If you’ve spent any amount of time on social networking web sites, you’ve probably experienced a moment like this:
Hey, this site is pretty cool. Invite my friends? Okay. I know that my buddy Jimmy Pop will dig it, for sure. Let’s see, just enter your e-mail address. There’s the Submit button — Wait a second! Did I just spam everyone in my GMail???
Whether by accident or by design, many social networking sites have a confusing way of getting people to invite other people into the system. As we’ve been working on adding Contacts — other customers in the Get Satisfaction system who you may want to follow or refer to on a regular basis — we’ve made it our goal to avoid the pitfalls that many other sites have fallen into. We want to make sure you know what each “next step” in an invite process will be before you click that button.
So, give it a shot. Add some Contacts from your dashboard.
Tip: If you’re a Twitter or Flickr member, start by importing those. It’s lickety-split fast.
Feedback: We think we’ve gotten pretty close to what we envisioned when we started designing this new feature, but if you have any advice, kudos, or complaints, share them with us.
