The amount of social websites is increasing rapidly and the concurrency is hard on the internet between all those websites which are providing almost the same services. That is why they need to distinguish themselves from the others.
There are several ways to get out of the mass and try to be “the chosen one” for the final user. A very important aspect, even if it could seem insignificant to some developers, is the design and the layout of their application. Indeed, the first thing the final user see is the look and feel of the website, and for this reason they will stay or they will leave.
This article is just discussing about that point and is trying to compare some famous social news websites on the level of their look and design. It’s interesting to see how a final user is considering the sites he visited and to understand why he made that ranking.
A good design is indeed one of the major factors in user-adoption, besides usability and the functionalities offered, which are all determining the ‘lifetime’ of these social tools.
