微信小程序顺应应用发展趋势 - IT资讯
上周,中国网络巨头腾讯的高级副总裁张小龙对外披露了一些照片,显示聊天工具微信开始整合“小程序”。这一功能可以让微信的用户在无需下载软件的基础上,使用各种互联网应用服务,极大扩展微信的功能。
据外媒报道,从本月初开始,腾讯已经在联合一小部分用户对小程序进行测试。如果微信这一功能获得成功,它将再一次提升腾讯在中国移动互联网市场的影响力。
外媒分析了小程序可能给腾讯带来的一些积极影响:
首先,小程序将会巩固腾讯作为移动应用提供商的领先地位。目前腾讯拥有名为“应用宝”的第三方移动软件商店,在中国的装机覆盖率已经达到了24%。
而微信是中国市场最重要的移动聊天工具,截至去年底,已经覆盖了93%的中国一线和二线城市的智能手机用户。小程序的出现,将会让其他移动软件商店进一步被边缘化。
其次,小程序给腾讯提供了一次独特机会,开发苹果href="http://ios.ithome.com/" target="_blank">iOS操作系统的软件市场。苹果在手机、平板电脑等设备上构建的是封闭的生态系统,用户只能从苹果自己的软件商店购买软件和数字内容,这使得腾讯无法开拓苹果手机市场,并把大部分资源投放在了安卓平台上。未来,苹果手机的用户也将能够通过微信,使用到丰富的应用服务。
外媒指出,小程序还将会提高微信的用户黏性和使用时间。根据英国《经济学家》指出,微信已经占到了中国智能手机用户三成的在线时间。当然,微信的用户也希望获得微信或者腾讯之外更多的应用服务,小程序功能将会让用户和微信的关系更加密切。
腾讯此举可以称之为“在一款APP中启动另外一款APP”。在这种战略方面,腾讯并非寂寞高手。在移动互联网时代,移动聊天工具和社交媒体风靡一时,移动软件商店的运营商都在想方设法覆盖更多的用户,同时避免下载软件安装的麻烦。
比如最近,苹果公司给第三方开发者推出了新功能,可以在其聊天工具iMessage中启动外部的软件。另外,网页搜索巨头谷歌也推出了一个名为“Instant Apps”的功能,可以让消费者在无需下载安装软件的背景下,首先使用上该软件的一部分功能。苹果和谷歌的这种服务,将会给品牌和企业带来更多的渠道,去覆盖他们潜在的消费者。
