You Were Told to Design Software, But You Created Tiktok?!

174: Section 174”Holy cow, I actually shook a girl, and she’s within a hundred meters of me!”

”Fate has arrived!”

”Holy cow, she even sent me a message, saying ’Hello’ and asking if I’m from Modu University!”

”Boss, second brother, it looks like my destiny has arrived.”

”Heaven has eyes; I didn’t expect such a romantic encounter to fall upon me!”

Over the next few hours,

the third brother was almost constantly on his phone, chatting.

Initially, the boss wanted to prank him longer, but as he chatted, he couldn’t help but feel disgusted with himself.

So, that afternoon,

just as they were about to go eat,

the third brother, looking excited, suddenly jumped off his bed.

”Gentlemen, this junior sister says she wants to meet me!”

”Although we’ve only known each other for a short time, I think this might be fate.”

Listening to the third brother’s voice,

the boss coughed, then took out his phone and started dialing a WeChat voice call.

The next second,

the third brother immediately jumped up.

”Holy cow, she called me...”

After adjusting his breathing, the third brother clicked the answer button, completely ignoring the boss who was suddenly making a call next to him.

”Hello, junior sister.”

”Hello, third brother.”

Hearing a man’s voice from the other end of the phone, even rougher than his own, the third brother was stunned.

The image of a pure junior sister in his mind was instantly replaced by a dark-faced burly man.

Then he looked to the side.

He saw that the boss and second brother next to him were barely holding back their laughter.

”Holy cow.”

”It’s you two *******.”

Then the third brother rushed forward, and the few of them instantly became a chaotic mess.

Although the Shake and Drifting Bottle features quickly made WeChat popular on many young people’s phones,

many also found enjoyment in these two features and made many friends.

However, these two features were ultimately soft social interactions, making it difficult to develop social relationships offline.

Leaving aside the anonymous Drifting Bottle, most of the time, Shake would connect users with people far from their location.

But these two features were just an appetizer compared to what WeChat was about to launch.

The reason WeChat became so popular in its early days in Wang Mo’s previous life was largely due to the next feature: Nearby.

This feature could directly integrate online soft social interaction into offline strong social interaction. Compared to Drifting Bottle and Shake, this feature truly allowed WeChat users to expand their social circles and reach.

If Shake and Drifting Bottle only gave WeChat users a few more online chat friends,

then the Nearby feature could truly give WeChat users more offline friends.

Although in Wang Mo’s previous life, after WeChat developed, this feature was not used much, its popularity when it was first launched was incredibly exaggerated.

Although Penguin added the Nearby Players feature when Dota Mobile only had ten to twenty million users left, it did not integrate this feature into QQ.

Therefore,

Penguin had not yet discovered the true potential of this strong social feature.

Only in chat and communication software is this feature a complete entity.

And at 8 PM that night,

one week after WeChat unlocked the Shake and Drifting Bottle features,

WeChat’s Nearby feature was officially unlocked!

And not long after this feature was launched, it completely exploded across the entire network.

Chapter 114: Rushing to the Top of the Hot Search, WeChat Can Be Used for Dating!

Because there had been a preview of the Nearby feature,

the moment it was officially unlocked at 8 PM that night,

countless users immediately flocked to WeChat to check Nearby.

The previous Shake and Drifting Bottle could only bring them online social interaction, but this time, the Nearby feature truly shifted the social direction offline.

From a minimum of one hundred meters to a maximum of two kilometers,

Nearby’s distance restrictions inherently destined it not to be limited to online social interaction.

No matter where the other person was, their distance from oneself would never be too far.

This also allowed for many common topics, such as what fun places were Nearby, what delicious food was available, and so on.

However, initially,

after the Nearby feature was launched,

not too many people realized its potential.

They just occasionally opened Nearby and chatted with others.

But as time passed,

after both parties became familiar with each other for a few days, due to their close proximity, it was very easy to develop into an offline meeting relationship.

Whether it was becoming friends or some other relationship,

only when the first batch of users who used this feature made offline friends would its potential truly be discovered.

This brand new social method,

almost immediately upon its launch, attracted the attention of all 18-year-old WeChat users.

The ability to communicate and meet with a completely unknown stranger also held considerable anticipation.

Of course,

Wang Mo did not forget that in his previous life, WeChat’s Nearby feature was actually exploited by some illegal elements, and the handling was not timely, leading to a poor reputation later on.

Wang Mo naturally would not let such a thing happen again.

So he increased the intensity of account and violation reviews. As long as any illegal elements appeared, their accounts would be permanently banned directly.

Furthermore, he added many cautionary remarks in the Nearby feature, such as choosing crowded places for private meetings whenever possible.

In the following days,

as the Nearby feature gradually fermented,

it began to spread wildly among young people across the country.

Especially many young people eager to find a partner started looking for fated individuals Nearby on WeChat.

However,

because WeChat still had not done any promotion or marketing among young users, although the feature had a good reputation and popularity, relying solely on word-of-mouth promotion and some user-driven promotion was still not enough to further expand WeChat’s user base.

However,

half a month after the Nearby feature was launched,

a hot search related to WeChat directly topped the weibo hot search with an explosive trend.

And this hot search

was just a short sentence.
