User Profiles & Community

Community is a CSF (Critical Success Factor) for e-commerce success in today's crowded and noisy web. Sharing your site with customers is a great way to begin to build an online community. 


 These 30 designs share best practices in user profiles today and some don't suck (Plurk, Vimeo). None is breathtaking or outstanding. Common and important elements for community building include:

* Picture
* Following / Follower Stats
* Bio
* Links out to social nets
* Summary of user actions on  the site
* Badges or other social status definitions


If you have a favorite user profile please share as we're working on creating one for a client now. Thanks, Marty
