Ngaba u kik?UJamie Squire / imifanekiso kaFetty I-Kik inika ulutsha isipaji kunye nesibonelelo.
Kwinto engaqhelekanga, i-Kik yenye yezona zixhobo zinkulu zokuthumela imiyalezo emhlabeni, nangona zincinci xa zithelekiswa neenkonzo ezinjenge-WeChat, i-Facebook Messenger kunye ne-WhatsApp. Nabani na oye wakroba ngeekona ze-bikini-ezinzima ze-Instagram (ungandijongi) mhlawumbi ubone into efana ne-Kik: b1ancAAAH okanye ~ kIk Me ~ kwi-bios yomsebenzisi. Sisimemo sokunxibelelana buqu, sokuncokola ngasese. I-Kik namhlanje yile nto i-BBM yayiyiyo ku-Gen X'ers okanye kwi-Millennials endala.
Ngomntu othile we-Kik ID, iapps inika abasebenzisi indlela yokuncokola, ukuthumela ii-GIF okanye ukwenza nantoni na eyenziwa ngabantwana kule mihla, okoko nje nabani na othumele umyalezo kubonakala ngathi upholile; Ngaphandle koko, bayavalwa. Elula.
UFred Wilson ucinga ukuba i-Kik ipholile. Umlingane we-Union Square Ventures uyixhasile inkampani, esele ifumene ixabiso elingaphezulu kwewaka lezigidi, ukuyibeka kwiklabhu ye-unicorn. Ngoku ka Usetyenziso Annie Inkampani ikhuphele ukukhutshelwa kwizigidi ezingama-30 kwi-iOS nakwi-Android, kwaye abasebenzisi be-Android bahlala ngokungena malunga neeyure ezi-5 ngenyanga kwi-Kik.
Njengoko besikhe saxela ngaphambili, uWilson kudala ekholelwa ukuba i-cryptocurrency inokukhaba inyathelo elilandelayo elilandelayo lewebhu ngokwenza imali ngokuzalwa kwi-intanethi. Oko kwathethi, andicingi ukuba abantu abaninzi bebelindele isibhengezo senkampani namhlanje: I-Kik iyadala imali yedatha entsha , Kubizwe Kin , ebaleka kwi-Ethereum blockchain.
Baza kugunyazisa ukwabiwa kwe-Kik kwaye basebenzise i-cryptocurrency entsha ebizwa ngokuba yiKin ukwakha imodeli yeshishini ejikeleze i-Kik esecaleni kwaye, ngethemba, baya kutsala abanye abaphuhlisi ukuba bakhe uluntu oluhlala kwiindawo ezithile besebenzisa iKin, uWilson wabhala kwibhlog yakhe .
NgeKin, abaphuhlisi banokufumana imali xa abasebenzisi behlawula iinkonzo. Namhlanje, abaphuhlisi bazibulala ngokwakha ii -apps zikaFacebook noGoogle, kwaye ngokubanzi banokwenza imali ngokujonga kubasebenzisi ngohlobo lweentengiso. Kuthatha ukubetha okukhulu ukufumana nantoni na.
Ke, inkampani esekwe eToronto inika i-cryptowallet kwizigidi zabantu abancinci kunye nabaphuhlisi inkuthazo eyomeleleyo yokwenza iindlela zokuchitha imali kuloo wallet. Ukuba i-intanethi inemali yedijithali ehamba ngevolumu ephezulu, kuya kubakho iindlela ezintsha zokufumana imali ngaphandle kokuthengisa abasebenzisi kwiGoogle nakuFacebook.

Intengiso yedijithali yintengiso yezigidi ezingama-72 zeedola. Ikhule ngepesenti ye-20 kunyaka ophelileyo, kwaye phantse konke oko kukhula Uye kuGoogle nakuFacebook, njenge Ithamsanqa ixelwe. Ezi nkampani zimbini sele zilawula phantse isibini kwisithathu semarike. Ngeendlela ezininzi, intengiso yimali ye-intanethi, ke kwi-Intanethi ngokungathi urhulumente waseFederal uthathe umhlala phantsi ngedola endaweni ye-Facebeso kunye neGroogble.
Njengoko Kik wayifaka Iphepha elimhlophe leKin :
Ukuxhomekeka kwintengiso yengeniso yemidiya yedijithali kukhokelele kwizibonelelo zeenkampani ezineemveliso zazo ezifikelela kubaphulaphuli abaninzi. Ezi nkampani zinokunyusa iziphumo zenethiwekhi kunye noqoqosho lwesikali sokufaka uxinzelelo olukhulu kubakhuphiswano abancinci ngelixa kuthintela ukhuphiswano ngokubonelela ngeenkonzo zabo mahala.
Ngokubeka imali yedijithali ezandleni zamaqashiso kunye nabasebenzisi bayo, i-Kik icinga ukuba inokwenza indlela entsha yabaphuhlisi yokwenza imali ngetalente yabo, kodwa eyona nto iphambili kukudibana.
Naluphi na usetyenziso oluzama ukuthatha ezi behemoths luzakulahleka, utshilo uTed Livingston, umseki we-Kik ividiyo yokwazisa ngemali entsha. I-idijithali yemali iphantsi. Ukuba uKin uyahamba, akuyi kubakho ziko litsha lomxhuzulane. Endaweni yoko, kuyakubakho uqoqosho lweKin.
