This paper analyzes and compares the existing mobile society network Websites, and proposes the concept of original MSNS. Combining with the author¿s design experiences of MSNS, this paper schemes out a design pattern for the mobile social network Website and points out its five basic characteristics, which are specific mobile services, cross-platform interface. Authentication and privacy protection, powerful searching engine and humanization community management, definite profit model. The proposed method is a general design method, which could make the design of MSNS easier and more effective.
