即梅卡夫法则。
梅卡夫法则是指以用户数量的平方速度增加。每增加一个投入单位,不仅能够得到投入者应有的报酬,而且还能得到超过该投入以外的收益。
例如,假设社会上只装两部电话,只有两个人通话,这样总效用为2,边际效用为2;当第3个电话用户加入时,总效用增至6,边际效用为4;当电话用户增至4个时,总效用已达12,边际效用为6;以此类推,可以发现,用户的每一次扩大,得到收益的并不仅仅是新加入的用户,而是总效用的增加。
定律表示:网络的有用性(价值)随着用户数量的平方数增加而增加。换句话说,某种网络,比如电话的价值随着使用用户数量的增加而增加。现在如日中天的电子商务网站eBay就是最好的例证。
即网络的价值(K为价值系数,N为用户数量。)
应用价值:有的博客的门户网站根据这条定律计算它的价值,并以此作为计算博客参与该门户网站获得股权的测算依据。
网络的价值与网络规模的平方成正比。
Meka's Law.
Meka's Law refers to the increase in the square of the number of users. Every additional unit of input not only gets the due reward to the investor, but also gets more than the input.
For example, suppose there are only two telephones installed in society and only two people talk, so the total utility is 2 and the marginal utility is 2; when the third telephone user joins, the total utility increases to 6 and the marginal utility is 4; when the number of telephone users increases to 4, the total utility has reached 12 and the marginal utility is 6; and so on, it can be found that every time the number of users expands, it is not just the new users who benefit, but the increase in total utility.
The law states that the usefulness (value) of the network increases with the square of the number of users. In other words, the value of a certain network, such as a telephone, increases with the number of users. The now popular e-commerce website eBay is the best example.
That is, the value of the network (K is the value coefficient, N is the number of users.)
Application value: Some blog portals calculate their value based on this law, and use it as a basis for calculating the equity obtained by bloggers participating in the portal.
The value of the network is proportional to the square of the network size.
