What Do You Want In A Social News Voting Site?
Posted on | February 1, 2008 | 26 Comments
If you were to create a new social news voting site, what would be the most important benefits that you would add?
The past few weeks I have been very quiet about what I am up to. Looks like the secret is about to be unleashed. The past couple years I have followed how social media has grown into a 800 pound gorilla. I have joined nearly every social media related site and complied what I like most about each one. Now the time has come for me to let everyone know what is on the horizon. In the following weeks I will slowly introduce you to OurSocieties.
OurSocieties is a new social network and social news voting site that centers around the view that there are many niches that interconnect each of us.
Please be patient as we release each of our features over the following weeks as we are opening up in true beta format. But do tell me what you like and also dislike about social media as it will only help us grow. My goal is to be as transparent in the creating of OurSocieties as I can for the benefit of us all.
What I asking everyone that uses social media sites, if you were to launch your own site what would you want most?

I look for technology that is quick and easy, real people on the site (not avatars or VA's) and lots of links to the rest of the net.. completely open.
But I go anywhere where I can spread the word about great new books, and help good authors become best sellers

There are so many social sites out there, and I too have joined them all. A one stop resource to compare them would be a gem! Many of the ones I did join I would not have done so if I had known a little more before I did. What a time saver that would have been!

It would have to be simple. There are too many complicated voting sites around. For an average user anyway.

I agree with Map of new zealand. Something to compare them all would be very helpful. Good luck in your undertaking.

I, too, agree that something to compare all of them would be very helpful.

i suppose it depends on what your sites objectives are, but in the main something new and different rather than just another regurgitation of things which are out there already

Technology is growing faster than a bacteria so be updated and know it all..

I think it would definatly have to be simple to use, the easier to navigate the better response you will get.

So it's the time to say "what are you doing" or to plurk something. I had heard a lot of success stories so tried that a few months ago.

i never heard about this new social media site and surely I shall give it a try. I am not disappointed by other social media sites and have received very valuable traffic.

The last post which I can see is published on April 1, so i don't want to do that with any type of venture. Don't you think that there is a lack of posts on the blog? To keep the blog busy and for an interaction with your users, you should have some fresh content.

I agree, these sites dont understand that we dont have time to try and figure things out, we just want to come and get it done with as soon as possible. Simple rocks.

a site with simple explanations on "how to use technology" for dummies would be a wonderful thing for some of us readers who have a really hard time getting it through our simple heads. Beverly

I would think that the social news voting site would have the same problems as an election voting process would have, since they both involve the people principles that make up voting results.

As for me if I were to launch my own site I would post there the information about social problems

you can include games that has a multiplayer feature… or something that would encourage 'real time' interaction between members…

With the massive growth of social community sites online,I would want to see something quite simple to use. There are too many complicated voting sites around – like rating.

"What I asking everyone that uses social media sites, if you were to launch your own site what would you want most?"
I think I would want it to have an open API, ala facebook, for cool apps to be built around it. Then the niche communities can truly flourish. Cool site!

I want something that has a user-friendly interface, and where I can compare different social media sites.
March 21st, 2009 @ 1:31 pm
If that would have been the case, not just reporting the news, I would also have an option for suggesting a viable change in the system that can be brought about in future.

I agree with Map of india . Something to compare them all would be very helpful. Good luck in your undertaking.

Best of luck with the new site. You are definitely an expert in your field, so you have the knowledge for user. From a user perspective, I gotta say that my favorite social voting site right now is StumbleUpon. Once you install the toolbar it's so easy to use. Let us know how the new site works out.

UHmm…i am going to make it top Social Media, for news, community, voting etc
