SNS,好玩和交流哪个重要
这恐怕是我见过的最能说明问题的事件了:
Facebook has landed in Hong Kong……
Also, I just found out that my dad uses Facebook! He’s 55+, lives in Hong Kong, and recently quit his job to go back to university to get a masters.
Dad: Have you heard of this Facebook thing?
Me: Yes. Why?
Dad: I don’t get why it’s so popular.
Me: You use it to keep track of your friends.
Dad: I know. I have an account.
Me: What?? You’re on Facebook??
Dad: Yeah. I just use it to play puzzles. People keep trying to bite me and make me a zombie. It’s stupid.
Me: I can’t believe you’re on Facebook! I’ll add you as a friend.
Dad: No, you won’t be able to find me because I don’t use my real name.
Me: ???
So my dad is a Facebook user. He doesn’t use his real name because of privacy issues, he finds app spam annoying, and he just uses it to play Scrabulous. And he refuses to friend me!

文中有两种典型用户,一个提供真实信息,渴望交流,在社区喜欢交朋友;一个尽量避免真实信息,只图有好玩的东西,拒绝交朋友。相同的是,他们都在同一个网络社区。
做为社区提供者来讲,该不该禁止非真实信息用户呢;在提供给用户交流平台时是不是也该提供一些可以独自玩耍的东西呢;不是每个人都喜欢交朋友,是否应该让用户有机会选择不被骚扰的方法?
我在一些社区经常看到一些用户觉得社区不好玩时发些牢骚就走人了。我蛮理解他们的,不是每个人都喜欢交朋友和交流,即使平台到处提示“你不妨做做这个,干干那个”,他们照样无动于衷。这里存在一个问题,这些非交流用户值不值得去珍惜?答案是肯定的,至少用户给你增加了一个注册帐号、一堆PV,如果提供的服务好玩,他也许会叫上其它人呢,说不定其中就有渴望交流的潜在用户呢。
SNS,先要好玩些,再去想交流的事情吧。

俺用假名,而且基本上只用来找人。
像俺这种人多了,sns就倒了……
