- Profiles:
- a place for users to create an "image" of how they wish to be seen in the context of your site
- users want a central, public location to display all the relevant content and information about themselves to others
- Activity Stream as part of User Profile
- Dashboard:
- the user wants to check in and see status updates from friends, current activity from network, comments, etc.
- allow users to select what elements they want displayed in their dashboards
- provide the ability to create a status update directly in the dashboard if status is an important part
- easy access to the user's own profile (link on avatar?)
