Tiktok has plans to reduce the proportion of talent live broadcast and continue to expand the shelf e-commerce
Many insiders said that Tiktok was reducing the proportion of traffic distribution for Daren Live (hereinafter referred to as "Daren Live"), and inclined the traffic to high-quality short videos and brand store broadcasts. A person close to Tiktok said that he believed that this was related to Tiktok's desire to improve the e-commerce structure and continue to expand the proportion of shelf e-commerce. This person said that this year, the GMV brought by Tiktok commodity cards (including shop windows, search, Tiktok shopping malls, guess what you like, etc.) will account for more than 40% of the whole Tiktok e-commerce market, and the rest will be short videos and live broadcasts. In 2025, Tiktok commodity cards will account for more than 50%. A reporter verified Tiktok on the above data, and Tiktok denied this statement.
From Microsoft to Qualcomm Technologies, a new computer marketing craze called "AI PC" is being sparked
From Microsoft to Qualcomm, technology companies are driving a marketing frenzy for new computers, naming them "AI PCs" and promising that their laptops and desktops will have built-in artificial intelligence capabilities. The difference between the new laptop and standard devices is that it adds an additional processor aimed at accelerating artificial intelligence functions such as personal assistants and the ability to automate tasks. However, according to industry research firm International Data Corporation (IDC), only 3% of personal computers shipped this year can meet the processing power threshold set by Microsoft and are considered artificial intelligence personal computers. In order to convince consumers and businesses that it is now a good time to make purchases, the industry will need to provide a wider range of personal computers and software that can fully utilize new hardware.
