Evolving DS-x2
DS-x2 is like a living thing, it’s not a big bulky site which we only use to feed news to the needy. However, evolution comes with good ideas…
And that’s just the problem nowadays. How to satisfy readers and attract new people? Is everyone happy with the way things are? What are we lacking? What are people still looking for in a gamingnews website?
It’s easy to say that visitors come for the daily news, weekly reviews perhaps. The addition of the comments-system was well received at frst glance, but never really took off in my opinion. The RSS-feeds delivering our headlines to your desktop or own website are used, yet not particularly used by the lot either. The Friendcodes-program? Private Messaging? Forums? With eight to ten-thousand visitors a day, one would expect more than four comments per newsitem and a few hundred registered forumites (excluding the spambots)…
Of course there are numerous features we could add, but are you really interested in a weekly newsletter, a podcast or these free blogs, or is it nice to see that we’ve put in some effort to keep you busy, then move on to the next?
I ask you: what are we lacking? What could we possibly do to enrich DS-x2 once more, to put it back on the Internet-map?

Wow I was wrong, spam bots can register blogs! Oh wait, that’s just Ducky. My bad.

Anyways, DS-X2 should take into consideration what other sites are doing. The most popular things tend to be reporting faster(ie: Gonintendo), and to make news articles that speak directly to the reader(ie: Kotaku, 4CR). It’s pretty demanding, but there are sites that do it, and they increase in traffic everyday.

As for speed, that’s out of my hands. I’m at work until about 19:00 every day, and unfortunately I don’t see much from the other staffmembers either…
