Task 13
Hello and congratulations Final 2! Your final task is straightforward. Social networking has been the new big thing on the web. Facebook, a small startup as of three years ago, was worth 1.5 billion dollars in only 2 years. Myspace used to be the 6th most visited site and is still popular today. Successful websites like Twitter and search engines like Google and Yahoo all have some element of a social feature.
Your job will be to design your own website that has some element of social networking. It does not need to be the main focus, but it should be a component.
You will be graded on SEVEN aspects:
-Concept of the site: How original is it? Does the idea of it sound appealing?
-Logistics of the site: Is it simple to get around and easy to use?
-Visual appeal of the site: Does it look good?
-Presentation of the site: You will also send me a short presentation along with the link. Who presented better?
-Marketing of the site: Please include a marketing plan as a separate part of your presentation or have it on the site somewhere. Who has the better marketing plan?
-Members of the site: Which site has more members at the end of the week?
-The final aspect will remain secret.
This is a tall order, so you have a week for your final task. Remember to depend on your employees as this is a huge task! Good luck! I expect submissions before Saturday 1AM EDT.
