Comment needs: Better GUI and User Friendliness (Score 4) 96
One of the reasons that Gnutella flounders is the Interface. The creators had a novell idea of creating a node-based network for file sharing, but their interface needs some work.
Napster, and then Scour, both simplified their application so any nitwit (even some mac users using macster) could gain access to the resources.
A better interface as well as some way to have the top hosts from gnutellahosts.com automatically be used everytime the application is loaded up is definately a must.
What the developers need to do is try a rapid prototyping model . As much as I hated it while doing that damn internship, it really does work. People need to be surveyed on how the application should work. The only way to come up with a good product which cathes the broadest audience is to get feedback from that audience.
Thats enough bs from me.
