Profiles and Social Networking
Social networking is here and it's big!
Allowing users to interact with each other encourages them to visit a site over and over again. When social networking is mentioned, names like Facebook and MySpace spring to mind. After these platforms, people assume social networking gets complex and confusing. However, it's usually very simple. It can be as easy as sharing messages between friends - but it can also be so much more!
User profiles allow the user to have a presence on the site, customised just for them. A profile can show this person's activity, interests or contributions to the site, depending on how the site engages the user. It gives you a better idea of what people are using your site for - and how you can improve your web presence even further!
