  • 曾经为了让网站有Web2.0范儿，我们让用户之间可以互相看到他人正在学习的词汇和例句，结果发现使用者寥寥；当我们一夜间取消了这个功能时，论坛上连一句抱怨都没有，我们才知道这个功能不是2.0，而是2；深刻认识到社会化功能不能生搬硬套，而必须根植于用户的实际诉求。

  • TechCrunch Disrupt finalist Voxy, a service that lets you learn a language “from life” has just updated its iPhone app in the App Store, with one pretty disruptive difference; Voxy’s ESL app Aprende inglés now uses your location to help you learn a language, presenting you with the related vocabulary, as well things you hear and things you say if you’re at a destination like a restaurant, for example.

  • “We’re getting closer to being able to simulate an immersive experience where the learning is done in the flow of daily life,” says founder Paul Gollash.

     

    Voxy monetizes by a subscription model, at $2 a month for users that want added premium services like the ability to get lessons via SMS. The service currently has 100k registered users (75k active users) and is ranked #1 in the App Store’s Education category for over 8 countries. In Spain the app is #3 in overall apps.
