Dion explicitly explains seven ways to trigger network effects.
- Network Enable Your Application. - iTunes which has connectivity to the internet but is a desktop app.
- Enable Data Sharing and Data Defaults. - Dion citest the example of del.icio.us/popular to examplify the situation wherein the users themselves came up with the easy way to find the data.
- Linkify Everything In Your Web 2.0 App - Advocates linking everything on the site.
- Syndicate Your Content - The whole social software is built on the syndication and suggests the software should have at the minimal RSS and Atom.
- Turn Your Application Into a Platform: - Essentially providing the API so that not only your site is benefited but many other sites as well. A good example would be the Flickr where there are so many sites which used the api to create mash ups.
- Open Up Inside Your Site: - Similar to myspace allowing youtube to host the videos.
- Build a Viral Social Architecture.- The whole concept of sharing and gives an example of myspace which has a link at the bottom for emailing to friends etc.,
There could be many other ways you could network your application but at the least it should have some of the above to be successful in the social software arena of web 2.0.