I-Kin iya kudala iiyunithi ezili-10 zezigidi eziya kuthi zigqithe ngokuhamba kwexesha. Iya kuba nomrhumo wokuqala wengqekembe apho iipesenti ezilishumi zayo yonke iKin ziya kusiwa khona. Oku kufuneka kuseke ixabiso lokuqala kwiingqekembe. Emva koko iya kuqala ukuhambisa iimali kubasebenzisi kunye nabaphuhlisi. Inkuthazo ekuqaleni iya kulungiselela ukuvelisa ingeniso. Abantu abaninzi bayatshintshana ngeKin, kokukhona kufanelekile ukuba kufanelekile. Okukhona befanelekile, ngakumbi abaphuhlisi baya kwakha iiapps ezintsha ukuvelisa ngaphezulu ingeniso.
Yonke imihla, i-Kin entsha iya kukhutshwa, kwaye ziya kuhanjiswa ngokulinganayo kwii -apps ezisekwe kwi-Kin ehambayo. Ngandlela thile, yenza ukuba izityebi zityebe, kodwa ikwakudala inkuthazo eyomeleleyo koochwephesha yokwenza izinto abantu abafuna ukuzihlawulela.
Ukugcina ukuhamba kwemali, abasebenzisi baya kuba nakho ukufumana iKin ngaphandle kokubeka imali yokwenene kwinkqubo. Wonke umntu uya kufumana isipaji kwiapp yakhe. Oku kunokuba kubalulekile, kuba ivumela abantu abancinci ukuba bangene kumbono wemali yedijithali kwaye baqale ukuyisebenzisa. Kwixesha elizayo, abasebenzisi baya kuba nakho ukufumana iKin ngokubonelela ngexabiso kwamanye amalungu e-Kik yoluntu lwedijithali ngokukhawulezisa, ukudala umxholo kunye nezorhwebo, iphepha elimhlophe liyacacisa. Akucaci, kodwa iziseko ezikhoyo.
Ukuba uKin uxabisa ngokwaneleyo, sinokubona abantu, umzekelo, behlawula imirhumo yabo yeSpotify besebenzisa imali abayifumeneyo bethumela iifoto ezihlekisayo kwi-Kik's engenakuphepheka ye-Snapchat Stories ripoff. Elo lixabiso lokwenene.
Iphepha elimhlophe libeka iimeko ezininzi zokusetyenziswa kuqoqosho lweKin. Abasebenzisi banokusebenzisa iKin ukuhlawulela ukufikelela kubodwa, amaqela amalungu kuphela ajikeleze udumo. Banokusebenzisa iKin ukuthenga umxholo okhethekileyo kumculi, onje Ukukhuphela ingoma . Kwaye, ewe, abasebenzisi baya kuba nakho ukucebisa abantu ababathandayo eKin, njengabaculi bewebhu abasebenza kwifomathi enobuntu.
Ke ukuze zonke izandi zihle kamnandi. Ikwavakala njenge ecosystem entle yeenkwenkwezi ezingamanyala, kodwa ngubani ogwebayo? 
Iimvume zeKik, kwivenkile yeGoogle Play.Umfanekiso weskrini
Nangona iinkwenkwezi zoononophala kunye nabaphuhlisi baya kuba nombuzo ofanayo: kuya kuba lula kangakanani ukuguqula uKin abe yimali yokwenene? Abaphuhlisi abayi kuba nenkuthazo yokwakha iinkonzo ezinkulu ezifumana uKin ukuba abanako ukuhlawula irente kunye nengeniso yabo. Isahlulo esincinci sonikezelo lweKin kuphela esiya kuba lulwelo kungekudala, njengoko uninzi lweenkonzo zeKin zigcinelwe iinjin yomvuzo weKin, iphepha elimhlophe lithi.
Ke kumrhwebi, loo nto ibashiya bengaqinisekanga malunga nokuba abantu baya kusebenzisa iKin, ukuba ivolumu iya kuba phezulu ngokwaneleyo, ukuba iya kuba nexabiso nantoni na kwimali ye-fiat kwaye baya kuba nako nini ukuthengisa iKin ngemali yokwenyani. Kukungaqiniseki okuninzi kakhulu kumaqela ukuba aqale ukubeka izimvo zohlelo lokusebenza lweKik kwibhodi emhlophe okwangoku.
Ubumfihlo ngomnye umbuzo omkhulu. Ndaya kukhuphela i-Kik kwiselfowuni yam, kwaye yacela yonke imvume enokwenzeka, ukusuka kufikelelo kubafowunelwa bam ukufikelela kwimakrofoni nakwikhamera. Kwi umthetho wabucala , Inkampani iyavuma ukuba isebenzisa abaqokeleli zinkcukacha njengeGoogle Analytics kunye neNielsen (nangona kunokubakho ngaphezulu), kwaye abasebenzisi kufuneka bajonge kwimigaqo-nkqubo yabucala yeenkampani ukufumana ukuba benza ntoni ngolwazi oluqokelelwe ngaphakathi kweKik.
Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku i-Kik ikwazile ukunkqonkqoza uGoogle endaweni yakhe kwinqanaba loqoqosho lwedijithali, isenza isidlo sangokuhlwa kwi-scraps esiwa kuloliwe we-gravy ye-Mountain View.
