The Revival of the Tianya Community: Return, Innovation or Rights Protection?Xing Ming, the founder of Tianya Community, recently publicly stated that it is expected that on March 1, 2024, the 25th anniversary of the establishment of Tianya Community, Tianya will be officially restarted, and plans to launch an official version"The end of the world"。This frequent news made the originally silent Tianya suddenly become the focus of ** again.
The rise and fall of the Tianya community can be regarded as a microcosm of China's social networking. Founded in 1999, at the beginning of the Internet boom, Tianya Community provided a platform for netizens to share and discuss and spread stories touched by universal emotions with its unique community-based UGC (user-generated content) production. Tianya once carried the power of civilian discourse, was good at inciting emotions, touching people's hearts, and carrying the passionate youth and unforgettable memories of a generation. It can be said that it used to be a part of our internet age.
However, due to liquidity difficulties and technical problems, in April this year, the Tianya community suspended visits, and although the employees carried out a live charity sale of "seven days and seven nights, restart Tianya", only 14 were raised in the end990,000 yuan, far from being able to pay the outstanding telecommunications room fees, the continuous ups and downs make people worry: whether Tianya can be revived?
Despite the difficulties, Tianya never gave up. Xing Ming emphasized that Tianya will put the recovery and preservation of data in the first place, and cooperate and communicate with ** and telecom to ensure that the "memories" of netizens can be preserved. To be admired, the team has always been proactive and persevering in their efforts to find funding and solutions to preserve and restore users' data and memories to the greatest extent possible.
In the future, the return of the Tianya community not only means the restoration of the previous content services, but also shows a vision of a new form of social networking. Xing Ming mentioned that after the restart, Tianya will be combined with **, based on the thousands of copies born in the Tianya community and a rich copyright library, and may even be combined with AI in the future to quickly transform part of the content into short dramas. It shows his expectations and vision for the future development of Tianya: combining the current popular content forms, taking root in the core needs of users, and opening up content innovation in the AI era.
In general, although the failure, silence, and restart of the Tianya community reflect the ups and downs of China's Internet development, its determination to tap user needs and innovate models is worthy of our praiseDespite the pain, the process of overcoming difficulties may open up a new world and bring the Tianya community to life again. We look forward to a smooth restart of Tianya and a new look to once again become a spiritual paradise for netizens.
