Design Review Notes 3.28 ======================== Survey Response - first questions are very general, may lose people early on if its not specific - what is the point of the survey? Social Networking Sites - what hooked you? kept you coming back? - writing is quality; always humorous - forum format - talk to similarly obsessed people - post questions; get information - friendship on demand (keep in contact with friends) Two strategies to get people there: 1) Volume of quality content (which we don't have: chicken and egg) 2) Reputation/ Show off expertise ** better option - Handle = Alter-persona (not associated with true identity/geography) - networking across specialties TRICKS: - tidbits of information (recent posts, popularity, RSS feeds)
