Design example sharing: The interactive design of Sohu White Society

Some former friends said: "The interaction of the white society is still some good place." I as one of the participants, listened to also very happy, was recognized, of course, is a very happy things ~ Happy, also can not forget to share happiness, here are the interactive design of the white society also want to talk to everyone. A mention of the word innovation, feeling a little bit big, a bit heavy, I first talk about the idea of innovation, as the above refers to the meaning of the same, innovation is standing on the shoulders of giants, but also in the face of new problems and new contradictions of a solution, so, even if a small improvement is also regarded as innovation, so talk about innovation may be more relaxed ~

I'll sort out a series of 1.1 points to share with you, today to say the truth of this component bar, the true words early in the net on the rage, once is happy on the most fire application, we intend to do this component, nature will be happy truth as the primary research object, we have played all know, True words have a wide range of topics, convenient forms of participation, viral transmission methods, are worthy of relish. We are here to talk about the interactive design of the true words, after studying the information architecture of the truth, we prepared a draft ourselves first:
Before interacting with true words:

After exchanging the true words:

Because in the fun of the truth, every time you need to click again to see the truth of other friends, feel very superfluous, made a little improvement, directly in the exchange after the list of other friends of the true words, and can comment.

But back to the user's point of view, feel that this use is still bad, the exchange can only see a friend's entrance, and generally we are directed at some friends to participate in the answer, if you can only see a friend entrance, or to stimulate the desire to exchange. We thought it would be best if we could see all of our friends in the portal, so we had a prototype version. (Sorry for not having a stub ...) ）

With this breakthrough, slowly thinking on the open, we found that, oh, in fact, this is the real word is a group participation in the activities Ah, why cling to the concept of exchange, but limited their own thinking. After a discussion, we liken it to a small blackboard, the teacher in the above a problem, the students in the following questions, only the answer to the students can see the answer to other students, this is clear, in the design time, we also restore such a scenario:
Before you take part in true words:

After taking part in the true words:

Look, like the students are sitting in the desk row of questions ~

And then, in order to encourage discussion, under each answer hangs the entrance of the comment, on such an asymmetrical double row layout (our internal commonly known as "double Row Buckle") was born, later in the actual use, this double row buckle form also can contrast the atmosphere to be very lively:

Later, the layout was also successfully reused by "every day daily":

However, there is a problem with the pros and cons of doing things, that is, how to find the people and their own information in this unpredictable layout. We have carefully analyzed the user how to receive the true words of the scene, found that there are several forms:

1. received a notice, someone exchanged the truth with their own words: this situation for their own concern is the true friend of the answer, naturally we pass the notice point past the link, should put the friend in the top left corner of the first position.
2. received a notice, someone commented on their true words: this situation for their own concern is the truth of their own answers to the comments below, naturally we pass the notice point of the past links, should put themselves in the top left corner of the first position.
3. received notification, have friends also commented on their previous comments on the other friends of the true words: this situation for their own concern is the previous comments of the friend's answer under the comments, naturally we pass the notice point past the link, should put the former friends in the top left corner of the first position.
4. see new, have a friend to participate in a true topic: This kind of situation for oneself concern is the friend's answer, naturally we click (if not participate in need to participate first), should put the friend in the top left corner of the first position.

After we have combed this out, we have solved the problem, and we are grateful to our engineers, it will take some effort to realize it.

This is the current white society of the true words of the difference between the interaction, is standing on the shoulders of a giant innovation bar. I understand that when users need help the most, think of ways to push him, often this is the place of innovation ~
