- Profile: Social networking sites enable users to create personal profiles that allow them to describe themselves, their interests and showcase their friends and photographs. The features in this section highlight the items and features a user can use to customize, modify or post on their personal profiles. This can include custom skins, friend comments or applications
- Security: A user’s profile is typically an extension of themselves. The social network site should provide the ability for users to make their profiles as public or private as they wish. Users on social network sites should feel safe and comfortable using social networks. Security includes restricting individual users, setting privacy options and reporting spam.
- Networking Features: Social Network sites have expanded beyond simply posting a profile. Most include additional functionality like posting video, watching video, joining groups, playing games or browsing classifieds.
- Search: The core of social networking is building friends and relationships old and new. Social networks should allow you to search for your friends in a variety of ways including by name, email, school or zip code. Advanced search options can include finding friends through common interests or groups.
- Help/support: Although most social networks are simple and easy to use a good social network should provide some help in the case of difficulties, technical or social.
- Legitimate friend focus: Most social networking sites encourage users to reconnect with current and past friends, make relationships with friends of friends and build your personal connections. The more popular sites discourage users from contacting strangers with unsolicited messages; however, during our evaluation we found a few sites in which users encouraged this behavior and over the course of time we were contacted by strangers all over the world looking to “chat” online and exchange email addresses. There was an overall creepy feeling we could not ignore and felt it should be included in our ratings. The more strangers that contacted us the more their rating went down in this section.
