7. Long-term Goals for SocialFeed To measure the success of the product development efforts, SocialFeed should be evaluated against 6-month targets, which only be completed after the current state is determined. Metric Current Target (6 months) Assumptions Access Metrics Search Engine Rankings SocialFeed Social Feed Personalized News Social Media Social RSS Referral Percentages Direct Access Search Engine Rankings RSS Reader News Sites Social Networks Share with Friends Conversion Rate (Register) Unique Registered Users Daily Unique Visitors Logins per Day Article Views per Day
19. Secondary Recommendation: Google Gadget The two personalized news applications, Digg and Google Reader, that developed Google Gadgets currently have 6,600 and 7,500 Gadget users respectively. These are higher installs than those of the most prominent social network, Facebook, and iGoogle is more aligned with SocialFeed user demographics.

21. Secondary Recommendation: Social Network Applications (cont.) = In addition, the user demographics for Social Networks (University students and recent graduates) does not match the user demographics of SocialFeed (heavy workers). And the current SocialFeed user demographics do not align with the interactive applications that are the most successful in social networking communities. Thus, an interactive SocialFeed application may be considered in the future when either the SocialFeed demographic changes or Realcom decides to target a different demographic.
