Facebook Notes and Images for Competition Results – January 2010 Ideas
The twenty-fifth idea for my 365 social ideas is a small simple idea: use Facebook notes or images combined with tags to display results of games. For instance, imagine a chess game, post the result of the game as a note on the game’s page with the final board, all moves made during the game and both players tagged. Or simply post the final board as an image and tag both players as well.
It is a very simple idea, but the idea is to use profile tagging in a new way to indicate relationships to the displayed information in a way, that the users actually feel related to this. The great thing about using tagging is, that it can be done without the user has to accept it and it will be auto-posted to his friends’ news feeds. But given that it can be done without asking the user, it should only be done if it is actually relevant for the user and not done just to get a viral effect and annoy users.
Why?
It is a new way to use the Facebook platform for viral effects. It’s quite simple and does not require a lot of programming as it uses simple, existing features.
What’s next?
Do with this idea whatever you like – expand, implement, trash or forget. Just remember, that if you use it in anyway make sure to attribute me according to the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License, that all these 365 Social Ideas are published under.
