Today, I really contributed to M$ (Microsoft) by clicking on its last advertisement before installing MSNShell. Then I saw this place where you can create an MSN group. I tried it out, and the operation was pretty simple. The entire process of creating a group went smoothly (though I spent a long time figuring out that sending a screen flash vibration would activate the group member list). In the end, the problem came - I had no idea who I should add to the new group I just created ([email protected]).
I thought about my QQ. On QQ, I joined more than ten QQ groups: class reunions, mobile phone communities, pet communities, technical groups, even stock markets, real estate markets, and various strange groups. Although I have blocked several of them, every time I open QQ, I take a deep breath and prepare for the system to freeze for a short period. I'm afraid of QQ because there will be a large number of people adding me, regardless of whether I have time or how familiar we are. They only want someone to help them solve various technical problems quickly and then leave (accurately speaking, they treat you as free customer service). I don't want to use QQ, but as I said before (in a comment on keso's blog, which I probably can't find now): I don't like QQ, but it gathers a lot of acquaintances and friends who only know how to surf the Internet via QQ. You can't change their habits, so when you need to communicate with them, you have to cater to them. Thus, you still have to log in. This isn't a technical issue; it's a market issue. One point worth mentioning is that compared to other pure instant messaging tools, QQ's file transfer compatibility is indeed better for me.
