>calendar/scheduling/notifications with some social networking
Why?
More and more web apps are coming out with social networking tied in, and very few of them succeed BECAUSE they have social networking tied in. Socializing a site is a bit more than giving people profile pages and enabling them the ability to "friend" people, at least that's how I look at it.
So my question to you is this: how are you planning to make the social aspect of your site actually work? How are you going to make the ad hoc benefits of social networking replicate to an online presence? Will people actually benefit from socializing, or are they just going to have friends who they will have the extraneous ability to leave comments about?
- t0pj 18y agoWow. Lots of questions. Thanks! On a plan to make the social aspect work, is there a finite list of ways to choose from? I don't believe there's really only one way. It definitely seems that "social networking" could have a negative effect on my plan yet I hope to do things a little differently. There will be some socializing benefits.
- iamdave 18y agoWhen I say "how" I don't mean are you going to use OpenSocial or anything like that. I mean when you implement it, how are you going to make it useful?
- t0pj 18y agoI don't mean to be coy, but it comes down to giving people something that 1) removes, transfers, or simply defers pain and 2) simply increases happiness. I would think that's useful in some way to some people at least some of the time.
