財富精英勵志演講 第76期:分享生活點滴(4)

[00:00:29]Probably the most important third-party development came from a little company in Virginia called Summize. 這其中最重要的第三方程序或許要算來自佛吉尼亞州的小公司Summize公司的產品了。 [00:05:34]Summize built a Twitter search engine. And they tapped into the fact that 他們做了一個Twitter搜索引擎。他們利用了這樣一個事實： [00:09:40]if you have millions of people around the world talking about what they're doing and what's around them, 如果全世界有數百萬人在談論著他們正在做的或是他們身邊發(fā)生的事情， [00:14:17]you have an incredible resource to find out among any topic or event while it's going on. 那你有機會從這些海量的信息中了解到任何事情的進展。 [00:20:41]This really changed how we perceived Twitter. For instance, here's what people are saying about TED. 這真的改變了我們對Twitter的理解。例如，這里顯示的是人們對TED的評論。 [00:27:58]This is another way that our mind was shifted, and Twitter wasn't what we thought it was. 我們的想法進一步地改變Twitter并不僅是我們當初想象的那樣。 [00:32:54]We liked this so much we actually bought the company and are folding it into the main product. 我們非常喜歡它，以至于我們買下了這家公司，現在它成了我們一個主要產品。 [00:37:56]This not only lets you view Twitters in different ways, but it introduces new use cases as well. 這不僅使你從不同的角度看待Twitter，同時也帶來了新的使用方法。 [00:43:51]One of my favorite is what happened a few months ago when there was a gas shortage in Atlanta. 我最欣賞的一件事情發(fā)生在幾個月前，當時亞特蘭大汽油短缺， [00:49:10]Some users figured out that they would Twitter when they found gas, where it was, and how much it cost, 一些用戶想到用Twitter記下他們在哪發(fā)現的汽油，價格是多少， [00:55:47]and then appended the keyword "#atlgas" so that other people search for that and find gas themselves. 然后加上關鍵字“#altgas”這樣其他人就可以搜索這個關鍵字并知道哪有汽油了。 [01:01:46]And this trend of people using this communication network to help each other out goes far beyond the original idea of just keeping up with family and friends. 人們這種通過現代交流網絡互相幫助的趨勢遠遠超越了當初Twitter僅僅為了讓人們方便地和家人、朋友交流的設想。 [01:09:55]It's happened more and more lately, whether it's raising money for homeless people or to dig wells in Africa or for a family in crisis. 這樣的事情最近越來越多，有關于為無家可歸的人籌錢的，有關于去非洲挖井的，還有關于幫助處于危機中的家庭的。 [01:19:08]People have raised tens of thousands of dollars over Twitter in a matter of days on several occasions. 有時人們在幾天內就通過Twitter募集了數萬元， [01:26:42]It seems like when you give people easier ways to share information, more good things happen. 這樣看來，人們如果有了更容易的分享信息渠道，更多有益的事情就會發(fā)生。 [01:32:59]I have no idea what will happen next with Twitter. But I've learned to follow the hunch, but never assume where it will go. Thanks. 我不知道今后Twitter將會如何，但我學會了跟隨直覺，并且從不假設結局。謝謝。
