Intro
This research paper presents a change in access to web accounts for social
networks and possibly emails; it present in detail a new kind of social network
entrée that can be applied to emails in future. Most social network and email
accounts available today require that new users register to use the service while
old users log in with their username and password. It appears that this has come
to stay since it is obtainable on all websites with little or no exception. Using the
steps in this paper, it is possible to be an active member of a social networking
website without prior registration. A social networking website helps to connect
friends, families and groups, enabling them to share messages, multimedia files
and other stuffs. Social networking has grown to become the new way people
around the world connect and share information of interest in the 21st century.
There over a billion social network web accounts submitting billions of posts
weekly. It is normal for new users to register on social networking websites to
have the privilege of membership. Registration submits user information and
helps to know the number of users on the website. Some internet users are not
on social networking websites, for some reasons; some others have quit the
service. Governments, Web provisions and individual factors may be responsible
in different environment for this. This research paper takes registration off
membership criteria for social networks and shows what a new social can be.
Info
A website maintains a series of web pages, multimedia files and other digital
métiers on the World Wide Web; it is usually accessible via the internet or some
other kind of network. A web page can be termed as a document connected to
the Worldwide Web accessible via the internet using a web browser. Worldwide
web can be termed as a network having websites that offer web pages, animation
and multimedia files through the hypertext transfer protocol.
We can say the internet revolves around web pages or more broadly websites.
There are billions of web pages available over the internet with millions uploaded
weekly. They are used to share information, relay messages, as safe for data, for
learning, business and other purposes.
Something about anything can be found on the internet with web pages as the
medium; text, audio and video conversations are also available via the internet;
use of the internet is vast and growing rapidly. Diversifying internet usage, certain
individuals or groups found it reasonable to develop a platform that allows people
connect and have social relations.
A social networking website offers social network service; this provides a platform
where those tied on certain interdependencies get to each other. Individuals,
groups, organization, share interests, values, vision, etc.
There are tens of websites offering social networking service; some have
succeeded in adding value to lives. They help to connect friends and families that
have been out of touch; aid contact and dissemination of urgent, important
information; and probably give some young people something to do online.
Social networking is changing the way people use the internet; some social
network posts are available in search results; news are sometimes revealed first
on social networking sites; social networks have assisted in meting out
information to people needing urgent assistance; it has also being used to protest
or mobilize people to show their grievances against questionable authorities;
organizations, governments, institutions, megastars, have deep presence on
social networks so as to reach their own.
There are all kinds of social networking websites offering all kinds of service:
some ease photo sharing; some enable quick and short messaging; some enable
sharing text and multimedia files together; some are used to educate; some are
used for charity and some are used for video sharing. Creating a different and
specific social network service can increase the popularity of the social
networking website.
Market share of social networking websites have surged because of the growing
number of users and ads on them. Social networking will never be obsolete it will
rather evolve with better platforms as one presented here.
Writings
To the crux of this research paper: developing a social networking website that
will not require any kind of registration for members, making everyone and
anyone who can use a computer device and have access to the internet
automatically a member so long the person visits the website and logs in with
specific username and password.
Let me call the name of this proposed website Stef to avoid repeating "social
networking website". When stef is lunched, specific instructions will be available
on the homepage before prospective users proceed to log in to the website.
Stef is expected to be a very intelligent website, sensitive to activities carried out
by users and their interests; since registration is absent, it will understand
activities specific to users: locations, interests, instant conversation with friends
or family, groups and government pages.
Users will be instructed on the front page of stef to choose specific username and
password; usernames will also be case sensitive to boost security. Examples of
unique usernames against passwords are: davidstePhenx2 / 1135799;
stepHarixqz / qwertyasdf; dsatveIpdhen / geomagneticpin.
There are billions of internet users worldwide; this entrée should appeal to many
since registration does not separate a user from membership, it is possible that
many people share the same name, computer, Internet Protocol (IP) address and
so on. Overcoming this is the first question this paper answer before jumping to
the features of the website.
Choosing unique usernames and passwords will be advised to ensure utmost
secrecy for users, however stef will make provisions to ensure that users that
have previously logged on truly own accounts. The second information on the
front page of stef will be to instruct first time users to build a profile to keep the
page theirs from that time on.
When some one logs in uniquely to the website, he will be expected to have a
profile containing original names, email (not compulsory), gender, age group,
borough, interest, upload pictures, Education or work experience (either or both),
music, songs, movies, newspapers, TV, governments, websites, books, quotes,
lexicon, religious interest, political inclination, people, motivation, hopes and
aspiration.
