Hello @Seun!
If you have logged on to facebook today, Mark Zukerberg just added another feature to facebook. Through this, he is making facebook more useful and expanding communication. When i saw that, what came to my mind was you, @Seun, and Nairaland. I just think there are ways through which you can expand interaction too.

There is a new part i think you should add to Nairaland. It should be called "My world". This part will have to be like the conventional social media sites that one could upload his experiences either through typed words, video, audio or pictures. One should be able to send instant messages to the people that are following him and he is also following. You can also give greater control of this part to the indicidual member. He should be able to decide if he wants to remain anonymous or not, to a particular person he allows to join him in "his world".

The benefits of this are:

1. one would have the benefit of being on an online forum where he can keep in touch with discussions on current affairs and issues of life in general, and still be able to have a type of conventional social media for more intimate and profound interaction.

2. There are those who meet here on Nairaland and when they want to take their friendship further, would go to other less anonymous social media to meet. By the time you create this "My world", you will be keeping this group of Nairalanders.

The "My world" button should be somewhere along side the "mention", "likes and share" etc buttons.

I do not think Nairaland should remain essentially the same after over 10 years of existence.

Try this and lets see how useful Nairaland would become for people to use.

And please, wether or not this advice is useful to you, leave a reply to show you've read it. It could be a blank reply or just a "thank you" or a full-stop. It won't be very encouraging, and i won't feel appreciated if you don't read and indicate you've read it.

Good luck!
