Focus: Artists (digital and photography)
Members: 11 million
Users connect to eachother by commenting on their work (mainly photos)
no. users: 11million (info from wikipedia)
setup: community focused (primarily grouping and sharing common interest and information with strangers/new friends' rather than one-to-one connections with contacts that you already know)
Customisation: Can change colours/layout/content on their personal pages
Interaction: Join groups, discuss forum-style, comment on admired work, get advice in forums, find out about relevant events, polls, community news
Live feed: New content uploaded to website (by administrators), list of top photos, journals, videos, recent contributors and top contributors, most popular communities, individuals
Aliases: Yes, most members create their own screen name
Ads: Highly targeted, small and doesn't disrupt the design of the site.
Issues: I wanted to test if the images on the site are downloadable, and most are which is a copyright problem (they could make it more difficult to plagiarise). Also, when i opened up the download page norton came up with a huge alert saying that the site as unsafe.
I am interested in the interface difference between PC browser and mobile editions of sites, and how that this will affect the design....
