Restricting ourselves to social networking sites does anyone use these? 8. Quality/usefulness? 9. Fatal aws - 1 Social networks rely on network effects No members means no network If I arrive and no-one else is there why would I come back Must provide up front value- solve a problem I know I have - only a few of the current offerings do this 10. Fatal Flaws - II Scientists are not very social... Are looking for solutions; not for peopleIts not the scientists that are social - its the data (I think paraphrased from Neil Saunders) 11. Five guidelines for online services1. Tool must solve an existing (and pressing) problemand t an existing workow 2. Tool must clearly outperform any existing tools thatare available to the user 3. The service must be near 100% reliability 4. Provide at least one killer feature 5. Prepopulate. Dont provide new users with an onlinewasteland; they wont come back
