On Content:

Rata-rata dari artikel masih terlalu panjang untuk konsumsi web.

Harus dipertimbangkan alternatif title setiap kali agar lebih menarik.
Mulai dicari bentuk interaktifitas dengan proses sederhana yang membuat user loyal.
Mulai dipertimbangkan pembangunan proses untuk commercial content seperti advetorial etc.

On design/ Layout:

• Design sudah menarik dan menyediakan space untuk iklan.
• Perlu dipertimbangkan berbagai alternatif untuk menyelipkan iklan.
• Penyelipan form untuk comment di bawah artikel pada home perlu dipertimbangkan untuk dihilangkan.

On Interactivity:

• Interaktivitas masih sangat minim.
• Perbaikan interaktifitas bisa dimulai dari submit photo pada gallery dan comment.
• Interaktifitas yang mudah untuk dilaksanakan adalah submit link.
• Pada tingkat yang lebih tinggi, agregasi blog seperti digg.com akan menjadi senjata utama di masa depan.

On Web Marketing:

• Target user belum tersentuh secara significant.
• Belum menggunakan metode massive campaign, masih terbatas pada lingkungan terbatas, disebabkan oleh masih belum kepercayaan diri pada content masih rendah.
• Perlu dipertimbangkan fasilitas dan keuntungan menjadi member.
• Perlu komitmen kuat untuk penerapan strategi dan eksekusi email blast, search engine submission, banner placement/exchange dan offline events.
• Fasilitas google analytics bisa digunakan untuk memonitor efektifitas dari campaign.

On Business Proposal, Commercial Content and Ad Space:

• Pembangunan internal business plan agar bisa diprediksi kebutuhan operasional untuk jangka waktu tertentu.
• Pembangunan business proposal yang layak untuk menjual space dan kerjasama yang menguntungkan.
• Standarisasi proses dalam penempatan ad space dan pembangunan kolom komersial serta operasionalnya.
• Pendekatan kepada brand-brand yang terkait dalam waktu singkat.

On Daily Operation:

• Perlu standar operasional rutin sehingga meminimalisir kebutuhan akan sumber daya.

on my homework… of what it would be, the services are the most wanted by everyone… but I choose to go with the philosophy first, that because I wanted to all NETers to believe in NET Values first before doing anything else.

here they are:

Value of life: to SERVE

NET most valuable: OUR DREAMS

Community Value: ETHICS

we all about respect, responsibility, compassion, courage and nature subcioncious perceiptive.
