Once again about the motivation of the user
Many Habravchane probably faced with this problem. Either on your own site, or seen on others. You have created a "social" site and expect that users will begin to fill it with content. But this is not happening. They write - or at least comment on - maybe 10% of the total number of visitors. The rest simply read and do nothing else on the site. Familiar, banal picture.
But do the “others” really do nothing? Is it really only "read"?
So, we take a small "webdvanol" site. With minimal attendance. We post a poll on it. And we immediately see that about 30-50 percent of visitors take part in the survey. Much more than just commenting on posts.
Yes, participating in a survey is not yet content creation. But this is an active action; it is more difficult than simply following the link on the page. And this active action is done by many. So what is so unusual about these polls?
IMHO, in almost any standard web survey there is one beauty. To see the results of the survey, you need to take part in it yourself. Until you vote yourself, you will not know what others think. This is the motivation of the user. And it is on this that you can build a strategy for the whole service.
You just need to complicate the task a little in the survey. In order to see the results of the survey, you need not just click on one of the buttons, but write a comment. To see other people's comments, you need to write your own. Here is such an idea.
Implement this idea in different ways. And I see the disadvantages that a similar method of conducting surveys will have, but, in my opinion, they are all solvable.
If this post is of interest, then I will describe in more detail my vision of the implementation of such a service. For now, just wondering what you think?
It seems it's time to start updates)
UPDATE1. Yes, such questions will need completely different questions. For example, remember the movie, when people on the streets (not on the Internet) were asked what a “browser” is? It was really interesting to hear their suggestions. What will happen, for example, if you ask on the Internet, “What is a synchrophasotron?” And ask not to use Google? Or, for example, I live in a city named after a certain Dimitrov. It would be interesting to read what the people of my city think about who their hometown is named after. I think there will be a lot of funny answers.
UPDATE2. It seems to me that such a service is better implemented as a widget that can be placed on third-party sites. If all polls are collected on one site. then it will really be boring.
