Open Social Advertising System (OSAN)
Open Social Advertising System (OSAN) is a network for online users who
are interested to campaign their website in similar manner to online advertising,
and now this network makes it open advertising. Open advertising, meaning
users don’t need to wait for approval like such an approval from a marketing
service and they don’t pay here as typical advertiser does. OSAN isn’t a
marketing service, advertiser is also the publisher, it is neither a profiting site, it is
free, it was designed and developed for that sake. And the network we called it
Open Social Advertising System.
1.2 Menu (for Admin)
In this screenshot the logged user is the Admin of OSAN. The Admin
serve as the owner of the network. Additional labeled components were
marked on the screenshot below, and those components will appear if the
user is logged-in into the network. These additional components are user-side
management tool, it will only appear if the user logged-in in the network.
1.3 Menu (for Regular User)
For this screenshot the logged user is only the Regular User of OSAN.
A Regular User has no administration power like Admin Page (M2) of the
Administrator. The Admin Page (M2) is omitted to their page as shown on the
screenshot below (see M2).
Details of additional labels from the two screenshots in the previous
page are tabulated below; in this we called it User-side Management Tool:

registration will take three steps to complete. To register at OSAN, navigate the

the latter page. Registrants must read and agree to the terms and condition of
OSAN by putting a check on the check box provided in the Terms and Condition
form.
Reg.Form01
Reg.Form02
Unlike any other network, OSAN first putted the Terms and Condition
before filling-up the necessary information. Typical networks are putting their
Terms and Services and alike to separate page or they’re putting it on the last
step of registration. The creator of OSAN putted it to the first step of registration
so user may have the focus to read it first.
Reg.Form01
Terms of Use Form
After the step on reading and putting a checkbox on the Terms of Use
form, the registrant is now ready to fill-up the next form on the next step. The
Sign-up form is the second and the last form the registrant will fill-up.
