Cool Name:A9!

好象是15号凌晨在Dave Winner那看到,没留意,因为MS刚好推出个Channel 9,把我弄的糊涂了,就好象外国人名,突然在Blog上冒出来热起来,而国内根本没有相关的译名,害的经常要去背景材料,所谓的"国际化",这恐怕是一个问题.

A9这个名字还是挺Cool的,不知道为什么起这个,品牌内涵又是什么呢?Grassland上有大把介绍,这里就免了,感觉速度很慢,结果跟Google相似.

Steve Yelvington关于A9的评论是:

Media and retail businesses used to seem separate and interdependent. Traditional media built audiences, and businesses bought access to those audiences (advertising).

News media should take notice.Amazon understands audience management, user-contributed content, and user-driven recommendation systems better than any "media site" today. They're focused on knowing their audience, building that audience independently of traditional media, and delivering offers to that audience -- on behalf of other "partner" retailers as well as themselves. Is Amazon a media site or a retailer? The answer is "both."

(媒体和零售商业通常是各自独立的,媒体产生受众注意力,零售商业沟通购买受众注意力而促进销售(广告).如果能够将两者有机的结合起来,对消费者进行指导性消费,这种销售模式将大大提高利润率.

Amazon比那些所谓的新媒体网站更懂得受众管理、用户参与建设媒体内容系统、用户推荐消费系统,通过和受众的户动,最终不仅仅只是销售商,同时还充分利用自建的信息传播平台进行信息传播,以支持销售.Amzon正在寻找一条媒体化商业销售的路子,A9就是一种尝试.) [Source from周强]

而关于Channel9的消息,据说是:
开发人员们自己的"Channel9",是人们了解微软公司信息的一种方式,是学习他们如何工作的一个机会.

该站点最初的内容包括微软公司的开发人员思考从安全到.Net在内的各种问题的音、视频、网络日记、专门讨论开发人员问题的论坛以及一些共享代码的"wiki"论坛.

Channel 9的规则强调礼貌、慎重,禁止商业活动.据说其仅用于交流的目的,鼓励微软公司与其客户之间真诚的对话,而非一种营销和公关工具.

事情做到这个份上,又何必不承认那是Marketing呢,这种方式真的很好!
