Pic Of The Moment - A question/comment [View all]

[zaj]

I've been thinking about the Pic Of The Moment and I think it's vastly underutilized.



I assume this was launched as a feature/benefit for the existing members. Some clever bit of content for us to see and appreciate.
It activates the front page of the site and is often clever. So kudos to staff for an effective addition to the site!

That said, I wondered if the staff see the potential power of the Pic Of The Moment.

However, a big (new) tool of the Alt-Right has been "memes" and the Pick of the Moment seems to be well executed for our consumption, but poorly executed for Meme impact. It's usually a very complex image with several photos and a wall of text. That makes perfect sense if the audience for this is us.... visitors to a message board where what we do when we are here is read.

But I think the following changes can make this a much more powerful feature.

-- Use best practices (to make them powerful and shareable)
-- Discretely tag each image with a DU logo/url (to help bring new traffic back to the site)
-- Make them easy to share on social media (to make help get these out into the "wild&quot

I guess I'm proposing that the staff shift the purpose of the Pic of the Moment from fresh content for existing members to shareable and powerful viral content for attracting new members and influence the world at large and having DU be known as a powerful source of such influence.

I'm creating a poll to get a measure of the community feedback on this suggestion. That's more helpful that just my opinion, so please vote. Thanks!
