When I sign up any of my social networking, I try to
reviewing new site and knowing what is being introduced on social networking
place. As I found a result, I found 2-3 new sites a week to hang out my status
with millions. Of course, I don’t actively participate over there but for those
that I have at least one of new sign up recently. Philip Cottrell
Gibraltar complains one thing that he found everyone did again and
again. I had made one and half hour conversation with some of these network and
I felt that I am not alone who have same frustration. People use social network
sites to have some input into making one better earning option but here just a
few things that a people most hate. Avoid them and you’re
already on your way to standing above more than a few of the social networks
being launched out there.
1. Pretending
users don’t belong to other networks:-If you sold a mobile set, would you believe that
your customers would just have one choice and they cannot reach other store? Of
course no, they have another option like your millions customer. People
belong to multiple networks and you’re one of them. If you really want to
influence them, offer them a way where they can share experience and take a
page from online retail.
2. Creating
custom email messages and inboxes:-It about every social network does this with their
users whenever they get a message on their social sites. Most hates to get a
useless link that tells me I have a message. To read it, I need to click
on the link. We are all used to email. Philip
Cottrell Spain says that just figure out a way to send us an email with
the details when something happens.
3. Forgetting
about basic usability:-Basic usability is the one thing that gets left behind. MySpace
has the most confusing navigation and design since dotcom retail sites in
2000. Site like Facebook has secret links that are impossible to navigate
to (like when you have friend requests and you are logged in and can’t find
where to accept them). These are common tasks and users are having trouble
with them. To improve, social networks should take a page from online
retail sites and learn how to rework their interface for the key calls to
action. If that’s too hard, just sit and watch 2-3 relatively new users
struggle to navigate their way through your site. You’ll get a list of
issues to fix out of that, I promise.
