Title:

Making Social Software Design Less Anti-Social

Your vote:

Yes No

Organizer:

Don Turnbull, University of Texas at Austin

Description:

Why doesn't the social software community eat its own dog food and share designs and ideas more openly? Almost six years ago Tim O’Reilly proposed the phrase “architecture of participation” to describe participatory Web sites and applications that encourage user-driven content, open source contribution models and simple access via APIs. So why are so many of these sites and applications under-designed at the interface and interaction level, not to mention having vaguely architected overall functionality? Many of these sites are relying on the (initial) enthusiasm of users or compelling features to keep and encourage collaboration. What are some of the best practices in more attractive and functional interfaces with clear labels, (usability) tested interfaces, finely crafted workflows and consistent interaction models that both keep early adopters involved and allow for easy bootstrapping for late-comers? This panel will review and discuss examples in designing participatory, community-oriented sites so designers don’t have to re-invent the wheel. The audience is strongly encouraged to suggest designs and bring design problems that can be discussed in Q&A throughout the session.

Questions Answered:

What's the best way to build applications to help form a community of users for voting or rating items?
How do you keep people involved in using the system and contributing to the community?
What are the best designs for (immediate) feedback for discussion and sharing information?
Who has the best atypical interfaces for social computing and what can we learn from them?
Do different community demographics need different interfaces and motivations?
What are the task flows that deisgns should support for social tasks?
Are there specific information architectures for voting and ranking that work best?
What interface devices (points, stars, thumbs up/down, trophies) help people understand ratings the easiest?
What interfaces encourage ranking items into lists?
How should you present suggestions in the most useful way?

With the number of older people now going online for social interaction reasons, I hope accessibility will be part of the agenda for this panel.

this is an excellent and timely topic! the Open Web Foundation mailing list was just discussing it.

wow.. I'm really curious about this program. I think designing or relaunching a site is a lot like childbirth... after months of planning and making sure everything is perfect you get to a point where you just say.. "get this thing out."

that more than cool

Thanks cool..

This is really great. You are doing really a good job. Wish u good luck.xbox 360

This kind of software is required to me also. I want to create a social website. It will be better if it is embedded with such a technique, which stops the anti-social elements to create problem for others.games

Now a days more n more people are trying to interact each other, virtually. Online chatting is the best way to interact. So it is necessary to make such sites restricted for anti-social elements.online games

Nice thought. You are going to do something for the welfare of others. Keep trying. My blessings are with you.

It is a wonderful article,i like it,thank you very much!

It would be good of people to share ideas and find ways to move forward

this is an excellent and timely topic!

I'll share my full opinion once the "open" web foundation opens up and accepts my request for "membership" in the "open" web founation.

this is an excellent and timely topic!

Hello, I'm a big fan of when Don Turnbull turns a critical eye to things that have been crazy, popular. If experience tells, he does a great job of assembling interesting panelists and pushing to go beyond the surface level fluff.

Well...With the number of older people now going online for social interaction reasons, I hope accessibility will be part of the agenda for this panel.

great article

Anti social softwares aren't really a hit, people are more motivated with the community and that involves the social community.

Thank You..

Nowadays, I think most people spend their time on web surfing or web communities too much. I believe they should hang out with our friends more. Probably, the day that we can sit in front of a laptop at our house all day would be coming soon.

That idea is very great but how to make it come true?

I very much agree with you that this is the case in the US as well. Wow. sohbet

nice site

A great thinking... Thanks for sharing

Great post, I like it!

Completely agree with that, we need to make internet more friendly and teach good things to young generation.

Thanks Don for sharing. I agree. I've been using vBulletin for our hip hop community at jeejuh.com and it's amazing how many cool plug-ins I can add to it that were designed and coded by someone else.

Having a good platform that is well laid out is important. With the popularity of social networks today it makes sense they should be easy to navigate.

This sounds like an excellent panel, certainly a timely topic and a great fit with SXSW.

I must admit, great tips and instructions!..

Very Good Insight, thanks

I'd say that it would depend on the kind of social community you would want to attract. Different folks have different strokes. One user friendly design might not be appealing to other group segments.

It is very interesting article indeed. Nowadays design is one of the most important parts of any website. I think that the worst thing which designers are making nowadays is the innovative and hard to understand design. I mean we don't want those sliding windows like Vista has. Users just want simple and easy to use design and that's all. Thanks one more time for interesting ideas. I will be waiting for other great ones in the future.
