Design development browser "Social toolbar for your browser"

good Day! Under the cut is a proposal for the development of the browser and the network. Direction of movement, sociality, destination — Web 3.0.

the

Social network


The "Social forms" means forms of communication or message sending is implemented on the site directly beside the main content.



If you look at the Top 10 sites on the Internet — Google, Facebook, YouTube, Baidu, Yahoo, Amazon, Wikipedia, Qq, Twitter, Taobao, in the list there is no website without social forms, there are no forms for communication or sending messages. If you take the Top 100, Top 1000, the picture will change little. Social forms are even on the smallest site, whether it is at least even and forms of communication with support. Discussion, comments, social network — social network traffic very much.

The social web is everywhere, but the network structure, social forms, browser capabilities do not correspond to natural human needs, despite the clear need for this.

One of the main drawbacks concludes that due to the technical limitations of the forms of expression we have to link social forms directly to the page content is not convenient enough for use by way of further overloading the page and increasing its weight and complexity. You say, "But I like it! Stylish, comfortable.". But when you consider that communication with customers in social networks or other websites, then we see that the largest proportion of visitors still do not find in these forms that they would like. Nevertheless, these forms are placed directly in the main content.



(This site about the movie or to chat?
Please note, this is the page where chase visitor! A new, progressive design, and in General compartment this category of visitors as non-targeted.)


The limited offer of services and forms of communication, probably the main disadvantage of the embedded forms. Types of forms of communication (comments, discussions, chats, etc). and so it is not very much invented, but even less sold on any particular website in embedded form. We at the wide selection offers a single provider and this provider provides one type of communication that the entire range is mounted on the page by the site owner. And this type of communication needs to look beautiful on appearance and not reload the page, and the convenience here is at the end of a long queue of requirements.

Disadvantages of elaboration and design of social forms. Social sites are secondary, they are often individual solutions with flaws samobile. For specialized or small sites conformi alien to the owner of the website thing and they are not given enough attention. The owner insofar as they are needed or for indexing. And even on the websites of the top companies social forms is far from perfect. And certainly they do not support complex social behaviors, for example cooperation or concepts such as the circle.

Special restrictions. Somewhere, for reasons technical, administrative reasons, to communicate in the network overlap with lucid restrictions. The number of posts, limited access, moderation or administrative policy. (How many visitors would comment on the article if there were no restrictions Habra?) I don't know whether we will communicate more and better, if you remove some of those restrictions, but the fact that social traffic will be significantly more a fact.

A little cooperation and interaction sites is limited. The security mechanism prevents cross-domain requests, so any interaction is possible only through the host site, or if a third-party provider wants to provide services on any network site, it is possible through the mechanism of browser extensions. Which of course leads to the proliferation of universal solutions and solutions from small vendors.

the Solution is trivial


The comprehensive solution born at the junction of several disciplines. This interface design, and component browser, and service, and the extension of the standard search, and the organizational part of + the plan.

the

proposed


The visual part of the solution, is a specialized bar in your browser, designed to contain web pages, forms a specific type of information or social. That is, those that are focused on different kind of communication and user interaction. Shape of comments, discussions, chats, feedback, wiki and many other forms have much in common, and in its implementation-provided functionality and how the user works with them.


(actually, the layout is a bit different, but clearer picture)

Built in a certain way, challenging the panel will provide technical ability for the removal of the embedded social forms with the main content of the page. In the end, it is expected that the panel will provide additional comfort during work using a browser – will simplify and reduce the number of steps in navigation will enable more ergonomic to link the content pages to provide further indication aimed at improving the interaction between users. But more important, I think, is the fact that making or at first just copying the functional part of the busy page on a separate panel, we can create the technical ability to implement alternative proposals, the alternative services on any site.

The visual part + internal components = technical means to create their own solutions to the site owners. Some development of the browser.

the

Real review: "the Panel? Why is it necessary?? I don't need no bar!!!"


Do not worry, maybe there will be no panel. This is all just reasoning of the designer, so we have fun or looking for something new. But if possible to implement, don't worry, I am sure all will tell you.

the

Why?


To create optimal and convenient web application. For the solution of those problems, which are now accumulated in the technology of site-building. For maximum convenience, communication and user interaction on the Internet.

Firstly, it is a kind of front-end solution. This is what is called the design master and subordinate forms, which will bypass the restriction on cross-domain interaction without damage to the security mechanism. And the panel will use the advantages of mnogogrannost modern computers.

Second of all, as a specialized and independent form, the panel can be provided with different mechanisms for solving problems of the subject area. In our case, what is required for the communication and interaction of users. The establishment of such mechanisms in the proposed logic panel will not require their wide standardization to ensure interoperability. That is, for example, you can add a transport mechanism for notifications in a single project browser and not worry that browsers from other vendors there is no such mechanism.

In the third, it will be social or professional search. Today to find a social circle to discuss a particular topic and appropriate to the individual needs non-trivial task. It would seem and here the search? Well, that's the design decision involves finding. Substantiated based on the analysis of user processes is quite voluminous, I just mention it as a necessary part of the design. Finding services for communication and interaction users will have more opportunity to offer themselves to the consumer and become more diverse and more developed.

The already mentioned free choice of forms of interaction or communication. The tape, commenting, chat, voice chat, forum, articles, ads, specialized forms, private messages etc. all these types of social forms are used and popular in the network, and the preference of users is unpredictable.
I mentioned already the notification about new posts in topics you are interested in, activity in discussions or actions of other users, as a component of the browser and with a comfortable display. Possible will be added and other service facilities subject area.

And other improvements. It is expected that this design will act as the core technology and will be widely used in a variety of services. And I can see the mechanism which (possibly) will lead to a qualitative leap in the development of social forms, this mechanism is the freedom of communication and free access (on a competitive basis) to the consumer all providers of social forms.

the

And how it will be implemented and how are we going to use?


By providing this opportunity, we allow to create new services. Especially anything to do will not require new services will advertise themselves. With the spread of social services, and content sites will be able to restructure a number of its pages, simplifying them and making more convenient. After all already there is no need to introduce everywhere the social forms, they will be external to the site. Sites will be able to provide more complex services, cooperating with each other. For example, the active wiki editors can use for their work, organizers or other services provided by some third-party site in the network. Or conversely, a wiki website can provide your service to some other website.

the

Why do you think that someone will use it?


In the proposed improvement, that is, the introduction of a specialized panel, there is no revolutionary spirit. On the contrary, the requirement to break the complex shape into multiple simple is one of the fundamental GUI design. And using the social panel this requirement can be fulfilled. But for convenience and site developers to support, and the user will be pulled.

Another reason is the above mentioned possible alternatives. If the social panel will provide an opportunity for selection, then the user traffic from its use will grow. As an example, take the discussion of an event associated with the policy. In one discussion two sides of the face, there is a confrontation and argument. In this situation there is a very large number of interrupted user processes, leaving out of the discussion. Part of the reason for the moderation of messages, part – out, defeated and frustrated or offended party. And the winners in the absence of the source is also gone. In case if you will be given more sections for discussion, thematic or for supporters of different political preferences, will generate more traffic, simply because visitors are not forced to leave. It is supposed that the bar is offering an alternative to create more traffic.

Social search will also attract visitors.

Total


I didn't set out to completely describe the design in this article only highlight the key points, and that is not all. This application is a challenge. The task was to at least indicate the need to say that this need proposed solution. I hope for greater understanding colleagues than distant from the development or design of a simple reader. It would be great to talk about. Questions, debate is welcome but negativity and malevolence. Maybe the developer of any browser interested, I'd love to discuss the possibility of implementation. Especially still have something to offer.
