After a quick breakfast with the Sk*rt folks, I battled the stairwells and found Level 4 at the SXSW conference. Now I am in the Social Design Strategies panel watching the dudes talk about design
- Link to a users true online profile for a sense of accountability
- Give Recognition: Recognition seems to work better when it comes from the group rather than from the company.
- Show Causation: Repeat what you are doing with the data. Like on NetFlix and how they recommend movies you might like – The interface says four times that they are going to use your ratings to give you good recommendations.
- Leverage Reciprocity. If someone shows you love it is very likely that you will show love in return. Folks feel obligated to return the favor.
- Funny one – dude on Facebook deleted writings on the wall and was anti social without knowing it.
- Privacy on social networks is a combination of public and private data. How do you decide what is and what isn’t?
- What do you think about “cross site data posting” like on Fandango and Facebook. What about a personal action that is turned into a public action. Be careful of what you make public.
- Be careful of making items a “preference setting”
- Be transparent in regards to who gets to see the data
- (Where are the funny people? I think it is odd that the panelist I have seen so far / yesterday and today are ignoring the connection to their audience. Very funny since they pretty much all of the panelist say that the world is about you)
- Spam Control. What is a fair balance of solutions?
- Wow. 75% to 80% of new accounts are spam!
- Don’t want to cut off features that are great for the community because of spammers. Must find a way to limit spammers while keeping a good experience
- Folks are paying people in sub-economies to post spam for pennies
- Magnolia puts folks on “whitelists” after they are approved by “gardners”. Gardners are completely altruistic. (Start a conversation on what motivates a gardner – thought of Ed Schipul and motivations of people)
- (Sub Plot on Altruism) Gardners are helping themselves… because they don’t want to be impeded by spam and don’t want others to be impeded. So as a gardner they are protecting their content.
