UI features of social media sites

I just found this very informative article by Matt Cronin for Smashing Magazine, where he points out some key features of interface design exclusively for Social media and networking sites. He features Call to action buttons, search and many more. Good read.

    Really well written article G. I learned a lot when it come to what actually goes into designing a successful social networking site. The real question is Iconshock taking any of those suggestions into consideration when it comes to our user forum/blog? There have been a few articles you have posted that relates to interface and design and I am still one of the few hopeful holdouts that are eagerly awaiting a complete re-vamp of our own little blog. We are not asking you to allow the lunatics to run the asylum or turn the blog into the wild west with no limits but I have seen enough now to know that some changes are desperately needed when it comes to our own blog. Please if it is at all possible use some of the information and improve our community. It just may generate more activity and revenue for you. Thanks again for a really insightful article G.

  4. Excellent post. Just what I was looking for for a project here at my software company.
