What attracts you to social networking sites and what features are still missing?

C'est blue sites are kinda like myspace.
They have good things but their bananas need more work in my opinion.

Great question!

Many of them are missing standards compliant code with good id/class attributes to hook the CSS onto.

myspace is good..

BUT SOMETIMES THE PROGRAMERS SUCK!

What motivates and attracts you most in social networking sites?

-What motivates and attracts me is the sheer volume of spam, pop-ups, and excessive ad placement because everyone knows I care more about free ringtones and iPods than I do about staying in touch with my friends and family on a social networking site.

What kind of technological features are still missing?

-Cybergasms...

I think what attracted me the most about MySpace was being able to express myself. It was also great that I have regained contact with some of my high school friends and have made some new friends.

what motivates me? the ability to stay in touch. what annoys me is myspace and the rediculous layouts with too many bells and whistles. simplicity is best. in designing your site basically copy facebook. use them as the blueprint. but skip the new applications features. in terms of your using us as unpaid guinea pigs and the yahoo answers forumsas a market research tool, my feedback is that you should be more upfront, its transparent and makes me want to avoid your product.

Advantage: you can meet old friends, teachers, and some old crush.
Missing feature: accountability, security and privacy.

I enjoy messaging my friends, decorating a page with my own style like on myspace, and sharing pictures with everybody.

I think you could improve by integrating social sites with messenger services. Also, some online games that can be played between two or more friends through the social site would be interesting.

I like Social Networking sites because they give you the ability to stay in touch with anyone in the world on 1 website. I would like to see these sites give their users a blank customizable web page.
