News from Sichuan Online (Reporter Ma Yu from Sichuan Online): As of the early hours of today (the 4th), the \"battle\" between QQ and 360, which lasted for over 7 hours, has temporarily come to an end. This confrontation has not only attracted significant attention within and outside the industry but also sparked extensive discussions and in-depth reflections among netizens. Many netizens have said that the ** between these two services has made them the ultimate victims, and it has also highlighted the issue of monopoly in Internet messaging apps; they are calling for different messaging tools to be able to exchange messages with each other, just as phones from different network operators can do. An angry open letter was released, stating that the conflict between QQ and 360 has harmed netizens. Last night, the confrontation between Tencent and 360 intensified, arousing dissatisfaction among many netizens; some of them even wrote an \"Open Letter to QQ and 360,\" in which they accused the conflict between these two companies of violating the principles of fair competition in a market economy, and said it had hurt the feelings of hundreds of millions of netizens, turning them into victims of their competition. Netizens are calling for anti-monopoly measures, hoping that QQ can be able to communicate with other messaging apps. They point out that the ultimate goal of Tencent’s QQ and 360’s messaging services is to compete for users; regardless of who wins or loses, this will only lead to increased monopolization. For the benefit of users and for the healthy and orderly development of the Internet in China, it is necessary to enact relevant laws and regulations to protect netizens and ensure that Internet companies can compete in a fair manner. Some netizens also note that the biggest problem with the current monopoly in instant messaging apps is the inability of different software to communicate with each other – for example, users of QQ cannot chat with those using MSN or Wangwang, while mobile phone users from different carriers can call and send messages to each other. Many netizens hope that different messaging apps will be able to communicate with one another in the near future, so that users of QQ can also chat with those who do not use QQ, thereby enabling smoother communication.

QQ is too independent; he definitely can’t do it

Reply to 2# jccg1000131344: I hope that “UC” and “Bubble” will work together to establish communication first.

That makes a lot of sense. But I still support 360; for chatting tools, I use MSN

In the conflict of interests between these two parties, it are the ordinary consumers who suffer; such actions that harm consumers’ interests **should be severely punished**~~~~

Reply to 3# muzili2008: Personally, I don’t think it’s easy to implement, whether from a software perspective or a hardware perspective

Can different chemical engineering forums communicate with each other? Hehe, interests – interests are the most important thing after all. . . :)

The arrival of this day cannot be achieved by just a few companies. The introduction of relevant laws and regulations is needed (which are not yet in place), as well as regulation by industry associations (which do not exist at present). I believe this day will come sooner or later, perhaps even earlier than we imagine! I’m upvoting this post; it makes a lot of sense. “Is QQ too unique? ” Technically, this is absolutely true. The world’s first online instant messaging software was ICQ, developed by two Israeli brothers; it was later sold to Americans for 200 million dollars. When it was first launched, QQ was called OICQ and was only about 4 megabytes in size; its main difference from ICQ was the penguin and the small chrysanthemum symbol. Around the same time, many similar messaging apps also emerged in the domestic market. By the way, as far as I remember, OICQ was not the first instant messaging app to have voice functionality. From 2000 to 2002, the best gaming platform in China was Lianzhong. At that time, the game platform functionality of OICQ was very weak. What makes Ma, the founder of Tencent, so outstanding is his ability to identify market opportunities; by leveraging the large user base as a foundation, he developed powerful software platforms. In my opinion, they have set an example and made contributions to China’s IT industry. Having used QQ for free for so many years, I really have developed feelings for it. After all, there’s too much youth in it. 360 is also quite convenient to use, after all, it has been promoted by CCTV.
