My first user is myself. I am 19 years old and attend Magee College. I like to go out and weekend and spend alot of time with my boyfriend and friends.

VIIM-A

After choosing my users the next step was to write short story about what each does on

facebook. Then from these stories see what the users motivations, interaction, interface and

visual attractions were to facebook.

Post its.

After writing the stories and finding why the users go on facebook the next step was to

get some help from class mates to come up with some ideas for something that could be fixed or something that could be made that

would help the user while on facebook.

The top three were:• Easier upload• You should be able to select specific people to be at the top of

your newsfeed• Faster upload speed

Facebook already has group which you can put specific people into groups and see there newsfeeds there, so the second point wouldn’t be much different to what facebook already has.

However easier and faster upload would save people alot of time. So this is the one I am going to choose.

Easier and faster upload speed.
