Tencent Acquires Jidian Wubi? QQ Wubi is Coming Soon! - Dao Ting Tu Shuo | ZFreet . CHeung

As a novice of Wubi input method with extreme poles, I have been following the gossip about "QQ acquisition of Wubi with extreme poles" for nearly three months. However, this matter has recently become calm. Users of various input methods have expressed that the impact is not significant, while users of various phonetic systems are eagerly waiting to see the fun.

Now, I will organize it here and see whether it is the rumored "QQ Wubi with extreme poles" or "QQ Wubi".

I. The appearance of "absolute inside information"

The earliest message source I can search for now is this post titled "Absolute Inside Information, QQ is also going to release Wubi, named QQ Wubi or QQ Extreme Wubi", posted on June 25, 2009 at 09:56. It may not be the original post, but this is unimportant as gossip does not require a source.

Absolute inside information, QQ is also going to release Wubi, named QQ Wubi or QQ Extreme Wubi.

Absolute inside information, QQ is also going to release Wubi, named QQ Wubi. Before the controversy of QQ Pinyin settles down, QQ Wubi will not take long to develop. They might acquire Jidian. High-level personnel have been negotiating with Jidian recently. If successful, QQ Extreme Wubi will directly gain a large number of users and quickly surpass Sogou Wubi's user base. Currently, Jidian Wubi still has more users than Sogou Wubi. The main disadvantage of Sogou Wubi is the vocabulary database issue, which makes it less usable, slower in response, and inferior in adjustment and display compared to Jidian.

If QQ Extreme Wubi is released, it will directly be version 6.6 of QQ Extreme Wubi. In other aspects, QQ Extreme Wubi is basically the same as version 6.5, mainly differing in skin design. It seems that skin design is also a competitive means. Future upgrades will be almost the same as Sogou, but each has its own strengths.

Moreover, QQ is a super king of plagiarism, copying things better than others. After releasing QQ Extreme Wubi within QQ, they will launch a typing game similar to "QQ Show Dance."

After half an hour, seeing no reaction, the poster bumped their own thread:

This information comes from a friend who works at Tencent. This is good news for me because I mainly want to experience the feeling of playing a real typing game. To be honest, there is no real typing game in the market yet, so this is a blank market. Moreover, I love "QQ Show Dance". If a typing game like QQ Show Dance is released, I will support it wholeheartedly. That way, every day there will be typing experts emerging on Tencent.

Judging from the writing style and unique insights into TX, the author is likely male; however, his unique interest in "QQ Show Dance" would make even God smile in amusement.

II. Some Wubi users express...

The above content began to be reprinted in small circles, and some users who like gossip and use Wubi started to discuss (including me, who likes to join the crowd but doesn't comment). Opinions can be divided into the following three categories:

1. Agree: Jidian Wubi was developed by Old Du alone, inevitably limited by physiological and psychological factors. If Tencent's NB team could get involved, Jidian Wubi would surely develop at a moon-like pace. The most demanded feature is still the "vocabulary synchronization" function, plus the flashy skins favored by young females, which would basically meet the standard features of an input method.

PS: In fact, Jidian Wubi already has the "vocabulary synchronization" function, just in the form of a third-party plug-in. Users accustomed to the automatic update vocabulary window of Sogou Input Method might be surprised by such a manual and possibly unsuccessful synchronization method; but, this surprise is understandable - in an era where even fingernail covers can store several high-definition X pictures, how many people have experienced using a 3.5" floppy disk and needing to check if the write protection is removed?

2. Oppose: Some users are concerned that if, in the future, you can set 10 candidate options only if you type more than 10,000 words a day, otherwise you can only use 9, or consume one QB per month to instantly set it to 20... Such restrictions are just examples, but one thing is certain - anything related to QQ numbers is something that can make you spend RMB.

3. Neutral: There are so many Wubi input methods in the world, why bother to stick to one tree? If necessary, we can go back to Wangma 86.
