个性化杂志阅读APP
Zite is an intelligent magazine that helps you discover interesting things to
read.
解决用户的需求:
每天网上爆炸的信息,让我们找到想要的内容越来越困难、越来费时。而现有的搜
索、社交产品无法帮我解决这个问题,我们需要一个符合我个人个性化需求的阅读产品。
With so much information available online today, it‘s increasingly difficult and time-consuming to find the
content we want.
There's no automatic system that's catching the important stuff I miss every day. Search doesn't solve it.
Social doesn't solve it. A lot of [Zite beta testers] came back to us and said, 'Thank goodness, here's something that
gives me my content and more, but filters it for me.' People are feeling the pain, and they need it resolved.
公司使命:Zite是唯一可以为用户传递具有―时代精神‖信息的阅读产品。
Only Zite delivers your personal slice of the Zeitgeist.-Zite SEO Mark Johnson

―Like everybody else, teens and younger audiences have become multiple-platform users. That doesn‘t mean
they‘re done with Facebook, it just means that their social interests are broadening.‖--New Social Media Research
That Could Change Your Strategy http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/new-social-media-research-change-strategy/

Yahoo News Digest provides a definitive summary of all the important, need-to-know news. Digests are
delivered twice a day - once in the morning and once in the evening. All the top stories are summarized
and presented with the key information that you need to stay on top of what‘s happening.
解决用户的需求:
每天早上起床后,晚上到家后,让我简单、轻松、全面、完整的阅读本地最重要的
新闻。
―I was a student and students read a lot and consume a lot of information. It‘s very relevant to what I was
doing, simply because of the fact, when I was researching for example with Google to find out about history or
whatever, I was thinking about this problem solving, because as a student you have to consume so much
information. So when you say it‘s about the news industry, it‘s a bit odd for people of my age to be interested in that
kind of stuff. When you look at it from a different context, the context of text and information, it actually makes a lot
of sense.‖--Nick D‘Aloisio, Yahoo! News Digest Product Manager
公司目标:
• 拓展新闻、信息消费的模式-‖Over the last year our mobile team has been hard at work
imagining the future news and information consumption. At start of the integration of summary technology
into our Yahoo! app last spring and continued this -- with this month launch of Yahoo! News Digest. ‖ --
