2013 will start Real-user, real-name registration War


Real user and real name war strongly started in 2012 and it will wash out few companies in 2013. Reason behind real user and real name is fake user registrations and fake name. Everyone disappointing with this fake user and fake name. Surveys and News are showing lot of people using more then 1 accounts on Facebook and Twitter. Maximum face accounts of celebrity and girls are available on Facebook and Twitter. Here you can check few news and blog articles-

Facebook And Twitter Home To Hordes Of Fake Users CNET By @lancewhit

This face name and fake user issue is not going with only normal user also with Govt. Issue is not going with only Facebook and Twitter, it's going with Google+ also and with all social media sites. China may make real-name registration mandatory for all its internet users Theverge By @bcbishop but main issue is how we can track who is real or not. 

I have something in my mind but I can not disclose here. And I am sure it will drop fake user registration to +95% not 100%. For this need more discussion. Feel free to contact me if you want to build patented product with real user and real name.

Right sequence is Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Google+, RSS feed and Youtube

In last one week  visited more then top 1000 web pages like, forbs, mashable, dropbox and many more for some reason and found one interesting thins there, and started thinking about that. The thing is Social media profile presence on your website.

The question rise in my mind is what is the right sequence of presenting these profile on our sites. Because all sites are presenting in different sequence. Some one keep first position for Twitter, and some one Facebook on first position.

The sequence is not all about Twitter and Facebook but there is also Linkedin, Google+ and Youtube in fight . But Linkedin and Google+ are fighting for 3rd position. We can not forget Youtube, it's in last but in fight.

I have taken few snapshot for showing you. Take a quick view on that:


 After viewing this image you have got to know majority of site using Facebook first and twitter 2nd. And the right sequence is Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Google+, RSS feed and Youtube. However this is my own research and thinking, you are free to chose your own sequence and few more in list like Pintrest, Tumbler, etc.