The list appears long; this is to make up for the ‘loose’ social platform where
email verification and usual registration is needless. About ten profile questions
should be answered on first log in else account maybe put on pending or have
the username and password recycled.
Developing a profile should not take time but depends on how fast the user types
and the server speed at the time. After creating a profile, the user starts seeing
posts and information related to his interest immediately.
Let me create a shady Stef profile of me for better understanding, name: David
Stephen; borough: Bronx, gender: male; age group: mid-early twenties; interest:
Research and Development, Science and Technology; Work Experience:
Theoretical Research Place; music: instrumentals; movies: Coming to America;
newspapers: Telegraph; TV: BBC; Governments: Australian; websites: Xinhua,
Google News; books: Applied Physics textbooks; quotes: Science Mothers The
World; lexicon: wend, cornucopia; Religious Interest: Christianity; Political
inclination: apolitical; People: The Queen, John Holdren, President Nelson
Mandela; motivation: change; hopes: scientific expert; aspiration: research
associate.
The profile is this simple and interesting. Someone may want to ask at this point
that aside registration what differentiates stef from available social networking
sites since users create similar profile. The difference is obtained in the way
people connect, share and interact, the unique way users are identified and the
latitude provided on stef.
Let me say I log in with username: davidstePhenx2 and password: 1135799. I will
create the profile above and additional information like anything I desire;
example, hopeful itinerary: Resolute bay and Antarctica; wishes: I wish I have a
good knowledge of economics to make me present relevant papers for world
economic recovery.
After creating the profile; posts and information of interest will be seen around
parts of my page; posts so interesting to keep me on stef for the time. Information
from my profile will be intertwined to make posts available to me enthralling.
One of the unique login features of stef is to determine how users log in to the
website.; Typing username and password will be likened to composing a
message, where draft is saved per second; the stef will understand how fast
users type their respective log in details, some users may decide to type
username elsewhere to be copied and pasted on the username box while he
types the password normally in the box or vice versa.
‘Remember me on this computer’ will also be available to be checked. Date of
birth form will reside on the homepage permanently for first time users because
of children online privacy protection act. ‘First time user?’ can be the question
that maybe checked to spread the date of birth form and also give the website
advanced knowledge of the type of user prior to login in.
The next time I log in with my username and password, stef compares my typing
to the first log in, will pardon me (for nuance) since it’s my first time. After this, I
will be directed to a page, where the website detects my present location against
my last location or (IP address), if it stays same, then I may be asked specific
interest or wish or something I am expected to know alone my answer maybe
encrypted like password, my page opens after this. This may not be necessary if
the user is remembered on his computer or if the uppercase letter of his
username or password is typed correctly.
Stef is unique and intelligent, and users are also expected to create unique and
different profiles, the question that leads to opening users homepage maybe
asked and answered by the user. It may answer the last activity on the site, it
may answer read posts on the site, it may ask and answer mother age group, it
may ask or answer any question that no ‘guess man’ may easily answer, failing to
ask or answer right three times will automatically send the user back to log in
page.
It may also be that after entering username and password, it takes users to a
specific page, where all kinds of interests are listed: music, books, quotes, etc.
Users that have created their profile will know how to get through. A user may
have to rearrange some according to his preference by picking and dropping in
ascending, descending, horizontal, vertical or diagonal order; a user may also
click once or twice on some and thrice on others just to ensure it is the actual
user that is logging in. Username and password not previously chosen takes user
straight to the page to develop his profile.
Stef will not be stress to use since these processes may or may not follow but
very unique usernames and password may just be prerequisite and in case of
missing this, the processes above may follow, the way stef should come
everybody will relate.
Friends and close relations may know interests of certain people, how is it that
they don’t guess to enter the user’s profile? First, username and password is
assumed to be unknown; if they log in by chance, and know the interest, they
may fail to know how many clicks or how to arrange his interests.
What if the original user forgets some of his log in methods or leaves the website
and returns after sometime? Since he owns the account it will be detected easily,
Not all his profile will be available to the public he should remember some inputs
and use them to log in.
Forgetting username and password is easily corrected by creating another stef
account and using the new account to mirror the old account; password reset
may not be available immediately but will be monitored after complains to the
website, it should be restored by monitoring activities if similar to the former or
can also be possible by link sent to email if the user previously added his email.
This website may also help reduce the risk of automatic login especially when the
computer gets out of hand, these processes maybe followed.
