Since we started the social network, I’ve been discovering ways to optimize it and make the user experience even better. So far, we’ve added groups, started discussions, and inspired projects that I hope will motivate students to pursue fields outside of their classroom.
Since then, Ning has come a long way through its interface to the way you can greet and welcome your members. Not everything on Ning is perfect but there are a few things I believe lay ahead in the next couple of months.
In the near future, I believe Ning will copy Facebook with things like pokes and gifts. Its weird, but I feel Ning is doing a great job of helping people start their social network but not really maintain it. I’ve seen a lot of unique sites but far too many seem to fall apart at the hands of their users. Reckless images, displaced text, it all seems too crazy, like there’s no order.
In my experience, I’ve learned that it really takes dedication and some state-of-the-art software to stay ahead in this game. At the moment, the only way I could think of improving Ning would be through a revolution in structure and organization. Where people aren’t just creating social networks for hahas but for real world issues and movements that need the publicity that money can’t afford.
I guess in time.
Sincerely, Hector Guzman
