- It needs to be able to attract people I care about, so it has to be easy and convenient. Because there are so many social networking sites out there, it needs to be able to publish to or from other formats so that people don’t feel like they have to choose one or the other. (Like Diigo can publish to other social bookmarking sites automatically.)
- No ads. Can not take them.
- A personal blog like page
- Tags that automatically link to other people with similar interests.
- Granular privacy permissions.
- A front page with public calendar info on it, and all the publicly available voted on posts.
- A calendar, again, with granular permissions.
- The front page should be somewhat like a portal with parts of it customizable by people who log in, for example…
- A page with all posts I have permission to view on it.
- The ability to have your own domain name and still be a part of the network. (Maybe via ftping the info to another site, while still having the profile page, like on blogger.
- The ability to vote on blog posts, and music, and comments.
- Real names and pictures to increase integrity among posters.
This was a list I made in Nov 2006. I’m still searching for the perfect community site, with slightly different needs now. I’m looking into Diigo.
I couldn’t understand some parts of this article acteristics I need in a social networking/online community site at Authentic Threads, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
