The next step would be to add the features i previously said. I would make this application be available in different languages. I would also add e feature that would have the image of the countries flag to each users profile. I feel that this would also edjucate users on other cultures and help them define different countries.
I would like to add geoLoaction to find a users location to make this project more fun. I did write some code to find the ip address and use this to determain the country.
I would like to make the piece more interactive by adding comments to each message so users can interact with each other more easily. Also to improve connectivity between users i would like to have a search function where you can search a user on there like and dislike and also the messages they post.
I would like to make a feature available to each user where they have a score bord and a world leader table. To win points you have to gain more attention with the message you send out. for example each view you get on a meassage, you gain points. the amount of comments also gives you points. There would be more ways to win and achieve points. I would then like to allow users to get badges and achievements based on there points. I feel that this would make connecting people more fun and would give users a reason to come back to the application.