Usage
On a stef user’s home page, there will be display of posts, news, from groups and
folks of the user. Places to go on the website include “primary page” which shows
posts, uploaded multimedia files and others according to the preference of the
user and according to time.
“Me” (a sub-page of the primary page) shares part of the user profile he’s wants
others to see, this should contain part or all of the profile in the example above.
For a user viewing another user profile, stef may display profile which has similar
answer to that user, for example, user A only knows user B’s political inclination
is apolitical if same for own profile. Stef may show this for other options too.
There will be some general information free for display such as name and
location. “Me” page also displays pictures and other multimedia files.
When viewing the profile of others, “me” page will appear as “him” for male, “her”
for female, “us” for country, “we” for groups and so many other pronouns that
respectively apply.
“Make friends” will be another page on the website, this will help user locate
friends by sort of an advance search; important tags in the search is friend full
names, location, education or work and any other information a user has about
another person to ensure the person is found since email or name search does
not only apply here.
Pictures may or may not be displayed with results; direct link can be created
between friends that have informed themselves of their presence on stef. Family
may also be linked alike; groups can be joined depending on user’s interests.
Group updates and posts will be available at one corner of users’ webpage.
Family or relatives list maybe separate from friends list where there is special
connection with cousins, nephews, nieces, kinsmen, kinswomen and so on, this
maybe used to bind family online (young users have right to their privacy here).
Respective family members can use the website normally without interference,
interests relating to their location and origin will be available for them.
When friends searched for are found, they will be added to the user’s friends list
this will make them relate partly, the user will only be able to view available profile
halfway until the recipient connects as friends on stef; same applies to family.
For friends advanced search don’t find, users will be told to reduce the number of
tags for broad results. It may also be possible that the person has not been on
stef.
It will be possible to send direct and instant messages between users, however, a
button is provided to clear off or immediately decline the conversation if wanted,
and messages may also be returned in the same format sent showing that the
recipient declined to read or reply the message.
According to the sample profile, it automatically draws interest in research and
development for me; this may come in relation to North America my location and
young researchers of my age group. It may also be advanced to physics (relating
to books or subject if filled in my profile). Updates will be provided across this and
I can also search for interesting groups to join.
Music can be uploaded from one’s computer and be played while using stef; a
song can also be used as login verification where users jump to his favorite part
of the song or select what part he wants to start listening to the song.
Watching uploaded videos on the website will be made possible and Links to
watch videos on another website can be posted for friends to see. There will be
online games that can be played between users having themselves on the same
(friends or family) list; there will also be games that can be played individually by
users.
The website will be fun with features relating to users interests, location and
options. Freely accessible stuffs across the web will be available on the website,
links to read books and article, history and general knowledge notes will all be
available.
A radio station can broadcast from here or provide update to listeners anywhere
around the world, users have the chance to listen especially to past broadcasts
uploaded; a good student who writes can upload his articles on stef, since the
article is uploaded with tags, people can get to the article within stef or be
directed from search engines. Stef intends to be a home where one can stay and
have a good time.
Government of nations and specific departments will be encouraged to have stef
profile where they can see doings of their people; with such people being able to
send their recommendations to them. It will be easy for users to see the good
works in departments and governments of other nations and recommend their
government or respective department to do likewise.
A users can change colors and fonts, can also have his stef page in 3dimension,
get news as it unfolds, see discussions making waves, learn about the future,
connect with others, get informal education, get important parts of articles related
to their findings and do many more things.
There is flexibility in using this website as members too can create as they want;
stef can invite and bring on websites and links that people find important for
example, those showing statistics, time, calendar, innovations and many more in
diverse categories.
Alliance
This appears to be the most interesting aspect of social networking where users
can identify with celebrities, nations, governments, institutions, schools, places,
subjects, teachings, gadgets, purpose and aspirations.
How will this be structured for stef where registration is needless and truly social
devoid of serious attachment by users and rigidity by the website? First, I want to
classify what users can align with as groups. Let me take a news paper as
example, Telegraph, intending to come on the network, they can use their official
email and may also have reservations for their staff.
Having an official email to create a stef account will not be the only option for
groups to be on the network; another likely option is to have stef accessed from
the website of telegraph to direct them to open the account. Official email use
and webmaster effort will be intertwined in having this.
There are malicious websites; stef will guard against them, man to computer
conversation maybe necessary here. The webmaster of telegraph will create an
official telegraph account on stef and other reporters or columnist intending to
have an account will do through the webmaster. For uniformity, individuals will
have log on with username and password while groups register as obtainable on
other socials.
