Web2.0 Mini Review (14) — Community Interaction | Net Travel Notes
Douban [Brief Review]: The most well-known community website in China, focusing on discovering and sharing favorite films, music, books, and blog posts. [Features]: Mainly includes four sections: Books, Movies, Music, and Nine O'Clock (i.e., blog articles). Users can independently submit, comment, and support their favorite content. For the first three categories, they are divided into "currently enjoying," "previously enjoyed," and "want to enjoy" based on timeliness. Users can submit descriptive information autonomously, from which Douban selects the best description as the standard one (which will also be updated continuously). Users can comment, add to favorites, include in Doulists (equivalent to personal recommendation lists), and even buy or sell through price and version information (so when submitting information, complete copyright information is required). For the Nine O'Clock section, it consists of articles pushed from user-submitted blog RSS feeds. Douban divides these articles into two to six channels based on their content. Users can comment, recommend (Digg), save, include in groups, Doulists, etc. Through "My Douban," users can easily manage personal information (including Doulists, comments, discussions, blog display plugins, etc.).
