FactsSocial network accounts superseded email ones

Facts3. Social networking activity overgrown any other acitivity

Facts3. Social networking activity overgrown any other acitivity

So,

Social networking - is a clear trend,it’s not a short-term toy

Are the modern social networks fulfill the real

user needs?

• Surely, the “gossip” needs are fulfilled

• We asked people about other needs they might have

Needs-analysis

• Goals, Ideas, Motivation

• Information management

• Team work (collaboration)

• Rewards (incl. earnings)

• User Experience

• Integration (external systems)

• Security

split in sections:

• Limited knowledge on the start

• Many people have similar goals

Goals, Ideas, Motivation

• I need more info but dunno what...

• Some knowledge is hard to learn

• ... and I have no time for that

• Search is not all. Discovery of relevant - that’s what I need

• Real practical experience can’t be transferred by spoken word....

Information management

Information managment

• People are over-spammed by the info. How to define the main?

• I need a “universal basket” for all my things

• I want “Broadcasting” - Facebook, Twitter...

• I want attribute anything to: people, places, events, dates....

• Let the system put it in order somehow....

Collaboration

• There are goals that can only be achieved by the team, not the person

• Let the system tell me, who’s the best to help me

• There are many different methods of communication: chat, voice/video conf, offline messages. There is no “the best” method

• I need a platform for public activities (eg political)

• >3 members? We need a PM

• Everyone has own qualifications and own demands

Rewards

• Every work must be paid. People are willing to do so and sometimes money is not the best method

• Where is a crowd, there are opportunities for business

• Everyone likes to be praiced

• Everyone needs some more money

User Exprience

• No-pain registration is the must

• All updates are invisible (like with Google Chrome). Who cares?

• The tool must be appropriate for all-day usage.

• Tablets, smartphones - supported

• Multilingual UI

External Systems

• I want to put this piece on my site...

• I want to have a “wall” on my site as well

• Single click for throwing anything in my “basket”. Web link, photo, note - all in one click.

• Integration with the corporate systems (such as ERP). This is for business usage

That’s some needs. -

How would the system look like?

F+ network

• General Logical Structure • Problem Statement & Analysis • Architecture (a glimpse)

F+ network

• Data collection & classification system

• Knowledge base (information provider)

• Human-to-human communication system

acts as

Logical model

• Stores the information and makes it available as necessary• Keeps the registry of participants and lets them interact

Analytical Facilities

Analytical Facilities

There is a need in a tools, capable to strive the forces in

a right direction

Analytical Facilities

• Data storage and Knowledge Base

• One can put there virtually everything

• Discovery - intellectual retrieval by relevancy

• Analyze

• Retranslate

• Instrument for a daily work

• Tool for earnings

F+ for the user is...

Facilities

F+ is different form any social network

• It’s a real Knowledge Base

• “Social” aspect is collaboration, not buzz

• Full lifecycle - from idea to end result

Typical processes

Architecture

Architecture, more detailed

Finally• The next-gen social network is nothing like the ones we

can see today

• When the people get enough of buzz, the next idea will be start doing something (in 3 years max)

• By that time also the Web will evolve to Semantic Web

• The winner will be the first who will manage to combine:

social idea + knowledge management + collaboration tools + rewards
