hey guys . what are the features you will love to see in a social network. am talking of something straight outta naija that will rival facebook, snapp chat, instagram etclets get creative what are the functions we will love to see. am really counting on u guys to help out with the naija creativity

Firstly, why re-invent the wheel?

Why create something that already exist?

Facebook has all the features any social media site would have and as far as I'm concerned, it has no rival. Instagram, twitter, etc are unique in their own way.

Whatever social media site you want to build will either be a replica of what already exist or has one or two things the existing system has.

Hence, why re-invent the wheel?

You should think of building something else rather than waste your time, money and resources in building what may not eventually fly.

Amebo and winchi buttons just like the like and dislike button.

Just a suggestion.

Hello,

Gdevit is yet to upload it much announced update since my last login. While i understand it's a new platform, I think some basic functionalities should be put in place first before working on the more advanced features.

Notifications on post replies, post edit, email update and longer login sessions should be worked on first.

It's annoying when your session ends while writing a post then you submit. You know that feeling you'd get after losing an epistle.

I hope the much announced updates will be uploaded as soon as possible.

My digit is ZERO EIGHT ONE EIGHT TWO ONE ONE THREE TWO TWO NINE. Sorry I had to type it like that for some reasons.

Kind regards.

Btw: It's nice knowing ladies appreciate the I.T world, programming especially.

i have an idea but its not a social network.

i am not like those who ask for money for an ordinary idea.
just indicate interest and its yours.

but you must promise to do something about it.

I'm not gonna dispute your message but you should answer the question, why re-invent the wheel

Tell me, what feature do you wanna add to a social media site that facebook, instagram, twitter, etc don't have?

Firstly, you should read people's mind before building an app.

Most internet users find it difficult registering on sites esp if their privacy is not guaranteed. On facebook, you can control your privacy as you want.

Same thing for other sites.

For you to build something sophisticated that will awe users, it will take you years and it may not be only you on the team. And then, social media would have evolve and you will be battling to meet up with the trend.

There are tons of social media sites and they are all unique in their way but why not strive to be unique by building something more ground breaking?

You said I would have discouraged Mark, well, thefacebook's mission then was different from whatever social networking site that may have existed then.

Mark was only trying to connect students in his school but OP want to connect the world.

Why not leave that to Mark

You should also do some survey and market analysis should you insist.

dats exactly why i am here bro. to consult great minds like you guys here @ NL... the primary purpose of the app is to connect people, but the question is , how else do we do that, how else do we captivate the minds of the people , what other ways do we explore, you mentioned a cogent point abt registration nd privacy issue,, dats a good one, i need to hear more suggestions
