the development of Musispae, while Luo Sheng was responsible for the development of Bluestar Video, but he would not always focus on the development of the technical department. The main purpose was to build the framework, and his function was to cultivate the development capabilities of engineers.

The difference between Blue Star Video and Fufeng Video is first of all, there is a technical difference. Fufeng Video is not an online player or uses streaming media technology.

The so-called streaming media technology is a network transmission technology that compresses and saves the complete image and sound data on the website server, so that users can download and obtain information, so as not to download the entire compressed file before viewing.

"As early as the end of the last century, IT giants including Microsoft and Apple saw the potential contained in streaming technology and developed their own products one after another. IETF joined hands with many streaming technology companies to formulate relevant technical specifications, hoping to make the products of many manufacturers compatible with each other and make the market bigger."

At this moment, Luo Sheng and the members of the development team started to communicate technology while sitting together in the lounge. For the members of the development team, Luo Sheng is definitely the master of technology in their minds. Not only can they broaden their horizons, but they can also learn a lot of new things and can definitely kill the computer professors in the university in seconds.

"In April 1998, IETF's multimedia team released the first standardized streaming communication protocol rtsp1.0, which marked the development of streaming media technology entering a standardized track. In addition to Microsoft and Adobe, other manufacturers such as Apple, realworks, and paketvideo all supported the rtsp1.0 protocol in their products."

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng raised his legs and said calmly: "But our Blue Star Video does not use the services of any streaming technology companies on the market now, because their technology is too inferior. We develop new streaming media transmission protocols ourselves, not for sale, but only for our own products."

Lu Siming said: "Boss, do you mean that our streaming technology does not support the rtsp1.0 protocol?"

Luo Sheng nodded: "What I want to build is my own ecosystem. Bluestar Technology's 'family bucket' is not because of its arrogant and lack of money, and chose not to use the rtsp1.0 protocol because the standard maker did not fully predict the rapid growth of Internet broadband, and the shortage of IPV4 addresses, and the large number of proxy servers existed."

"In addition, there are certain shortcomings in transmission reliability and ease of use. I firmly believe that the next few years will definitely be the years of the big explosion of online videos. I don't use the rtsp1.0 protocol, and other companies that want to be streaming video service providers will not be very interested, but I just watched it farther than they responded."

The development team of Blue Star Video currently develops a streaming media technology called "lvhttp", which uses an instant communication protocol embedded in video.

One of the major characteristics of the development of Internet technology is the "winner-take-all". In the application layer protocol, http has the potential to win-take-all. This is not Luo Sheng's technology. Its founder is the World Wide Web launching as scheduled. The website itself is positioned as a social news site. The slogan launched is: speak out in advance in the news, and the voice from the Internet.

The reddit born in Luo Sheng's hands has at least a superb change from the reddit in the previous life, that is, it changes its simple pages, rough graphics, blockbuster text, etc., and the webpage style is exquisite and smooth.

The reason why reddit in the previous life was lost was due to the funds. After all, the bandwidth cost will increase accordingly. Fortunately, Blue Star Technology is not short of money, although it has not earned a penny yet.

Isn't this money for VC?

When reddit was launched, product manager Russell Simmons asked the international version of Bluespae to help reddit attract traffic, but was rejected by his immediate boss George Charles.

Because Luo Sheng explained to George, he even warned that if he dared to pop up a small advertisement window on the international version of the bluespae website without his permission, he would fire his squid, even if it was a small advertisement.

George is happy about his current job. Last year, he completed his performance and his salary increased to $1.08 million as he wished. He also obtained the option share allocation of Blue Star Technology, which exercised its rights based on the valuation price after the B round of financing. The myth of the B round of financing made him realize that in the near future, Blue Star Technology's iPo company can become a billionaire.

So far, the international bluespae website has reached the 20 million user mark in North America, and basically universities across the United States have been successfully captured. George Charles has completely referenced the expansion model of China and successfully copied it in North America.

Now it is starting to expand to users outside of universities, and the expansion speed of bluespae website in North America can be said to be unrivaled.

Facts have proved that this model can be successful in China, and North America can be successful in the opposite direction.

There is even an illusion that bluespae seems to be more suitable for Europe and America and has more potential.

With 20 million users, this is a very large amount of traffic, but it cannot attract traffic, which makes Russell Simmons very depressed.

However, Bluestar Technology is currently very famous at home and abroad, and the launch of Reddit. is also highly concerned by the Internet industry at home and abroad, as well as the VC that invests in Bluestar Technology.

As a result, the industry and the VC were stunned.

As the pioneer of real-name social networking and the most playful Internet company, the characteristics of the newly launched products' anonymity mechanism are in sharp contrast with their core businesses.
