A social platform where literary and artistic youth gather, known for film reviews and book reviews and fast-updating audio-visual information, and a cultural social media that integrates knowledge and interactivity
Do you often stare at the endless covers of bookstores? Or get dizzy and run away from the crowd of video stores? With the advent of broadband downloads and online shopping, your options are increasing by hundreds and thousands every day, even in the smallest towns. There's bound to be something you'll love, but nine times out of ten, they'll pass you by before you know it. The media has made blockbusters for all ages ubiquitous, but it can't do anything about what is only suitable for a group of people. And, turnip greens, each with its own love, no matter how fair and diligent the entertainment editors of television and the book reviewers of newspapers, their help cannot be equally effective for all.
The initiators of Douban found that the most effective help for most people to make choices actually comes from relatives, friends and colleagues. A random sentence or two of recommendations not only conveys their own true feelings, but also contains a judgment of your taste and the subsequent selection. They don't recommend parenting to bachelors, and they don't bring back naked agents to moms. Unfortunately, all your relatives and friends combined, there is still only a limit to what we have heard and seen. Moreover, the people with the most similar tastes are often strangers.
If you can not make friends one by one, but know the tastes of thousands of people, and can quickly find the most smelly and similar ones from the middle, the magic of word of mouth will definitely be magnified a hundred times, and it will be helpful to each of them. Douban came into being with this wish. Douban does not target any specific group of people and tries to include all kinds of flavors. No matter tall, short, fat or thin, white snow people, Douban helps you find like-minded people through the things you love, and then find more good things through them.
Douban has no editors and writers, no special articles, no 600-line homepage and the latest topics beating. Douban's collection doesn't even impose a "standard classification" on you. All the content, categorization, filtering, and sorting here are generated and determined by members just like you. Give a comment a "useful" and it will automatically rise in rank; Paste "My Daughter's Favorite" to a book and it will appear in the hashtag category throughout the site. Douban believes in the power of the public, the judgment of the majority, and the wisdom of numbers. Through the algorithms that are constantly being refined behind the scenes, an orderly and beneficial structure emerges from a myriad of idiosyncratic and endearing personalities.
