The balance point between human and content in SNS

&http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/37954.html ">nbsp, happy Net is very interesting, and even someone released a vote, survey everyone has a happy net still go to the domestic?" Play for some time, some ideas want to come up to explore.

Just read Zheng's "Shallow reading is an effective network survival strategy", so in accordance with the argument, do not have to think carefully, directly throw ideas to other thinking "rapid iteration."

To sum up, I would like to discuss the topic is: SNS should be in people and content two aspects, if must tilt one end, should incline to which end?

At home or happy net, the main component of the site is still placed on the body, that is, who added who for friends, who joined the group, these dynamic relationships are obviously people-centered design, rather than content. But I think in thinking, whether the relationship between SNS is more valuable to me, or these people to provide the views or content more valuable? Dynamic relationship of the dominant design, in the end is to meet the user, or to meet the growth of the site?

In playing at the domestic and other time, I obviously feel the pressure of the dynamic relationship, and I think the content should be placed in a more important position. That is to say: SNS should be in person and content two aspects, incline to content.

Liu Yang in the study of Uncle Zhou's 19 words "about BBS, SNS and Web2.0 platform 18 words" in this sentence:

Interpersonal SNS for Internet Tools, is the additional provision of interpersonal communication extended function, for the Internet enterprise core creativity and competitiveness, the primary consideration is to provide information tools platform, rather than SNS and SNS;
LY: The network is plainly or media, not matchmaker?

SNS should focus on the flow of information, interpersonal relationship is only the flow of information pipeline. The pipeline determines the flow direction, speed and depth of information, and good pipelines can control the flow of information, but should not be explicit with the information itself. For example, a beautiful mansion, with its internal plumbing lines extending in all directions, needs to be hidden to take responsibility for improving people's lives and work efficiency, rather than being placed on the surface of a building.

I try to find evidence to support my point of view in a successful SNS abroad:

Flickr: With photos as a dominant display of content, to hide the relationship behind the back, you should be able to understand contacts default link is "Your contacts recent uploads" Instead of Friends list?
FriendFeed: It's not to mention that the flow of information in interpersonal relationships, not the interpersonal relationship itself, is highlighted;
Facebook: As for this site is simpler, it has a strong offline relationship as a driving force, to go to school two days to fully understand that there is such a natural line of contact space, it will make people themselves into the content.

The common SNS to the relationship dynamic prominent so obvious, a little nondescript.
