That was my reaction when I heard about a networking site Bigadda (Bigadda means spoiled) but it actually meant big adda (big hangout). I browsed through the site just to see what is the hype all about. You hear about it on Big FM. Believe me guys it’s just a stylish version of DesiMartini.com (whose ads has been making rounds of the TV now-a-days.) The layout, the whole look of the site gives the same feel as DesiMartini. It has certain resemblance to Hi5 as well. If you see the site it will remind you of a mix of a lot of social networking sites running currently. Except the login page I think they have not put in much effort in anything. Read more…

Well I think with social networking sites pouring in everyday users have started to make choices and have been more critical over where to land. A huge amount of users change accounts everyday looking for something new in social networking. In my previous blog I mentioned a shift from MySpace to Facebook that has been very prominent. There is a similar case where I went through this social networking site and saw endless flaws in the same.

One can trace a lot of friends at Hi5 than on others, and it is a delight to meet new and old friends on the web. Yet the site is buggy! At times it doesn’t allow us to add some people as friends. Some friends get deleted automatically. And its text forms are buggy, for example, when we edit our profile and try to save it, it doesn’t get saved and then we have to type everything again. Its the same with the message form. And most of the pages on Hi5 have JavaScript errors, which isn’t much good for a professional site.

I hope developers of the site overcome these issues soon, before people have moved onto other social networking sites.
