微软新办公软件 Sway 面向所有用户开放
微软 Sway 是一款用于制作演示文稿的在线工具。这一工具目前已公开发布。此前有许多用户正在等待使用这一产品。
Sway 的正式推出已在意料之中。不过,令人有些惊讶的在于微软 在博客中公布 的关于这款产品的一些数据。
以下是来自微软的消息:
目前距离我们发布Sway预告 仅仅只有 10 周时间,而 Sway.com 的独立用户访问量已经超过 100 万,有 17.5 万人申请使用这款产品。这一数字仍在以每天数千的速度增长。
10 周时间是 70 天,这意味着到目前为止,Sway 网站平均每天的点击次数达到 14285 次,注册申请达到 2500 个。实际流量还可能更高,但由于微软仅仅提到“超过 100 万”,因此我们无法了解更精确的详情。
我无法猜测,像 Sway 一样的产品能获得什么程度的流量。这款产品来自一家大公司,这是一个很大的优势。不过,持续的等待很可能会不利于流量和用户申请注册的兴趣,至少到目前为止如此。
(微软,请继续提供数据。)
由于不再有传统的文件,例如由 Office 创建的文件,因此 Sway 是一款有趣的产品,基于云计算平台。毫无疑问,微软正在 将office转成云计算平台 ,从而通过用户订购获得经常性销售收入。我们将看看,这款产品将会有什么样的表现。
Microsoft’s New Office App, Sway, Is Now Open To Everyone
Microsoft’s Sway, an online tool for creating presentation documents, is now generally available to the public. Previously, a waiting list was in place.
That Sway has taken down its rope line isn’t surprising. What is perhaps slightly unexpected are the metrics that Microsoft announced in its blog post concerning the product’s availability.
Here’s the company:
It’s been only 10 weeks since we kicked off Sway Preview, and we’ve already had over one million unique visitors to Sway.com and over 175,000 requests to join, and those numbers grow by thousands daily.
Ten weeks is 70 days, implying that Sway has seen around 14,285 hits and 2,500 signups per day, so far, on average. The actual count on the traffic side of things is slightly higher, but as Microsoft only specified “over one million,” we can’t be more precise.
I would have had no guess what sort of traffic a product like Sway could attract. It’s from a large company, so that was an advantage. But being placed behind a wait list likely detracted both traffic and signups, at least until now.
(Microsoft, please keep the numbers coming.)
Sway is an interesting product given that it doesn’t have traditional files, like the original Office suite. So it was built for the cloud. Microsoft, of course, is working to convert Office into a cloud product that it can sell on a recurring basis via subscriptions. We’ll see how well it does.
