Mo.De. Motivational Design: Social Usability

The unstoppable coming of Social Usability Gianandrea Giacoma & Davide ‘Folletto’ Casali

unstoppable?!?

...ok, we have exaggerated, but...

Everything is social.

...even if you don’t think about it

...even if you don’t think about it ...even if you don’t want it

...even if you don’t think about it ...even if you don’t want it ...even if it doesn’t seem

The walkman Designed to isolate oneself, used to connect people.

Word A personal tool used to create text... to be shared.

The wall Designed to divide, it’s a meeting point for teenagers.

Positive I want social dynamics

Negative I want to avoid social dynamics

how does it happen?

USABILITY Learnability Efﬁciency Memorability Errors Satisfaction

SOCIAL USABILITY USABILITY Learnability Interpersonal Relations Efﬁciency Identity Memorability Communication Errors Group Emergence Satisfaction

SOCIAL USABILITY How easy is it to ﬁnd other people? How easy is it to connect to other people? Interpersonal Relations How easy is it to keep those connections active? How relevant are those connections? Identity Communication Group Emergence

SOCIAL USABILITY Interpersonal Relations How rich is one’s personal identity expression? How much are interests and passions expressed? Identity How much are personal distinctive traits shown? How much is privacy management detailed? Communication Group Emergence

SOCIAL USABILITY Interpersonal Relations Identity How fast can a message reach the other person? How many messages can one handle efﬁciently? Communication How easy is it to handle conversations (1-to-1, 1- to-some, 1-to-many)? Group Emergence

SOCIAL USABILITY Interpersonal Relations Identity Communication How easy is it to create groups? How active are groups once estabilished? Group Emergence How long do they last? How much is it important to be part of a group?

How can I analyze it? How can I evaluate it?

User tests (you would have never guessed it, uh?)
