Trust on the web

Posted on 03. May, 2007 by in Uncategorized

What can make or break a web project? The way you handle “trust”, according to Eric Wahlforss and Alexander Ljung from Trustmojo.
In this talk Eric and Alexander gives both theoretic as well as real life examples of how you can work with trust in your web project.

You will see different behaviors among your users if you for example have an explicit rating system for how trustworthy some one is, ie the way ebay have done, or if don’t disclose how you rank someones trustworthiness. The incentive to game the ranking is in the later case much less.

Eric and Alexander spook at the web 2.0 conference Hej! 2007. This episode is recorded right after, at a quite noisy pub. They also run their consultancy firm Strategy & Interaction.

Interview in Swedish.

This looks like it could very well turn out to be the most well designed presentation, sweet. Also, that laptopback sticker collection is mighty impressive =).(…) Swell presentation even though I heard most of it at what’snext a few weeks ago. […]
