Here's a couple of ideas to improve the social aspect of the Zune. We all know Zune is intended for all music lovers to come together and share/experience music that you may have similar tastes with others.
But seriously; how many of you actually use the "SOCIAL" menu in your Zune on a regular basis? I know I don't. Well, because I don't want to waste a lot of time browsing through someone's stuff. The issue is time here. So how to sort it all out?
Simpliying the Social menu. Since the goal is to see what people are listening to and their favourites? Because of the web-browser now in the Zune HD, what about showing music status, that is similar to Facebook/WLM. Grouping online/offline users, and showing an option of "Show what you are listening to" when online (similar to that of WLM). Another implenting feature would be "short messages/tweets/shouts" to other users. Because if they're listening to something what we like, we're bound to message them. And thirdly, implenting an option to add what you're listening to facebook/twitter. For eg. "User is listening to 'artist - song' on his/her Zune HD".
Once people on facebook look at what you're listening to and how, the word Zune will get out more.
Here's how I would improve the social aspect. How would you?