Stef will access the website of telegraph and ensure it is Daily Telegraph of the
United Kingdom; it creates a ‘pre-account’ and monitors their website for some
hours before confirmation. The question arising from this line: will this apply to
thousands of websites and businesses available over the internet?
It should. Known and popular groups will need some verification before
confirmation, any other group bearing similar names to the known ones will
respect the groups that have accounts already.
Websites interested will be allowed to share their post to groups before log in
attempt or confirmation by stef. This social will really be social, where there is
freedom and ingeniousness from users.
What if someone log in and tries using the name of an organization? Normally,
direct login is available for individuals; as profile is developed and saved as draft,
stef understands and refers such individual to group creation, through their
website or official email.
If official email or website is unavailable, a new approach will be opened for the
group, this maybe the case for small businesses, upcoming entertainers, up and
coming groups, etc. One of the questions in having a profile for this group is
“have you ever done anything that has been reported anywhere online”
If yes, they will be asked to provide the link or links. They can also provide their
official page on other social networking website.
Stef visits the link and identifies them, if the prior information on their profile
matches the description, they are told to provide their email, the profile is
therefore developed; their posts and doings on the website is closely followed for
sometime before final confirmation of account.
If are no links to other socials or any link at all, stef will request the group
representative develops a profile as an individual first; the profile page will state
that he represents say qhz merchant. They maybe advised to get a weblog or
officialize their stef page pending the confirmation of the profile; which has no
specific duration.
David Stephen representing qhz merchant will be different from David Stephen’s
individual account. The profiles will be different since the former represents a
group or organization while the latter represents an individual. With online search
and verification by stef, fictitious accounts from this feature will be prevented.
Up and coming celebrities may need some verification to avoid being
impersonated, for them they will be allowed to have their full profile as an
individual with a public consideration, to have friends but any user can be their
friend without formal consent. Their profile will be made available to the public;
they will be allowed to put links on their profile to direct users to video sharing
websites containing their audio tracks and videos.
In creating a public profile for this upcoming level, they may need to give sincere
answers to questions like how far they have gone towards their career in terms of
estimation of how many people should likely know them and how many should in
coming months. These and more specific questions will help the website place
(or grade) them appropriately, if their answers appear bogus, compared to their
‘status’ the form maybe refreshed.
Stef will not despise small beginnings; the information is to ensure that stef hands
them effective web provision in relation to their kind of music if artist or sport if
athlete; resources to boost their performance, putting them in spotlight for other
users around their location or interest will be another feature for them.
The usual way groups and famous individuals throwaway their social network
page, will apply here also, for example daily telegraph can let people know
through their prints or website that they can visit stef.com/telegraph to access
their stef page telling people that a multidimensional approach is given to their
news and information on stef.
Special groups for a purpose can also be created say ‘arise for charity’ a profile
will be developed for such and questions of how they intend to advertise the page
will be asked and the need to have such group at the time; stef will help alert
people who share similar interests with the group.
Multinational corporations will have their page match their profile on stef; this
means their profile will link them with interest, businesses, people, projects etc.
So stef works to help them grow. Stef supports users towards their vision,
mission and core values.
Stef is also expected to have a page where it announces new groups, famous
celebrities who just joined the network, this maybe provided by an official stef
page.
Within territories that don't allow socials; stef can operate there since users within
the territory will only connect and share with users staying there. Any user on stef
that travels into the country will only share with friends on his list within the
territory. This automatically isolates the users in that territory from others but
hands them the experience and good.
Everyone is automatically a member of stef so long username and password can
be provided via the internet on stef. To estimate the amount of users on stef the
number of unique usernames and password that have logged in already is
considered and the number of profiles created is also considered. Users of a
website as stef will surge across boundaries in weeks.
Stephen
I am sure you have questions, I have question too; so who do we ask? Can we
ask those guys that turned to Page in April, 2011 or asked those referred to as
‘computer code’ giant? Their answers may interest us since the former is plus
with social and the latter’s bing will bring to stef steps for searches.
Maybe stef will be built by a small business in Thomasville, or a growing tech
company in Dunedin, whoever is interested may have more from me and make
stef what they think since most of the features writing here are preliminary.
This should be a research paper with the subject of this heading conclusion but it
is itself social from the first heading. Social networking makes people happy,
especially the popular ones, but this kind of social that gives much latitude will
too.
