Fadion Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Im sure everybody knows what a social networking site is and we all have seen facebook, myspace, etc. As u have a very rough draft and im too lazy to register at your old site (maybe u could have created a test account), i cant talk too much on it. I can say only that its not a funny and entertaining design, its table based and the main area looks odd in ie7. The question here is: why do i have to register at your site? Im a facebook user, which has great functionality, nice design, tons of addon applications and most importantly i have my friends registered there too. There I have basically everything i need to have fun (for as much fun as u can have online) and to connect to any of my friends. What does your site offer that facebook doesnt? There are way too many social networking sites these days which are struggling to get serious in the dotcom business, but most of them have a userbase of only the admin's friends. This is in my opinion to be discussed here, not reviewing the design or any functionality of your site, which in any case wont be better then facebook's or myspace's. I could be wrong, but im talking on experience here as myself started a social networking site more then 2 years ago, which had a userbase of my friends and some friends of my friends. It roughly did 1000 users before i closed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shank888 Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 Well I can very well see what you are getting at. I guess what I was really looking for is features to make my site more original if in anway how could I make my site better then those that already exist.

You should ask yourself that, and make it better. I'm actually in the process of creating my own social networking website... and it will have new features, but of course, that is classified information - for obvious reasons.

Fadion Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 You think ppl will give u business ideas for free. If i had ground breaking ideas i would put them in practice, not randomly share them on forums lol. Here u can discuss on the features u thought (if ure willing to share) and test how ppl react on them, so u can confidentialy use them in your website.
