What would you add to a Social Networking website like MySpace or Friendster to make it better?

I programmed a website called "FriendHaven.com" to compete with that of MySpace and Friendster. If you could add any new features or something different that you would like to see on a Social Networking website, what would you add or change to make it cooler for you.

What would you add to a Social Networking website like MySpace or Friendster to make it better?
this is becoming an exhausted market, so i wish you well. ill try to help.








How about having a relationship section where people can ask questions. It is similar to forums, but more of a Q%26amp;A feature like this Yahoo Answers. But just stick to one or two sections like relationships and friends. because people have lots of questions, but they dont know who to ask. thats why they come to such websites as Yahoo Answers. And forums are a bit different, this format works much better and is far more interesting.





How about when you click on a person you see what they like, their interests, hobbies, ect... now have a button where people can click to find similar people. (this probably exists). but also have a button which finds people that are opposite of this person. opposite interests, ect... this could be fun for people because they would never have thought to find such a different person.








also in order to have people come back everyday you should put some limits. Like if they are able to upload a certain amount of pictures.





Make it a competition of some sorts: if they have a certain amount of friends or if they have been on the website for a certain amount of time they get prizes: like the ability to add couple more pictures, and the top winner(s) could be like the featured person(s) of the day or of the week.


.


A feature allowing people to talk to each other. Or use a webcam.








I dont know if you'll have enough space or memory, but allow users to add more than one video. Video profiles. instead of having boring writing as their profile let people post a video of themselves saying what they like.








i myself have never used any of these myspace such websites, but these are just some ideas you could use. hope it helps. ill try to think of more for you. let me know if you need more ideas. tedmando35@yahoo.com
